For the most reliable signal available, the SPY® Pig Transmitter uses low frequency signals to effectively and consistently penetrate a steel pipe wall. We offer numerous transmitter sizes to cover a full spectrum of pipe diameters. Each transmitter is self-contained and Applications travels inside various pigs, attached to versatile brackets, or towed. • Mainline Transmission A hand-held receiver and wand are used to locate the transmitter. • Gathering Lines SPY TRANSMITTERS have been proven effective in the field for • Subsea Lines many years. Each SPY® transmitter is designed and built for long reliable service. • Municipal Gas • Rugged casing is liquid-tight. • Water and Wastewater • Battery operated. • Coded signal minimizes false readings. • Refining and the • Strongest signal available.

To locate a pig equipped with a SPY® Transmitter, the SPY® 23 HZ Receive (Pig Tracker Receiver and Wand) registers the changing magnetic field produced by any SPY® Transmitter. When the Transmitter is located, the 23 HZ Receive produces both an audio and visual output. With two standard 9-volt alkaline batteries, the 23 HZ Receive can be powered continuously for approximately 50 hours. Special waterproof wands are available for sub-sea applications, with depths of up to 10,000 feet [3000 meters].

SPY® offers two stationary Non-Intrusive Pig Tracking Systems (PTS & PTS-M) when the need for noting the passage of a pig becomes a little less temporary, (i.e.; manpower or distance prevents leap frogging). The model PTS for use with electromagnetic transmitters and the model PTS-M for use with magnet equipped pigs.
NON-INTRUSIVE The PTS & PTS-M Systems are both non-intrusive systems that require NO HOLE to be drilled in the pipe. These non-intrusive systems allow for lower installation costs and significantly reduce the overall cost of the monitoring point. This non-intrusive feature makes the PTS & PTS-M a more desirable option than intrusive systems from an installation, maintenance and corrosion prevention standpoint.
EASY MOUNTING The systems can be permanent or temporary and can be accomplished by using pipe straps or clamps. Units can be installed along the above ground line as often as is needed.
SAFETY It also offers safer monitoring. The systems are provided in explosion-proof Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, & D certified enclosures. The enclosures come complete with an “O” ring seal, which makes the housing NEMA 4X/7. When supplied by the factory as a complete system, proper explosion proof fittings are used and manufacturer specified procedures are followed to connect the units in order to maintain their rating.
MODULAR DESIGN The system was designed as a modular system and each section of the system can be sold separately allowing the user the flexibility of only buying and incorporating what is needed. Three quarter inch hubs are provided on each enclosure for conduit connection into your SCADA or recording system.
