The 8872-SD cable, pipe, camera and Sonde locator offers two active frequencies -- 512 Hz, 51 kHz -- ensuring the ability to track any manufacturer's camera or Sonde system operating on 512 Hz. Rycom Instruments® Sondes can be used to locate pinches and blocks in non-pressurized conduits and pipes. Sonde frequencies are matched to the frequency of the receiver. Sondes at all frequencies will trace through conduit up to 20 feet in the air or 10 feet in cast iron.

Passive frequencies identify "live" and charged power lines by their naturally occurring electromagnetic fields. The 8872-SD offers 1 passive frequency - 50/60 cycles - allowing line locating without the use of a transmitter.

Simple to operate, the ergonomically designed and balanced 8872-SD receiver pinpoints inspection cameras, and Sondes in nonmetallic conduits in a peak mode. A large backlit digital display provides both relative and actual signal strength while a variable tone pitch gives an audio indication to the signal. The triple antennae configuration provides push-button depth accurate up to 15 feet and works in a peak, pin-point peak and null modes when used with a transmitter.

Whether locating water lines, sewer lines, inspection cameras, or Sondes, this is an economical and dependable locator for companies of all sizes.
