The Mouse is a small self-contained watertight signal transmitter which
can be located by the C.A.T4 in Genny mode or Avoidance Mode.
Unscrew the housing and insert batteries in the orientation shown by
the diagram in the battery
compartment.
To check for correct
operation, place the Mouse
on the ground, set the C.A.T4
to Genny mode and, whilst
holding the C.A.T4 in line
with the Mouse, check that
the signal is being received.
Insert the Mouse into the
duct or drain and adjust the
C.A.T4 sensitivity to receive
the signal.
Smaller ghost signals appear
before and behind the main signal
position. Locate all three peaks to
be sure the largest middle one is
identified as the Mouse position.
Rotating the C.A.T4 about its axis
to obtain the largest signal puts
the C.A.T4 in line with the Mouse
and is a good way of identifying
the direction of the duct or pipe.

estimating Mouse depth using the C.a.T4+
Do not use the C.A.T4+ or eC.A.T4+ depth estimation to
decide if mechanical digging is appropriate.
Depth estimations are only possible when using the C.A.T4+ or
eC.A.T4+ in Genny mode.
Locate the main Mouse signal as previously described. Hold the
C.A.T4 vertical and in line with the Mouse. Press and hold the depth
M
button until ' ' appears on the display and then release. The depth
estimation will be displayed.
NOTE: If the StrikeAlert feature is enabled the alarm will
activate at approximately 1.2m when locating a mouse. If this is
inconvenient, the StrikeAlert feature can be disabled in the Genny
mode by pressing and holding the depth button for the duration
of the battery test bleep at switch on.

FlexiTrace ™ is a 50m (165') flexible conductive rod with a built-in
mouse that can be inserted into non-metallic pipes and ducts to allow
them to be located at depths of up to 3m (10') FlexiTrace can be
inserted into a pipe or duct as small as 12mm (½") internal diameter,
and with bends as tight as 250mm. To use as
a mouse, connect both transmitter leads to the
FlexiTrace lugs. In this mode, only the tip of the
FlexiTrace will be locatable. To trace the whole
length, connect the red transmitter lead to a
FlexiTrace terminal and ground the black lead,
either to the earth stake or to an appropriate
earthing point.
