6. The Hand probe Microphone
Screw the desired amount of probe rods together as required, generally an
extension together with the tip rod is recommended. Next, attach the rod
assembly to the hand probe microphone. The longer the rod assembly the
more background noise is introduced especially on windy days. Some
people lag the rod with pipe insulation to reduce wind noise. The hand
probe is used for direct sounding on pipes and fittings.

The following photos show example methods of using the
AQUASCOPE 2 hand probe:
Caution: when probing through the soil it’s highly recommended
that a certified insulated probe such as a punch bar is used. This helps
prevent the possibility of electrical shock or damaging the aluminium
rods while probing through the ground.
