Overview
The Digimouse is a compact dual frequency signal transmitter used to trace drains, sewers and other non-conductive services and is often referred to as a ‘sonde’. It can be attached to a range of equipment including drain rods, boring tools and inspection cameras. The Digimouse is powered by a 1.5V LR6 (AA) battery, so unlike other accessories, this does not require a connection to the transmitter.
Applications:
Once attached to a rod (or similar) the Sonde can be inserted and pushed along the utility under investigation. Using a Digicat cable locator to locate it on the surface, you can trace pipes which do not produce their own signal and which you are unable to apply a signal to (i.e. plastic pipe).
The Sonde operates in both 8kHz and 33kHz modes and flashes a different colour depending on what mode it's in, making it simple and easy to use.
The dual frequency Sonde is ideal for:
- Tracing the path of a pipe or drain
- Locating blockages or collapses in drains
- Locating or tracing non-metallic pipes that don't produce a signal.
The depth range of the Sonde is up to 5 metres.
Please Note: You will need to use a cable locator that has depth estimation on to get a depth reading
