Sonde PL18-05
3(8)
High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into liquids
can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.
Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high
ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into liquids.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
When the battery is inserted and the battery compartment attached, the Sonde
will start emitting a 512 Hz Signal. The Sondes location can now be detected with a
receiver that operates at the same frequency, such as the Vesala CL43. Before
use, ensure the Sonde is fully functional by locating the signal with a corresponding
receiver. Refer to the user manual of the receiver on pinpointing the location of the
Sonde.
You can attach the Sonde to a duct rod, cable rodder, snake rod, push or pull rod
using the thread at the end of the battery compartment.
When using the device for blowing with compressed air, always blow with battery
compartment end first. Refer to the user manual of the blowing unit and follow safe
work practices.
Use of compressor can lead to the Sonde exiting the duct at great speed.
Precaution: Always use a catcher at the end of the duct. If changing the
direction of the blowing due to the device getting stuck, remember to move the
catcher to the other end of the duct. Do not blow the Sonde with pressure
exceeding 6 bars. Always use safety goggles, when using the PL18-05 with
compressed air.

data
when storing the device. Always remove the batteries from the product
during storage to avoid leakage. After a long time of storage, check the function
