vLoc3 Series Sonde Locating Quick Guide V1.4
Sondes
Sondes are small self-contained battery powered transmitters that are propelled through pipes
and ducts and can be located on the surface by a sonde locator or buried utility locator with a
sonde mode. Sondes are also built into other products such as a sewer camera, robotic crawler
camera, or attached to a jetter hose. Low-frequency versions (512Hz/640Hz) can transmit
through some metallic pipes such as cast iron which is why they are frequently used with sewer
inspection cameras.
Sondes are available in a variety of sizes and depth ranges. Different frequencies are available to
suit different locator models.
