Figure 13  –  CS10 Transmitter Clip-on Terminal

Set the line transmitter and the locator to the same 
frequency and use the locator to trace the line (

See 

Figure 13). 

The camera’s built-in Sonde may be on at 

the same time and, if equipped with SimulTrace™ dual-
frequency capability, you can use the locator to follow 
the push cable to the camera’s location and then detect 
the Sonde in the camera as you approach it above 
ground� 

Figure 14  –  Line Tracing the Push Cable

If using a line transmitter that is not equipped with 
the SimulTrace™ feature, use a line transmitter and a 

locator to line-trace the SeeSnake push cable� When 
the signal fades, switch the locator to Sonde mode 
at the frequency of the in-line Sonde, usually 512  Hz� 

Pick the signal up from where the line-trace frequency 
started to weaken and zero in on the in-line Sonde� 
Because locating frequencies from transmitters can 
distort the image on the monitor, turn the Sonde and 
the line transmitters OFF during the inspection of line 
interior and only turn ON the Sonde and line transmitter 
when ready to locate�
