During calibration, the receiver‘s sensitivity, signal response and detection accuracy are checked against known reference signals. Each operating mode is tested to confirm the instrument responds correctly to the frequencies used for locating underground services, while helping identify any deviation from the manufacturer‘s specification. This ensures dependable and repeatable results during CAT Calibration for field use.
Regular CAT Receiver Calibration helps maintain accurate underground service detection, supports safe excavation practices and provides confidence that the receiver is performing as intended. Routine CAT Calibration reduces the risk of missed or inaccurate detections, helping protect personnel, equipment and buried infrastructure across construction, civil engineering and utility maintenance projects.
