Q: Do you have a product that will help protect my DuraSonde transmitter in the pipe?
A: Yes. You can check out one of our Spring Carriers.

Q: Will it go through cast iron?
A: Yes it will. 512 Hz is perfect for locating in cast iron. It gets 15 feet in cast iron and even better range in nonmetallic lines up to 24 feet deep.

Q: Why am I not getting the full range?
A: There can be many factors. First off, always make sure you have a new battery. Second, keep in mind the soil composition of the area where you are locating. Third thing is the wall thickness of the pipe you are locating in. These are just a couple of the factors that can affect the signal strength of the transmitter.

Q: I am using a receiver other than Radiodetection or Prototek and I am not getting the range that you advertise on your website. What is the deal?
A: Our receivers are very sensitive, they tend to pick up the signals a little better than others. All our ranges posted on our website are determined with our receivers. We can't guarantee what you will get with other brands of receivers.

Q: Can I attach this directly to a sewer machine?
A: Yes you can, but we highly recommend that you buy a spring carrier to help protect and extend the life of your transmitter.
