Locating sondes
Sondes are battery powered transmitters that are useful for tracking
non-metallic pipes. The RD7000 PL, DL and TL can detect a range of sonde
frequencies, including those transmitted by flexisondes and the P350 flexitrax
™
crawler.
For a detailed guide on locating sondes, please refer to the RD7000 Operation Manual
Fault-finding
The RD7000 TL and PL have the ability to detect cable faults accurately using an
accessory A-Frame. Fault-finding works by detecting signal to ground bleeding caused
by damaged cable sheaths. For a detailed guide to fault-finding, please refer to the
RD7000 operation manual.
Using accessories
Both the transmitter and receiver are compatible with a wide range of accessories,
including all RD000 accessories. Use clamps to help apply a signal to pipeline or live
wire. Use an A-Frame to provide the RD7000 PL and TL receiver with advanced fault-
finding capabilities.
When an accessory is connected, the receiver or transmitter will instantly recognize it
and will enable the mode appropriate to the accessory. For example, attaching an A-
Frame to the RD7000 PL or TL receiver will automatically switch the receiver to fault-find
mode and limit the number of available frequencies to those that are compatible with the
A-Frame. The LCD will also display an icon of the accessory and will remove any non-
essential icons from the screen.
