Type a question
What does “CAT” stand for?
Cable Avoidance Tool
Cable Analysis Tester
Circuit Alignment Tool
What is the main purpose of using a CAT & Genny?
To test electrical circuits above ground
To measure soil moisture
To detect underground pipes and cables before excavation
What is “Genny” short for?
Signal Generator
Geophysical sensor
General locator
What type of signal does the Genny transmit?
A magnetic pulse
A microwave signal
A locating signal
The CAT detects signals from:
Only the Genny
The Genny and existing power or radio signals
Only buried steel pipes
Before starting excavation, when should you scan the area with a CAT & Genny?
After obtaining plans but before excavation
Only after digging starts
Only if there are no visible utilities
What does it mean if you get a strong signal on the CAT?
The service is deep underground
The service is broken or damaged
The service is close to the surface
Which of the following best describes the “Induction” method of using a Genny?
Directly connecting to a cable
Using a clamp to apply signal
Using the Genny in the assumed position of the service and sweeping the area nearby with the CAT
What should you do if no signal is detected with the CAT and Genny?
Assume there are no buried services
Recheck equipment, connections, and try different modes
Start digging immediately
What is the safest way to initially determine the depth of a detected cable?
Use the CAT’s depth estimation function (if available)
Assume it’s always at a standard depth
Dig until you find it
Which of the following is a limitation of the CAT and Genny?
It only works in dry conditions
It can’t detect power cables
It cannot detect non-metallic pipes
Why is it important to keep CAT and Genny equipment calibrated?
To ensure accuracy and reliable detection
To make them lighter to carry
To improve battery life
