display while the Sonde is ON. The display may also
show some lines of interference from the Sonde's trans-
mission. These will vanish when the Sonde is turned
OFF by again pressing the Sonde Key
The most workable approach to tracking the Sonde is to
run the pushrod into the pipe about five or ten feet (1.5
to 3 meters) and use the locator to find the Sonde's po-
sition. If desired, you can then extend the pushrod a sim-
ilar distance further down-pipe and locate the Sonde
again starting from the previous located position. To
locate the Sonde, turn the locator ON and set it to
Sonde mode. Scan in the direction of the Sonde's prob-
able location until the locator detects the Sonde. Once
you have detected the Sonde, use the locator indications
to zero in on its location precisely. For detailed instruc-
tions on Sonde locating, consult the Operator's Manual
for the locator model you are using.

Line Tracing The SeeSnake Pushrod

The LT1000 also enables you to trace the line of the
pushrod underground, using a standard RIDGID locator
such as the NaviTrack ® II, the Scout™, the SR-20 or the
SR-60. To line-trace the SeeSnake pushrod, simply con-
nect a line transmitter with one connector well-grounded
to the grounding stake and the other connector clipped to
the Transmitter Clip-on Terminal. The Transmitter Clip-on
Terminal is a metal lug located just under the left end of
the keyboard area as shown in Figure 27 .
Figure 27 – LT1000 Transmitter Clip-on Terminal
Set the line transmitter and the locator to the same fre-
quency, such as 33 kHz and use the locator to trace the
line (Figure 28). The camera's built-in 512 Hz Sonde
may be on at the same time, and if your locator is
equipped with SimulTrace™ dual-frequency capability, you
can follow the pushrod all the way to the camera's location
and then detect the Sonde in the camera as you ap-
proach it above ground.
If you don't have the SimulTrace™ feature, use a line
transmitter and a locator to line-trace the pushrod. When
the signal fades, switch the locator to Sonde mode at
. the frequency of the in-line Sonde, usually 512 Hz. Pick the
signal up from where the line-trace frequency started to
weaken and zero in on the in-line Sonde. Because locat-
ing frequencies from transmitters can cause distortion of
the image on the monitor, it is best to turn Sonde and line
transmitters OFF while inspecting the interior of a line
and turn them ON only when ready to do a locate.
