ACCU-STIC512 Locator

The ACCU-STIC512 Locator is designed to locate the source of a 512 Hz signal. This 512 Hz frequency has
been widely adopted as the standard for locating in the sewer industry. This unit is designed to work with
the transmitters that are offered by MyTana. The ACCU-STIC512 will locate 512 Hz transmitters from other
companies. However, these instructions and the depth calibration for the locator are based on the MyTana
transmitters and may vary somewhat when using other transmitters.

Locate by sound and push button depth

The ACCU-STIC512 Locator signals strength uses an audio signal that varies with the signal strength. As the
operator gets closer, the audio signal gets louder. The Gain knob should be turned down as the operator
gets closer to the transmitter. Keep turning the Gain down until the locator produces sound only when
directly above the transmitter. Once the transmitter is located, push the depth button and read transmitter
depth in feet on the display.

Not familiar with locating? Practice locating the transmitter “above ground”.

Carefully observe how the locator signal reacts when the locator is moved, or turned.

A. STARTUP

1. Start with the Transmitter.
MyTana’s camera head contains a 512 Hz transmitter. MyTana also
offers a choice of battery powered Sonde transmitters (512 Hz). Sondes
can be attached to a sewer cable or fish tape and sent down a sewer
pipe. Determine what transmitter you will be using and make sure it is
working properly.
