Locating the Camera Using the Sonde

Many SeeSnake pipe inspection systems have a built-
in Sonde which transmits a locatable 512 Hz signal�
When the Sonde is turned ON, a locator such as the
RIDGID SR-20, SR-60, Scout™ or NaviTrack® II set to
512 Hz will be able to detect it, allowing you to detect the
camera's location underground�
Press the Sonde Key
Sonde ON and OFF�
To locate the camera using the Sonde, run the SeeSnake
push cable from 5 ft to 10 ft [1�5 m to 3 m] into the pipe
and use the locator to find the Sonde's position� If desired,
extend the SeeSnake push cable from 5 ft to 10 ft [1�5 m
to 3 m] further down-pipe and locate the Sonde again
starting from the previous located position� To locate the
Sonde, turn the locator ON and set it to Sonde mode�
Scan in the direction of the Sonde's probable location
until the locator detects the Sonde�
Once you have detected the Sonde, use the locator indi-
cations to zero in on its location precisely� For detailed
instructions on Sonde locating, consult the Operator's
Manual for the locator model you are using�
Figure 11 – Locating the Sonde
Set the line transmitter and the locator to the same
frequency and use the locator to trace the line (See
Figure 11). The camera's built-in Sonde may be on
to return to the Main
may require multiple
to highlight "Video
to select "Video In"
on the DVDPak2 to turn the
at the same time and, if equipped with SimulTrace™
dual-frequency capability, you can use the locator to
follow the push cable to the camera's location and then
detect the Sonde in the camera as you approach it
above ground�
Line Tracing the SeeSnake Push Cable
The DVDPak2 also enables you to trace the line of the
push cable underground, using a standard RIDGID
locator, such as the NaviTrack® II, the Scout™, the
SR-20, or the SR-60� To line-trace the push cable,
connect a line transmitter with one connector well-
grounded to the grounding stake and the other connec-
tor clipped to the Transmitter Clip-on Terminal�
Set the line transmitter and the locator to the same
frequency and use the locator to trace the line� The
camera's built-in Sonde may be on at the same time and,
if equipped with SimulTrace™ dual-frequency capabil-
ity, you can use the locator to follow the push cable to
the camera's location and then detect the Sonde in the
camera as you approach it above ground�
If using a line transmitter that is not equipped with
the SimulTrace™ feature, use a line transmitter and a
locator to line-trace the SeeSnake push cable� When the
signal fades, switch the locator to Sonde mode at the
frequency of the in-line Sonde, usually 512 Hz� Pick the
signal up from where the line-trace frequency started to
weaken and zero in on the in-line Sonde� Because locat-
ing frequencies from transmitters can distort the image
on the monitor, turn the Sonde and the line transmitters
OFF during the inspection of line interior and only turn
ON the Sonde and line transmitter when ready to locate�
