Radiodetection Genny 4

The Radiodetection Genny4 is a professional dual-frequency signal generator used to locate buried pipes and cables. It features a class-first simultaneous dual-frequency output (33kHz and 131kHz) to detect small-diameter cables and a 10x Signal Boost mode for greater depth and distance. Built for site durability, it includes an integrated accessory tray and is fully backwards compatible with Genny3 accessories.

Dual Frequency Signal Output: Transmits a standard localization frequency alongside a specialised second signal for small-diameter utility drops.
Signal Boost Command: Increases the output power path instantly to drive tracing signals further along deep or highly insulated pipes.
Built-In Accessory Storage: Features a secure internal compartment to keep connection magnets, ground stakes, and cables protected together.
Induction Mode Capabilities: Broadcasts localized signals directly through pavement and soil without requiring physical contact with the pipe.

Full Description

The Genny4 signal transmitter is engineered to solve the most difficult utility tracing challenges on modern construction sites. While standard transmitters only emit a single frequency, the Genny4 provides a patented simultaneous dual-frequency output. It combines the familiar 33kHz signal for general-purpose tracing with a specialised high-frequency "Small Diameter Locate" signal. This secondary frequency is specifically designed to jump onto and track elusive utilities like telecoms, street lighting, and CATV spurs that are often missed by traditional equipment. For complex environments or deep-buried assets, the Genny4 features a powerful Signal Boost function. This mode increases the output signal by a factor of 10, allowing the signal to travel further along a utility and penetrate deeper into the ground. The unit is designed for ease of use with a high-strength neodymium magnet for quick attachment to street furniture and a drop-in tool tray that keeps your earth stake and direct connection leads organized. It is also Network Rail approved and features an IP54 rating, ensuring it remains a reliable workhorse in all weather conditions.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Radiodetection Genny4?

The Genny4 is a dual-frequency signal generator used to apply an active, traceable electronic signal onto buried metallic pipes and cables, allowing them to be tracked by a CAT4 locator.

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the Genny4 is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, providing a cost-effective way to execute active utility line tracing on your current contract.

What does the dual-frequency output feature do?

It transmits two frequencies simultaneously: a standard 33kHz signal for general long-distance line tracking, and a specialised second high frequency designed specifically to locate small-diameter cables like telecom or service drops.

What is the purpose of the Signal Boost function?

The Signal Boost switch increases the output power signal by up to a factor of ten, allowing the signal to travel much further along deep or highly resistant utility lines.

Can the Genny4 transmit a signal without a direct physical connection?

Yes, it features an inductive mode where placing the unit on the ground over a suspected utility will wirelessly radiate the signal down onto the pipe or cable below.

How does the direct connection method work?

You attach the red crocodile clip to a valve or valve box and the black clip to a ground stake, which injects the signal directly onto that specific metallic service.

What battery type does it use and what is the expected runtime?

The transmitter runs on four standard D-cell alkaline batteries, providing up to 40 hours of intermittent site use depending on the power output settings selected.
