Locating sondes
Sondes are battery powered transmitters that are useful for tracking non-metallic pipes.
The RD8000 can detect a range of sonde frequencies, including those transmitted by
exisondes and the P350 exitrax
™
crawler.
For a detailed guide on locating sondes, please refer to the RD8000 operation manual.
Using accessories
Both the transmitter and receiver are compatible with a wide range of accessories,
including all RD4000 accessories. Use clamps to help apply a signal to pipeline or
live wire. Use an A-Frame to provide the RD8000 receiver with advanced fault-nding
capabilities.
When an accessory is connected, the receiver or transmitter will instantly recognize it
and will enable the mode appropriate to the accessory. For example, attaching an A-
Frame to the RD8000 receiver will automatically switch the receiver to fault-nd mode
and limit the number of available frequencies to those that are compatible with the
A-Frame. The LCD will also display an icon of the accessory and will remove any non-
essential icons from the screen.
Fault-nding
The RD8000 PDL and PDLB have the ability to detect cable faults accurately using an
accessory A-Frame. Fault-nding works by detecting signal to ground bleeding caused
by damaged cable sheaths. For a detailed guide to fault-nding, please refer to the
RD8000 operation manual.
