Home » Cable & Pipe Locators » Plastic Pipe Locators   Combiphon Locating plastic pipes acoustically As plastic pipes are not electrically conductive, they cannot be located with the classic electro-magnetical method. Another principle in pipe location is used with the acoustic method: the pipes transmit mechanical vibrations better than the it surrounding soil. The vibrations are transmitted along the pipe and over the soil to the surface where they can be detected by a microphone (AQUAPHON®). Just as with the acoustic location of water leaks, indicates the highest intensity the position of the pipe. Basically AC or metallic pipes can also be located with this method. The System COMBIPHON® consists of the central control unit generator G5 and different pulse generators. Service pipes - water are set vibrating by the knocker. It knocks just as an electrical hammer from the outside onto the pipe.  Chain fastening for diameters up to 3.94 in, weight: 3.96 pound. Main pipes - water require more energy to be set vibrating. The water column is set into motion by extraction of water from a hydrant. The water column is restricted in intervals by a shutoff device, the stopper. The created pressure waves transmit and can be located, even over long distances. Radio control of generator G5. When e. g. locating a service pipe, it is not necessary for the user to go back to the point of coupling to modify the intensity. This is necessary as it is impossible to work with high intensity near house walls (contamination of sound), but more power is required on longer distances. Transmitting ranges of approx. 30 m from the cellar and up to 300 m on the outside are possible. Technical data of generator G5 Power supply: built-in lead accu, optional 12 V adapter or 12 V car battery Operating time: with the Knocker, between 5 – 80 h (depending on intensity) Operating temperature: 14 °F up to 122 °F Protection class: spray protection according to IP 54 (without adapter) Dimensions (W x H x D): 23.62 x 7.48 x 8.27 in (compartment for knocker and adapter, car adapter L) Weight: approx. 13.89 pound with adapter DOWNLOAD DOCUMENTS Brochure (PDF)   MUST USE AQUAPHON TO HEAR COMBIPHONE PULSE Shipping $45   Email Friend Price: $4,695.00   « Previous | Next »
