What to do if lines are jumping all over the screen while locating a Sonde with RIDGID Diagnostic Equipment?
- D
  Daniel CortezAug 21, 2025
  If lines are jumping all over the screen while locating a Sonde with your RIDGID Diagnostic Equipment, first check the batteries in the Sonde to ensure they are working. The Sonde may also be too far away; try starting closer or performing an area search. Verify the signal by placing the lower antenna close to the Sonde. Note that Sondes may have difficulty emitting signals through cast iron and ductile iron lines.

  Mrs. Margaret ReedAug 23, 2025
  If lines are jumping all over the screen while tracing with your RIDGID Diagnostic Equipment, it could be due to a weak signal or interference. Ensure the transmitter is well connected and grounded, and point the SR-60 at either lead to ensure a complete circuit. You can also try using a higher frequency, connecting to a different point in the line, or switching to inductive mode. Attempt to identify and eliminate any sources of noise, like bonded grounding. Finally, check that the SR-60 batteries are fresh and fully charged.
