Radiodetection Standard Sonde 33kHz | 5m Depth Pipe & Duct Transmitter

The Radiodetection Standard Sonde 33kHz is a robust, self-contained transmitter engineered for precision underground utility tracing. Measuring 1.53" x 4.13" (39mm x 105mm), this compact device is battery-powered, removing the need for external power sources during field operations. It is specifically designed to be connected to a flexrod for locating non-metallic pipes, ducting, and conduit in various industrial environments.

What is the maximum locating depth of the Radiodetection 33kHz Sonde?

This high-performance sonde is capable of being detected at a maximum depth of 16' (5m). This allows for accurate location and depth measurement in standard subterranean utility applications using a 33kHz receiver.

How is the Standard Sonde typically deployed in the field?

The sonde is commonly attached to a flexrod or similar push-rod system to be guided through narrow ducting or pipework. Its independent battery-operated design ensures it remains active throughout the survey without requiring tethered power cables.

What frequencies are available for this Radiodetection model?

While this specific unit operates at 33kHz, the Standard Sonde range is manufactured in three distinct frequencies to suit different soil conditions and interference levels: 512Hz, 8kHz, and 33kHz.

Accessories & Compatibility

• For physical deployment, this sonde is compatible with the Radiodetection Flexrod range.
• Ideal for use with precision locators such as the Radiodetection RD8200 and the Radiodetection RD7200.
• Standard avoidance tasks can be performed using the Radiodetection CAT4 series.
• Alternative frequency options include the Radiodetection Standard Sonde 512Hz and the Radiodetection Standard Sonde 8kHz.
