The ergonomically designed and balanced 8869 receiver provides instant push-button depth up to 15 feet and current measurement to identify the target utility in crowded easements. Audible proximity cues to the tracing signal are given to the user through either peak or null tones while the backlit digital display provides both relative and actual signal strength.
The 8869 can quickly and simply locate line faults when used with the optional "A-frame" GRP (ground return probe). As the operator moves towards the fault the receiver will respond with rapidly peaking signal. When the "A-frame" is placed directly over the fault, the receiver will provide a null response.
Conduit pinches can be located using the optional Sonde accessory. Operating on active frequencies of 815 Hz and 8 kHz, Rycom Instruments® Sondes are pushed into non-pressurized conduits and pipes until they reach the point of pinch or blockage. Traceable 20 feet in the air and 10 feet in cast iron, the 8869 receiver will identify the precise location of the line blockage.
