The Radiodetection C.Scope YIRS-512 512Hz Metal Pipe Sonde is a precision-engineered transmitter for locating features and blockages within metallic utility lines. Encased in a durable plastic and steel shell with an IP68 rating, it emits a specialized 512Hz signal that reliably penetrates metal pipe walls to communicate with high-performance locators even in challenging environments.
This sonde provides a maximum signal range of 5 meters, enabling clear detection through varying thicknesses of pipe walls. Its ability to penetrate metal makes it an essential tool when used with a C.Scope MXL4 Cable Locator or similar precision systems for detecting blockages alongside camera systems.
The device operates for up to 25 hours on a single 1.5V AA battery, ensuring reliability during extended site surveys. Its compact design allows for compatibility with pipelines as small as 50mm in diameter, making it ideal for standard municipal gas and water pipe inspections.
Yes, the sonde is equipped with a stainless steel stud featuring a 7 t.p.i. thread for easy connection to standard drain rods. This robust mechanical connection allows for secure maneuvering through complex pipe networks during inspection and obstruction identifying tasks.
