CAT & Genny Calibration Services

Follow the instructions for your exact model and your maintenance plan. Radiodetection recommends annual service and calibration for C.A.T4 and Genny4. Some C.Scope digital equipment does not require periodic recalibration, but validation records or third-party certification may be needed. Damage, failed checks or suspect readings need attention sooner. Routine pre-use checks remain essential.

Calibration supports reliable equipment performance, but it does not guarantee that every buried service will be detected. HSG47 describes a wider safe system covering planning, locating and identifying services, and safe excavation. Correct training, suitable equipment and the manufacturer’s operating checks remain essential.

No. Radiodetection eCert is an approved remote check of the locating circuitry on compatible locators and can confirm their calibration. It cannot inspect physical condition, such as damaged seals or screens. The manufacturer also requires appropriate visual, physical and functional checks. Tell us the model and existing certificate so we can discuss the service it needs.

We work with commonly used Radiodetection, C.Scope, Leica and Vivax-Metrotech equipment. The service available depends on the model, age and condition. Send the exact make and model, or a clear photograph of its label, so we can confirm suitability before booking.

Yes, subject to model suitability. Tell us the make and model of both items and whether you want the complete set checked. A CAT is the receiver and a Genny is the signal generator: checking one does not automatically confirm the condition or performance of the other.

We explain the fault and discuss the next step with you. Depending on the equipment and issue, this may involve a repair through a suitable service partner, further assessment or replacement advice. A failed unit should not be returned to use as though it has passed calibration.

C.Scope says its CXL4, DXL4 and MXL4 locators and SGA4, SGV4 and MXT4 generators/transmitters do not require periodic recalibration. Validation records or third-party test and conformity certification may still be needed for client requirements. Send your exact model and required documentation so we can confirm the available service.

The appropriate functional checks and any required calibration or validation should be completed after repair, following the manufacturer’s procedure. The work depends on the model and the repair. Tell us what has happened to the equipment when you enquire.

Calibration starts from £50 + VAT. Your quote will identify which CAT, signal generator or complete set is covered, the work required and any transport or attendance charges. Send the make, model and quantity of each item so we can confirm the total before you book.

Fast turnaround options are available by arrangement. Timing depends on the model, condition, workload and whether you use workshop, courier or on-site service. Tell us your required return date and we will confirm availability before booking. Contact us before dropping off or sending equipment.

Yes. Contact us first to agree the equipment, price and turnaround, then send it to our Blackburn workshop using the agreed delivery instructions. Include your contact details, the booking reference and any fault information. We will confirm the return arrangements with you.

On-site visits can be arranged, particularly for larger fleets or several units at one location. Send your postcode, makes, models and quantities so we can check suitability, access requirements and availability. Courier and workshop options are also available.

Yes. Digital calibration certificates identify the make, model and serial number, with test results, calibration date and technician details. A next-due date is recorded where applicable to the maintenance schedule. Our calibration instrumentation has records traceable to national standards. Where a model requires validation rather than recalibration, we confirm the appropriate work and documentation before booking.

Our workshop is in Blackburn, Lancashire, serving businesses across Darwen, Accrington, Burnley, Preston, Chorley, Leyland and the wider North West, including Greater Manchester. Book before visiting so we can confirm your equipment, drop-off arrangements and expected turnaround. UK courier bookings and suitable on-site fleet visits are also available.

Yes. You can arrange a courier booking to our Blackburn workshop from elsewhere in the UK. On-site visits can also be discussed where suitable for the equipment and location. Send your postcode, makes, models and quantities so we can confirm the available route.

Ask us about reminder arrangements and coordinating equipment due dates when you book. For several units or sites, send your equipment list and planned availability so we can discuss a practical maintenance schedule.

Check the equipment’s maintenance instructions and your site or client requirements. If a required calibration or validation is overdue, arrange assessment and follow your procedures for keeping the equipment out of use until the required checks are completed. Send the model and existing certificate details when booking.
