Probe PL18-05
The Probe L18-05 from Vesala has been specially developed for locating cast iron pipes. It is designed for pipes with an inner diameter of 21mm or larger.
Technical key features
The probe has a diameter of 18.0mm and a length of 110mm. The maximum locating depth of the probe in plastic pipes is 5.3m and in cast iron pipes 3.5m. The probe becomes active only after inserting the battery; it can operate for up to 8 hours, depending on temperature. A red indicator LED mounted at the end of the probe displays the battery status. If this LED stops lighting up, the battery must be replaced. The Probe PL18-05 has an M10 (Male) or M12 (Female) thread (depending on selection) and is protected to IP68 / IK08.
Attention: The Probe PL18-05 is waterproof up to 6 bar.
Pipe locating with the Probe L18-05
The Probe L18-05 is mounted to a duct rod using the M10 (Male) or M12 (Female) thread (depending on selection). To avoid losing the signal during insertion, it is recommended to follow the probe with a cable locator.
Optionally, various adapters are available for the Probe L18-33 to mount it onto duct rods with M5 or M6 (Male) threads.
