C.Scope YIRS-640 | 640Hz Metal Pipe Sonde | Ultra-Low Frequency Signal Penetrator

The C.Scope YIRS-640 640Hz Metal Pipe Sonde is a high-performance utility accessory engineered to emit an ultra-low frequency signal capable of penetrating conductive metallic walls. This technical capability ensures the sonde is effective for tracing and identifying blockages in underground metal pipes where standard high-frequency signals fail. Built for industrial environments, it features a rugged construction of stainless steel, plastic, and epoxy resin, ensuring long-term durability in abrasive subterranean conditions.

How does the YIRS-640 penetrate metallic pipe walls?

The device utilizes an ultra-low 640Hz signal frequency specifically tuned to minimize signal attenuation caused by metallic shielding. This allows the electromagnetic field to pass through the pipe wall, making it detectable by precision locators such as the C.Scope MXL4 Multi Frequency Locator.

What is the maximum depth and battery performance of the 640Hz sonde?

The C.Scope YIRS-640 provides a maximum transmission depth of 5 meters, offering sufficient range for most utility and sewage applications. It is powered by a single 1.5V AA battery, which delivers a sustained 25-hour battery life for extended field operations.

Which tools are compatible with the YIRS-640 threading?

This sonde is designed for versatility and is equipped with a metal stud compatible with 7 t.p.i. standard threads. This allows for secure attachment to various deployment tools, including drain rods, jetters, rodders, or high-end camera equipment for use in pipes with a minimum diameter of 50mm.
