Frequently Asked Questions - LKZ-1000 Sonel

How do I locate a buried service with the LKZ-1000?

First, perform a sweep search in Power mode, then Radio mode. Hold the locator upright near the ground. When a signal is detected, pinpoint by moving the locator until the signal strength indicator is at maximum. The service is directly below. Use chalk or paint to mark the location.

What is the depth accuracy of the locator?

The typical depth accuracy is ±10% of depth in line or Sonde mode, within a depth range of 0.3 to 3.0 m (1 to 10 ft). For best results, take a measurement over a straight run of the service.

How long do the batteries last?

When using 6 x LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries, the locator provides approximately 40 hours of intermittent use at 20°C (68°F) in 8 kHz or 33 kHz mode. Replace all batteries when the battery indicator is empty.

What operating modes are available?

The locator has five modes: Power (50/60 Hz), Radio (15-60 kHz), 8 kHz, 33 kHz, and Auto (combines Power and Radio). Use Auto for initial sweep, then switch to single mode for better definition.

What is the Hazard Zone feature?

Hazard Zone provides an additional alarm when the locator is in close proximity to a service emitting a Power, 8 kHz, or 33 kHz signal. It can be switched on or off in the user settings. The absence of an alarm does not guarantee no service is present.

Can I trace non-metallic pipes with this locator?

Yes, but you need accessories. Use the Conductive Rod (for non-metallic pipes) or the Sonde NAD-1 (for drains and sewers). These accessories work with the locator and transmitter to trace non-metallic services.

How do I use the transmitter to apply a signal?

Switch on the transmitter LKN-1000 and select either Induction (no connection) or Connection mode (using cable set). In Connection mode, connect the red cable to the service and black cable to an earth pin. Set the frequency to match the locator (8 kHz or 33 kHz).

What maintenance does the LKZ-1000 require?

After use, dry the locator at below 40°C. Keep all plugs clean and dry. Replace batteries when low. An annual service (calibration) is recommended. The case foot is replaceable if worn. Do not repack until everything is completely dry.

Is the locator waterproof?

The locator has an IP54 rating, meaning it is dust-protected and splash-proof. It is not submersible. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly before storage. The Sonde NAD-1, however, is fully submersible.

How do I check if the locator is working correctly?

Perform an Audio/Visual display test by pressing the trigger. All segments and LEDs should light, and a tone should sound. Then run the EST (Extended Self Test) from the settings menu. The display should show PAS for pass. If it shows ERR, the unit needs service.

1.2 Sonel - General Information

Description

Locators are used to detect buried conductive services emitting an electromagnetic signal which is generated by a current passing through the service.

Transmitters are used to apply a distinct signal to conductive services, which may not radiate electromagnetic signals or may need to be traced for a specific purpose. The Transmitter is required to make a depth measurement.

The Locators and Transmitters described within this manual will greatly increase the detection process and help to reduce the dangers and costs associated with service strikes. But the very nature of electromagnetic location is dependent on the services being conductive (metallic) and radiating a signal as current flows through them.

It is important to remember that a Locator on its own will not detect all services and care should be taken when excavating. It is generally accepted that a safe system of work should be adopted which would include planning the work in advance, the use of utility maps, the use of Locators and Transmitters, and the use of safe digging practices.

Caution

The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a service. Services without a detectable signal may be present.

The Locators can only locate non-metallic services such as plastic pipes, typically used by the water and gas utilities, with the use of appropriate accessories.

Precautions:

Always excavate with care.

Accessories

Designed to increase the detection of services with no (or little) signals on them. Generally work in conjunction with the Locator and Transmitter.

Functional Check

Designed to demonstrate the equipment is working satisfactorily in between service intervals. Refer to "Appendix A Functional Checks" for more information.

  • 33 kHz
  • Auto mode (Power mode only)

Hazard zone status indicators

Status Indicator Description
	Hazard zone is switched on.
	Hazard zone on and is alarming.
	Hazard zone is switched off.

Caution

The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a service. Services without a detectable signal may be present. The Locators can only locate non-metallic services such as plastic pipes, typically used by the water and gas utilities, with the use of appropriate accessories.

Precautions:

Always excavate with care.

2.5 How to Locate a Service

Start up test

The following test sequence will take place every time the Locator is activated.

On test Test pattern Info on label
Audio Output	On throughout test sequence
Signal Strength indicator	Scrolls through in sequence once
Mode indicators Briefly illuminated
Battery indicator On throughout
Measurement unit, display readout, depth mode indicator	Briefly illuminated

Locating process

The unit will then go into Power mode maximum sensitivity.

The locating process is split into three steps:

• Sweep Search
• Pinpointing the service
  • Direction of the service

Sweep Search T

he unit will automatically select Power mode and maximum sensitivity

Auto mode combines the benefit of simultaneous detection in Power and Radio modes and helps to confirm the presence of services upon initial site occupation. Improved definition of the service will be provided by single mode operation.

1. Define the area to be excavated.
2. In Power mode cross the site from left to right keeping the Locator LKO-1000 upright, taking care not to swing the unit. Turn through 90 degrees and repeat.
   Ensure that the Locator is held in an upright position and close to the ground.
3. Continue the sweep until either a signal is located or you are satisfied that the area has been adequately tested.
   In the presence of a service emitting a traceable signal a tone will be emitted and the signal strength indicator will rise and fall as you pass over it.
4. Repeat the Sweep Search process in Radio mode.
   The Sweep Search must be conducted in Power and Radio modes as a minimum, as not all services (including some electrical ones) emit a power signal. These services may be found using Radio mode or active modes.

Hazard zone can be operated in Power, 8kHz, 33kHz and Auto modes and provides an additional alarm to the presence of buried services which may be within close proximity.

Pinpointing the service

Retrace your steps to the area where the highest signal reading (peak response) was obtained. The service is directly below the Locator when the signal strength indicator is at its maximum. The audio output will automatically adjust to facilitate pinpointing over the service, and automati-cally reset when the signal strength indicator drops to its minimum position.

• Always use chalk or paint to mark services, never pegs.
- The signal strength indicator does not indicate the size, depth or type of a service.

Peak hold

When activated peak hold will show the highest peak reading obtained during the pinpoint process. The displayed reading can be adjusted between 0 to 5 seconds.

Detecting direction of the service

1. Position the Locator directly over the service.
2. Rotate the Locator on its axis.
3. The blade of the Locator will be in line with the service when the signal strength indicator is at its minimum.

Depth Indication

1. Apply a signal to the service. Refer to Chapter 3 "How to Use the Transmitter" for more information.
2. Select either 33kHz or 8kHz modes to suit the the Transmitter's output. Position the Locator directly over, and at 90 degrees to the direction of the service.
3. Press and release the i Button.
4. The display readout will indicate the depth of the service and the Line mode icon will be displayed.

• Activating Sonde depth will provide an inaccurate readout.
  • Always use chalk or paint to mark services, never pegs or other material which are driven into the ground.
  • Additional services may be within the excavation zone, as well as the service you are taking a depth reading from.
• The reading will be more accurate when taken over a straight run, where the service does not bend, or have a service crossing it or coming off it.
• An additional depth reading should be taken with the locator lifted off the ground by approximately 100 mm (4 inches). The reading obtained should confirm the addition of this height.

Depth shown and actual depth:

d1 Depth shown on the Sonel = depth to the centre of the line.

d2 Actual depth of the service.

Note the difference between d1 and d2!

Warning

The depth reading might not reflect the real depth if your Locator picks up the signal induced into the service by the Transmitter. This signal is radiated from the centre of the service.

This is even more important when the signal is produced by a Sonde, lying in a large diameter conduit!

Precautions:

Always compensate depth reading for service size.

Measuring Sonde depth

1 Switch on the sonde and set to the required frequency. Refer to Chapter 7 "How to Use the Sonde" for more information.
2. Select either 33kHz or 8kHz mode to suit the Sonde's output. Position the Locator directly over, and in line with the Sonde. Refer to Chapter 7 "How to Use the Sonde" for more information.
3. Press and hold down the iButton for 2 seconds until the dashed lines have scrolled through once.
4. The display readout will indicate the depth of the Sonde and the Sonde mode icon will be displayed.

1. An additional depth reading should be taken with the locator lifted off the ground by approximately 100 mm (4 inches). The reading obtained should confirm the addition of this height.

2. Activating line depth will provide an inaccurate readout.
   • Always use chalk or paint to mark services, never pegs or other material which are driven into the ground.
   • Additional services may be within the excavation zone, as well as the service you are taking a depth reading from.

Depth shown and diameter:

Illustration of a person standing on a platform with circular patterns and a central circular object (no text or symbols)

Take special care when the signal is produced by a sonde, lying in a large diameter conduit!

3. How to Use the Transmitter LKN-1000

3.1 General Information

Tracing signal	The Transmitter applies an electrical current signal onto a buried metallic service, which enables the service to be traced and identified by the Locator operating in the same mode.
Operating mode	There are three operating modes for onsite flexibility:8kHz for congested site operation33kHz for general usageCombined 8kHz and 33kHz available in Connection mode, enabling rapid selection and convenience on congested sites. The Locator can be used in either mode.
Description	Active tracing is a term frequently used when a Transmitter is used to apply a signal to a service enabling it to be traced. The use of a Transmitter will greatly improve the detection of services especially ones which may not have a signal on them.The signal from the Transmitter can be applied to services in two ways:Induction mode (8kHz or 33kHz):Induction is a quick and simple way to apply a signal to a service without the need to make any physical connection to it. The Transmitter uses an internal aerial to transmit the signal, therefore it should be noted that the signal will apply itself to additional services within close proximity to the Transmitter.Connection mode (8kHz or 33 kHz or combined 8kHz and 33kHz):This is the most efficient way of applying a signal to a service, and should be used whenever possible. The Transmitter's cable set or any of the available accessories are connected to the service which is to be traced or identified.8kHz is less likely to apply itself to additional services making tracing in areas of multiple services easier.33kHz is suitable for general site use.Combined 8 and 33kHz (Connection mode only) is useful in congested areas when either 8 or 33kHz may provide a better result. The best results can be simply achieved by switching modes on the Locator.

7. How to Use the Sonde NAD-1

7.1 General Information

Description

The Sonde is a dual frequency signal transmitter used to trace drains, sewers and other non conductive services. It can be attached to a range of equipment including drain rods, boring tools and inspection cameras. It is powered by a 1.5V LR6 (AA) battery, so unlike other accessories this does not require a connection to the transmitter. The signal pattern transmitted from the Sonde is different to that which is radiated from a service; transmitting a peak signal over its main body, with a ghost signal at the front and back. This requires the Sonde to be traced with its own unique method. The i-Series Locators feature a numeric signal strength indicator (user setting SSI set to ON) which will greatly improve the locating process.

The numeric signal strength indicator is shown in the display readout on the Locator.

7.2 Sonde Overview

Sonde main parts

a) LED
b) Sonde body
c) LR6 (AA) battery
d) End cap and M10 connection point

The thread on the Sonde is a male M10, and comes with adaptors to both British and European drain rods.

Changing the frequency output

Changing to 33kHz mode:

1. Unscrew and remove end cap. Insert battery, positive end first. Refit end cap securely.
2. Hold Sonde upright. Confirm green LED is continuous.
3. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the green LED to start flashing.
4. With the green LED flashing, the Sonde is ready for use at 33kHz.

Changing to 8kHz mode:

1. Unscrew and remove end cap. Insert battery, positive end first. Refit end cap securely.

2. Hold Sonde upright. Confirm green light is continuous.

3. Rotate Sonde so the LED points down and wait approximately 1second.

4. Rotate Sonde upright. Confirm the amber coloured LED is continuous. If LED remains green repeat from step 1.

5. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the amber LED to start flashing.

6. With the amber LED flashing, the Sonde is ready for use at 8kHz.

Once the function of the Sonde has been checked with a Locator set to the same operating mode it can be attached to drain rods or other means of guiding it into the service being traced.

7.3 How to Locate a Service Using the Sonde

Locating the Sonde

1. Walk in line with the suspected direction of travel observing the display. The signal strength indicator will rise and fall as you pass over the ghost signal at the back of the Sonde, the peak signal directly over the Sonde and the ghost signal at the front. The numeric signal strength indicator will display its highest value when detecting the peak signal.
2. Retrace your steps and position the locator directly over the peak signal. Move the locator left and right until the highest numeric reading is obtained. This reading will indicate the Sonde's precise location.

3. Depth indication

Depth indication can be used with a suitable depth locator. The locator must be positioned directly over the Sonde and in line with it (rotate the locator on its axis to find the highest reading). Press and hold the i Button for 2 seconds. The depth of the Sonde will be displayed in the depth readout window and the Sonde mode icon will be visible beneath the display.

- For ease and convenience mark the ground every 3 to 4 metres.

- For ease of use practice the process above ground

Tracing a "walk through" sewer

Illustration of a person using a tool on a circular platform over water, with no visible text or symbols

If a "walk through" sewer is being traced, another method is to place the Sonde vertically, for example to pinpoint a buried manhole. The Locator will pick up a pool of signal with a null point at the centre. This is an accurate method, but it is essential to ensure the Sonde is vertical.
