Locating the Sonde

You can use the integrated sonde to locate a point of in-
terest in the pipe at any time during the inspection. The
sonde is located in the spring and is assembled between
the end of the push cable and the camera. The sonde
transmits a locatable 512 Hz signal that can be detect-
ed by receivers such as the RIDGID SeekTech SR-20,
SR-24, SR-60, Scout , or NaviTrack
™
Press the Sonde key to enable and disable the sonde.
When the sonde is enabled, the LED by the key is lit and
the sonde icon displays on the screen. The 512 Hz
sonde signal can cause interference lines that may be
visible on captured media.
To locate the sonde, follow these steps:
1. Power on the receiver and set it to sonde mode.
2. Locate the sonde's general direction so you know
which way the pipe goes:
• Power on the sonde and push the push cable no
more than 5 m [15 ft] into the pipe.
• Sweep the horizon with the receiver in a slow
arc.
3. The signal strength is highest where the receiver de-
tects the sonde.
Note: For additional instructions on sonde locating, refer
to the manual for the receiver model you are using.
