C.Scope 80m Flexible Tracer 33kHz | Non-Metallic Pipe and Duct Tracing System
The C.Scope 80m Flexible Tracer 33kHz is an essential tool for utility professionals tasked with mapping non-metallic infrastructure such as ducts, sewers, and drains. This system utilizes a continuous 80-meter fibreglass rod housed in a robust rotating reel, allowing for seamless insertion into small-diameter pipes to identify routes and pinpoint obstructions with high accuracy.
How does the C.Scope 80m Flexible Tracer locate blockages?
When used with a C.Scope Signal Generator, the system transmits a 33kHz signal along the entire length of the rod. Operators can use a locator to track the route or pinpoint the built-in flexible sonde at the tip to find the exact location of a blockage or the rod's endpoint.
Does the tracer support continuous operation during insertion?
Yes, the reel is designed with a specialized slip-ring axle. This allows a C.Scope Signal Generator to remain connected to the Flexible Tracer's terminals while the rod is being fed into the pipe, ensuring continuous signal transmission without interruption.
Can this system measure the depth of non-metallic pipes?
When the 80m Flexible Tracer is paired with a depth-measuring locator, such as the DXL model, it provides precise depth data. This capability is critical for determining the vertical position of non-metallic ducts and pipes during maintenance or repair work.
