Overview for 3-Section Sonde, 512 Hz
A 3-section Sonde, locatable to 19' (6m) and measuring 0.9 x 18.8" (23 x 478mm), for improved flexibility around pipe and duct corners. Supplied with M10 male end cap.
Part No: 10/SONDE-BENDI-512
Benefits of a Frequency Locator
512 Hz sondes, also referred to as “moles” or “beacons”, work with any Schonstedt pipe & cable locator. Sondes benefit a variety of industry applications. In water & sewer, they can help pinpoint blockages or pipeline defects when used with video inspection systems. You can trace a path and determine the depth of a non-metal pipe such as HDPE, PVC, transcite, or clay tile. In cable applications, they can be used to trace empty fiber-duct or adjacent conduit runs and stop at unmarked underground vaults or splice boxes. The depth accuracy of a sonde’s position can help reduce excavation costs and time. Depending on frequency, a self-contained battery-powered sonde can be detected as deep as 15 ft.
Applications
Video: Locating a Sonde
Pipe & Cable Locators that use Sondes are helpful for the following:
- Water & Sewer – Detect position of blockages and locate pipe defects, transition points or other areas of interest within the pipeline infrastructure. Locate non-metal pipes via an open access point or clean-out.
- Telecom – Path of empty fiber-duct
- Electrical – Path of empty conduit runs
- Plumbing – Locate the path or blockage of a poly pipe to septic tank or field
- Industrial – Pipeline process inspection work
- Gas – Pipeline integrity project work; Pipeline pig tracking (w/ 512 Hz transmitted sonde)
SONDE CHART
Sondes come with fittings and can be affixed to any duct rodder, plumber’s snake, fish tape, camera assembly or other insertion device (adapters may be required by user).
