Locating the Sonde

If used with a sonde (In‑Line Transmitter), the sonde can be controlled two ways. If the reel is equipped with a sonde key, that can be used to turn the sonde ON and OFF. Oth‑ erwise, the sonde is turned ON by decreas‑ ing LED brightness to zero. Once the Sonde has been located, the LEDs can be returned to their normal brightness level to continue the inspection.

A RIDGID locator such as the SR‑20, SR‑60, Scout, or NaviTrack® II set to 512 Hz can be used to locate features in the drain being in‑ spected.

Figure 20 - Locating the Reel Sonde

To locate the Sonde, turn the locator ON and set it to Sonde mode. Scan in the direction of the Sonde’s probable location until the loca‑ tor detects the Sonde. Once you have detect‑ ed the Sonde, use the locator indications to zero in on its location precisely. For detailed instructions on Sonde locating, consult the Oper ator’s Manual for the locator model you are using.
