LOCATE UNDERGROUND PIPE
A sonde is a battery-powered locating beacon used to pinpoint rod end. Its signal is detected by a receiver.
Using an adapter, the sonde is attached to the rod ferrule to locate in underground pipes or conduit.
This sonde is designed, depending on frequency, to trace the path of or locate blockages in metallic pipe, non-metallic pipe or conduit when used with a receiver.
Sonde transmits a signal which can be located with a receiver configured to receive the same frequency as the sonde. Some receivers with depth capability can use sonde to display depth information.
TEST OPERATION:
Use receiver to test sonde function before leaving for jobsite and after
every battery change:
- Turn on receiver.
- Select proper sonde frequency or mode on receiver.
- Check display for signs of sonde signal with depth capability can use sonde to display depth information
INSPECT COMPONENTS:
- Make sure battery has enough charge to complete job.
- Ensure battery is properly inserted into chamber.
- Inspect o-ring for nicks and cuts.
NSTALL BATTERY:
- Unscrew cap.
- Insert one “AAA” alkaline battery as shown.
- Hand tighten cap firmly
FOR BEST RESULTS:
Keep sonde stationary when locating signal. Identify sonde location at the
main signal. A typical sonde pattern shows a main signal and
two weaker secondary signals. Familiarity with sonde signal patterns will
lessen effect of ghost signals.
CLEAN AND STORE COMPONENTS
When finished using, thoroughly wash and dry sonde. Remove battery.
