Non-Metallic Pipe Tracing:
End Tracing
The very tip of the Plastic Pipe Tracer can be energised with the signal from a Generator/ Transmitter.
It is acting much like a Sonde and offers a very reliable way of pinpointing the position of the tip.
A CF Generator/ Transmitter signal is applied by connecting the red Direct Connection Lead to one of the
terminals on the Tracer and the black Earth Lead to the other terminal. As the second connection is made
a change of pitch should be heard from the Generator/ Transmitter signal indicating successful connection.
The tip of the Plastic Pipe Tracer is then pinpointed using the same technique as for Sonde tracing with the
Locator blade in line with the Tracer.
WARNING Authorisation may be required before using the Plastic Pipe Tracer on some services.
WARNING DO NOT touch the metal of the Crocodile Clips or the terminals of the Plastic Pipe Tracer
when using the Generator/ Transmitter.
NOTE It is important that a change of pitch is heard when making the connections to ensure that there is a
detectable signal present on the Tracer.
NOTE End tracing is the ideal method to use to determine where the end of the pipe is but does not give the
route of the pipe.
