Signal clamps

When it is not possible to connect to a pipe or cable using a direct connection lead, a 

transmitter signal clamp can be connected to the accessory socket of the transmitter 
and the output signal can be applied. This is particularly useful with live cables as it 
removes the need to disable the power and break into the line.
To locate or indentify individual lines a locator signal clamp can be connected to the 
accessory socket of the locator and can be clamped around individual cables or pipes 
that are bunched together.

Radiodetection supplies a range of signal clamps to suit many applications.

Stethoscopes

At times, it may not be possible to use a locator to locate or identify a particular target 

line due to inaccessibility. In these situations a stethoscope antenna should be used to 
locate or identify individual target lines.

Radiodetection supplies a range of stethoscopes to suit most applications. To use a 
stethoscope, connect it to the locators accessory socket. The locator will automatically 
detect the device and filter out location modes that are irrelevant.

Locating sondes

Sondes are battery powered transmitters that are useful for tracking non-metallic pipes 

and can be fitted to flexrods and inserted into pipes and ducting etc. The PL, 
DL and TL models can detect a range of sonde frequencies, including those transmitted 

by FlexiSondes and the P0 Flexitrax

 crawler.

For a detailed guide on locating sondes, please refer to the  Operation Manual.

Fault-finding

The TL and PL models have the ability to detect sheath cable faults 

accurately using an accessory A-Frame. The Tx- and Tx-10 transmitters provide a fault 

finding signal that can be detected with an A-frame, which occurs whenever there is 

damage to cable sheaths. 

For a detailed guide to fault-finding, please refer to the operation manual.

Using accessories

Radiodetection have designed a range of accessories to use with the locators 

and transmitters. These accessories can be used on a wide range of applications for 

applying signals to target lines, fault finding on cables, identifying individual target lines 
and locating plastic pipes etc. Applicable RD4000 accessories are compatible with the 
locator and transmitters.
For detailed information on accessories please see the operation manual
