Sondes
(Optional)
Attach a sonde to the camera. A sonde is a self-contained transmitter for tracing the paths of
pipes, sewers, ducts and drains.
By attaching a CUES flexisonde (or solid sonde) to your camera and using a CUES locator such as a
CUES Accupoint or a Radiodetection RD5100S or RD7100DL, you can locate and track the camera as it
navigates a pipe.
Flexisonde:
This sonde (built-in on 541c Plumbers reels) fits between the pushrod and the camera,
allowing the system to better negotiate bends in the pipe.
Solid sonde:
This sonde adds extra rigidity to the camera and it is ideal for ‘long push’ inspections. A solid
sonde can be used in conjunction with a
universal flexi
; see below.
Note: The sonde fits on the pushrod between the rod termination socket and the camera.
