Stanlay Non Metallic PLB Telecom Duct Route Tracing System

The system comprises:
a. A software driven locating receiver that guides the user through steps necessary to locate exact route or blockage in duct
b. Traceable duct rodder designed for use in telecom ducts of 26mm inner dia or higher, up to lengths of 300 meters (1000 feet).
c. Miniaturized sonde frequency transmitter, operating at low frequencies, for use in small dia telecom ducts (or larger pipes) which allow the sonde to pass through ducts including bends.
d. Transmitter to energize the CTRAK traceable rodder.

Benefits include:

1. Quick detection of route of lost telecom ducts.
   2. Confirmation of depths at which ducts had been laid, allowing as-built maps to be updated.
   3. Detection of blockages in ducts with precision allowing the field teams to dig at a specific point, especially important in major city or town environments where random digging is not possible.

System Usage description is as follows:

The SONDE operating at 512Hz is attached to the CTRAK Traceable Duct rodder unit & is pushed inside the non-metallic HDPE Conduit or any other line until it stops due to blockage in HDPE pipe or because of entry into the next manhole. The CTRAK contains a 1 sq. mm tracer which is energized by the Line exciter at 8/16/32 or 64 kHz. The digital receiver is then set to receive frequencies at 8/16/32 or 64 kHz to trace direction and route of line in the Line Tracing Mode. Once the trace is completed until the line trace starts to fade, the receiver setting is changed to the Sonde Tracing Mode to receive 512Hz frequency transmitted by the SONDE or any other customized frequency which can then be used to pin point exact point of blockage in HDPE conduit or manhole location.
