Schonstedt TraceMaster II Pipe and Cable Locator

The link between the components allows the receiver to acquire signals regarding the transmitter battery status and other operating parameters such as the approximate depth of the target, and has the ability to operate in manual or automatic gain modes. The TraceMaster II is able to operate on a passive mode, three different active modes (conductive, inductive and clamp), and a sonde mode.

• LCD screen is backlit for great usage in any low light situation
• Basic functions are easy to use, with just 2 buttons and 2 knobs, so it is ideal for anyone from the expert to the novice
• With the push of just one button, accurately measure the distance in depth to your target for instant results
• Long lasting rechargeable battery life gives you up to 60 hours operational time so you are not left with a “dead” unit
• The LCD screen displays five different views:
  • Receiver (RX) window
  • Transmitter (TX) window
  • Frequency indicator
  • Direction indicator
  • Numeric display
• Made in the USA
• 3- year manufacturer warranty
• Tested to comply with FCC Standards

Accessories
SCH-TM50910 Mini Transmitter Sonde — Self-contained signal transmitters alow you to trace the pace of non-metallic pipes and conduits and locate line blockages and pinches.	SCH-TM7000 Conductive Clip Assembly — A standard accessory for the TraceMaster II. Clips and wires are easily left behind or lost
SCH-TM7001-1 and -2 Large Heavy Duty Conductive Clip — Used for clipping on to Fire Hydrant bolts or other larger material. Clip with Black Connector Plug Part # TM70001-1 Clip with Red Connector Plug Part # TM70001-2	SCH-TM70002-1 and -2 Small Heavy Duty Conductive Clip — For those times when you don’t need the large clip but you need something a little bigger than the standard clip. Our small heavy-duty clip works great for hard-to-hold-onto pipes and cables. Clip with Black Connector Plug Part # TM70002-1 Clip with Red Connector Plug Part # TM70002-2
SCH-C91010 and C91011 Standard Conductive Clip — Great in smaller, more congested areas. Small, but rugged and reliable for general locating requirements. Black Standard Conductive Clip Part # C91010 Red Standard Conductive Clip Part # C91011	SCH-TM6000,01,02 Inductive Signal Clamps in 3", 5" or 7" — These inductive signal clamps are optimized for 82 kHz, and also work on 8 kHz to reduce bleed-over or ghosting and 455 kHz for jumping major gaskets. 3" Clamp Part # TM60000 5" Clamp Part # TM60001 7" Clamp Part # TM60002
SCH-208263 Ground Stake — Standard accessory for the TraceMaster II®. Keep extras on hand to replace stakes lost or left behind	SCH-TM45000 AutoAdaptor* — Allows you to power the Tracemaster Transmitter from your vehicle. *TraceMaster II® must be factory fitted to operate with auto adaptor.

**TraceMaster must be equipped with this option before these accessories will operate

The TraceMaster comes standard with five operating frequencies:

Passive Frequency - In this mode the transmitter is not active (see note below). The receiver picks up the AC power (factory selected 50 or 60 Hz) off the buried cables and pipes.

NOTE: The receiver "remembers" the last frequency it was operating at when it was turned off. When the power to the receiver is restored, you will have to depress the FREQ button to switch away from the frequency "remembered". If the transmitter power is turned off, the transmitter will not acknowledge receiving the commands to change frequency, and therefore the receiver will not be able to change to passive frequency. You will have to temporarily turn the transmitter on to allow it to go to passive, then you can turn it back off or leave it in the very low-power consuming "passive" mode.

Low Frequency (575 Hz) - This frequency will not jump to adjacent conductors and can only be induced with the conductive clips connected directly to access points on the utility to be traced.

Mid-range Frequency (8 kHz) - This frequency will not usually jump to adjacent conductors, but may jump across non-conductive joints in a pipe for longer tracing. It can only be induced with the conductive clips connected directly to access points on the utility to be traced, or the optional inductive clamp.

High Frequency (82 kHz) - This frequency can typically jump to adjacent conductors and can be induced by the conductive clips, the optional inductive clamp, or the built-in inductive antenna.

Very High Frequency (455 kHz) - This frequency can easily jump to adjacent conductors and it is a good frequency to use for total field survey or "quick scan" of a small area. It can be induced by the conductive clips , the optional inductive clamp, or the built-in inductive antenna.
NOTE: See Section VII: Sonde Operation, for additional considerations regarding operating frequency.
