Sonde 33 KHz (Variant 2
& 3)
The unit is fitted with a high output
Sonde Transmitter which operates
at a frequency of 33KHz. The
Sonde is locatable by a standard
Camera / Cable locator with a
depth function.
To turn the Sonde on press the
Sonde Button (fig 2 (12)). A green
LED illuminates signifying that the
Sonde is working.
Due to the high output of the
transmitter the image is turned off
whilst the sonde is turned on, due
to interference caused by the high
signal strength.
DISTANCE COUNTER
(Variant 2 & 3)
The on screen distance counter
provides an estimate of how much
rod has been deployed, which can
be used to establish the position of
the camera head. The counter
should be calibrated before cable
deployment. The cable count can
be reset to zero at any time to give
a relative distance count, by
pressing F12.
Before each operation the system
should be calibrated with the
Camera Head in the Rod guide and
the entire rod stored in the reel and
pressing
F11
on the keyboard.
When starting a survey the counter
can be zeroed by pressing
F12.
