Pipe Location Transmitter

The pipe location transmitter allows the user to pin-
point the location and depth of the camera head
greater than 10 feet underground in cast iron pipe.
The transmitter emits a 512Hz signal that is sensed
by the receiver. The transmitter is designed to work
with manufacturer's receivers who use 512Hz.
One of the great features of our transmitter is that it is
powered by the same power supplied to the camera
head. Once installed, it is always ready for use,
whether or not you choose to bring the receiver along
on the job. There are no batteries or extra cables
required, and the system still travels the hard 90
degree bends.

Installing the Pipe Location Transmitter

1. Remove the camera head from the spring assem-
bly. (See Corrective Maintenance – Removing
Camera Head section.)
2. With the camera head removed, you can see that
the connector passes through the locking sleeve,
and that there is a rounded ridge on the connector
that prevents it from slipping out the rear of the lock-
ing sleeve. You want to carefully push the connec-
tor out the back of the locking sleeve (Figure 21).
Use a blunt object, such as the eraser-end of a pen-
cil or a finger to push on it, while pulling on it from
the back. Don't grasp the coil cord when pulling,
grasp the connector! You can lube the connector to
make it easier, if necessary. BE CAREFUL not to
damage the sockets of the connector by pushing on
it with a sharp object, like a screwdriver.
CAUTION
Be sure to use non-conductive lubricant. a sili-
cone lubricant is suggested.

After removing the camera head, slip the coil connec-
tor out of its locking sleeve. Some silicone lubricant
makes removal much easier. Keep the stainless
cables untwisted by holding the sleeve and rotating
the ring on it that the cables are attached to.
Figure 22
On the transmitter, unscrew the plastic locking sleeve.
Place the plastic locking sleeve (leading with the
tapered end) over the coil connector. Again, some sil-
icone lubricant makes this easier.

Push the coil connector onto the leads making sure
that it is fully seated. Screw the plastic locking sleeve
back onto the transmitter.
