C.Scope YIRS-8 | 8kHz Non-Metallic Pipe Sonde | 7m Depth Tracing

The C.Scope YIRS-8 is a specialized Non-Metallic Pipe Sonde engineered to emit a powerful 8kHz signal, allowing for the precise detection and tracing of underground utilities. Constructed from a rugged combination of plastic, stainless steel, and epoxy resin, this device is specifically designed to navigate non-metallic infrastructures such as gas mains, water pipes, and sewer lines. Its high-intensity signal is optimized for detection by precision locators operating in transmitter mode, effectively preventing accidental strikes during large-scale excavation and surveying projects.

How does the C.Scope YIRS-8 trace non-metallic pipes?

The device is inserted into a pipe and emits a continuous 8kHz signal that permeates non-conductive materials, allowing operators to trace the path of the utility. It is capable of achieving an impressive maximum tracing depth of 7 meters, making it suitable for deep-fill utility installations.

What are the durability specifications for underground use?

The sonde features a robust, water-resistant build with an IP68 rating, ensuring full protection against water ingress during submersion in sewage or water lines. It is powered by a single 1.5V AA battery, providing up to 15 hours of continuous operational life in the field.

Which equipment is compatible with the YIRS-8 sonde?

This sonde is designed for versatility, fitting into pipes with a minimum diameter of 50mm and featuring a 7 T.P.I. thread for standard drain rod attachment. It is fully compatible with precision receivers like the C.Scope MXL4-D Precision Locator and various duct rodders or camera systems.
