Leica MiniSonde  (33kHz)

The Mini Sonde 33 for Leica Locators is a compact instrument that tracks drains, sewers and other non-conductive utilities.

This Leica mini sonde consists of an M12 female thread that is easy to attach to equipment such as drain rods, boring tools, and inspection cameras.

It offers a depth range of up to 33 feet (10 m) and has an operating frequency of 33 kilohertz. Also, it works perfectly with the DD100 Series and the DD200 Series.

Also available as a option a shck absorber for the PL18 ( see Photo)

Using a pipe transmitter sonde
PL18-33 powers on when the battery compartment is turned to the transmitter section. Sonde is attached to the push rod (snake) with the M12 threaded sleeve of the battery compartment or with tape. After that the sonde is pushed into the target pipe using the push rod.

To avoid loosing signal e.g. at corners the sonde is traced with a cable tracer receiver along as it moves ahead. If sonde hits an obstacle or blockage, it´s possible to define the location and depth very accurately, which reduces unnecessary digging.

PL18-33 has a red power-on LED at the side of the sonde. LED goes off if battery is weak. PL18-33 diameter is 18 mm and length with standard battery compartment 87mm. Transmitted signal is continuous 32.768 kHz.
