Locating Sondes Overview
A Sonde is a self-contained, battery-operated line locating transmitter used for tracing the paths of pipes, ducts, sewers and drains and in the precise location of blockages or collapses. This small electronic locator can be fitted to a flexible rod for insertion or pushing through pipes. The smaller diameter Sondes can be used in conjunction with jetting machines and blown through the duct.
Locating and Tracing a Sonde
Insert the locating Sonde in the drain or duct access and locate it while it is still just in view at the drain or duct entrance. Hold the locator vertical directly over the Sonde, keeping the antenna in line with the Sonde.
