Line Tracing the SeeSnake Pushrod
In addition to being able to locate the Sonde built into
the system camera, it is possible to trace the path of the
pushrod underground, using a RIDGID locator such as
the NaviTrack II, Scout, SR-20, or SR-60�
To line-trace the SeeSnake pushrod:
1� Connect a line transmitter with one connector
well-grounded to the grounding stake, and
the other connector clipped to the CS1000's
Transmitter Clip-on Terminal�
Figure 24 – Sonde Key and Transmitter Clip-on
Terminal
2� Set the line transmitter and the locator to the
same desired frequency, such as 33 kHz, and
use the locator to trace the line�
The built-in 512 Hz Sonde may be on at the same time,
and if your locator is equipped with SimulTrace dual-
frequency capability, you can follow the pushrod all
the way to the camera's location and then detect the
Sonde in the camera as you approach it above ground�
Figure 25 – Line Tracing the Pushrod
Alternatively, use a line transmitter and a locator to
line-trace the pushrod� When the signal fades, switch

the locator to Sonde mode� Pick the 512 Hz signal up
from where the line-trace frequency started to weaken
and zero in on the in-line Sonde�
Because locating frequencies from transmitters can
cause distortion of the image on the monitor, it is best
to turn Sonde and line transmitters off while inspecting
the interior of a line, and turn them on only when ready
to do a locate�
