DCD Detectable Duct Rodders are available in the same lengths as the regular rodders and are mounted in the same frames. The
purpose of the detectable rod is to be able to accurately locate existing ducting underground or to locate the position of a blockage within a duct.
Each DCD detectable duct rod unit is supplied with a terminal box mounted on the frame with male and female banana terminals for external hook up.
It is recommended that a Roller Guide (57150 series) be used in order to better make the connection between the end of the rod and the wall of the ducting. This is necessary in order
to complete the circuit back to earth.
Any transmitter can then be hooked up to the terminal box with the second lead from the transmitter going to ground (spike into earth). Once switched on, the signal will be transmitted
along the duct rod and a standard locator can then be used to locate the signal source from above ground.
DCD also offers various stainless steel Sonde Adapters (57170 series) for attaching a sonde unit to the Swivel Rod End (57135 series).
The Detectable Duct Rodders use 20 to 25 gauge copper wire.
Note: Caution should be exercised when ordering long lengths because the signal will diminish with distance traveled.
EXTREME CAUTION: Never use a Detectable Rodder in a live electrical environment.
Electrical shock or death may result if conductive rod touches an exposed circuit.
Note: For Standard Rodder units that do not include accessories shown above, add 'X' to the part number.
