Using Accessories - Radiodetection rd7000+ Bedienungsanleitung

*Use of the red Electrical Power (PWR) marker locate mode is subject to radio licensing restrictions
for Short Range Devices in the EU and possibly other countries. It is the responsibility of the user
to ensure that the red Power (PWR) marker locate mode is only enabled in countries where radio
licensing restrictions do not apply at the operating frequency of 169kHz.
If required and permitted use RD Manager to enable this frequency.

Using accessories

The locator and transmitter are compatible with a wide range of accessories. For detailed
information on using any of the accessories below please refer to the RD7000+ locator
operation manual.
Signal clamps
When it is not possible to connect directly onto a pipe or cable, or induction mode is
unsuitable, a transmitter signal clamp may be used. The clamp is plugged into the output
of the transmitter and provides a means of applying a locate signal to an insulated live
wire. This is particularly useful with live insulated cables as it removes the need to disable
the power and break the line.
WARNING! Do not clamp around uninsulated live conductors.
WARNING! Before applying or removing the clamp around a power cable ensure
that the clamp is connected to the transmitter at all times.
To locate or identify individual lines a locator signal clamp can be connected to the
accessory socket of the locator and can be clamped around individual pipes or cables.
Stethoscopes
At times, it may not be possible to use a clamp around a cable because of congestion
or inaccessibility. A stethoscope antenna should be used in place of a clamp to identify
cables.
Radiodetection supplies a range of stethoscopes to suit most applications.
To use a stethoscope, connect it to the locator's accessory socket. The locator will
automatically detect the device and filter out location modes that are irrelevant.
Sondes and FlexiTrace
Sondes are battery powered transmitters that are useful for tracing non-metallic pipes.
The RD7000+ can detect a range of sonde frequencies, including those transmitted by
Flexisondes, GatorCam
For a detailed guide on locating sondes, please refer to the operation manual.
A FlexiTrace is a traceable fiberglass rod incorporating wire conductors with a sonde
at the end. It is connected to the output of the transmitter and is typically used in small
diameter, non-metallic pipes. The user has the option of locating the entire length of the
cable or choosing to locate only the tip of the cable.
