- Locates cable path
- Push button depth estimation of cable/pipe or sonde
- Measures signal current in the cable/pipe
- Identifies cable using toning function
- Locates energized power cable with direct readout of cable depth
- Locate, read and write to 3M iD markers
- Pinpoint the exact depth and location of all buried EMS markers
- Locate two different marker types simultaneously
2273/2273M-iD
The 3M™ Dynatel™ Advanced Cable/Fault Locator 2273 is designed to find the path and estimated depth of buried cables and pipes and the ability to find underground faults. The 2273 is a microprocessor-based system that incorporates advanced digital signal processing techniques to quickly and efficiently locate sheath (earth return) faults and trace the path of underground cables, both copper and fiber optic (with metallic trace wire). Lightweight, compact and well-balanced, the 2273 accurately:
- Locates cable path
- Push button depth estimation of cable/pipe or sonde
- Measures signal current in the cable/pipe
- Identifies cable using toning function
- Passive locate of power cables
- Pinpoints sheath or ground faults and cable breaks
- Discriminates between light and heavy faults

NEW 3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS) Caution Tape 7900XT Series
3M™ EMS Warning Tape 7900XT Series is virtually a maintenance free solution for marking and locating the path of underground utilities and help to eliminate the problems and costs associated with the tracer wire and test stations. The embedded markers are compatible with 3M™ Dynatel™ Locators 7000 series. The 7900-XT EMS Tape uses a highstrength core material for an early warning during the excavation.
- Easy to install and locate, suitable in open trench applications
- Core materials inside allow for early warning for excavators digging nearby
- Available with Markers and/or core materials in 6 frequencies for all utility types
- Markers do not require an external power source or connection to a transmitter
- Markers work independently, so even if a section of tape is cut or removed, the other markers on the tape continue to provide an accurate location
3M™ (EMS) Marker Range – Marker Balls
As communities grow, so do their underground assets. It becomes increasingly important to quickly and accurately identify exactly what is buried underground and where. The 3M Electronic Marker System (EMS) delivers more information to accelerate identification and help avoid costly mistakes.
3M™ Ball Marker.
Engineered for narrow trench applications up to 5′ in depth, the 4″-diameter ball marker has a unique, patented self-leveling feature that ensures an accurate, horizontal position regardless of how it is placed in the ground.(Contains a mixture of propylene glycol and water which is approved for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and as a food additive. The mixture is readily biodegradable and will not harm humans, wildlife or the environment.)
3M™ (EMS) Marker Range – Near Surface Markers
3M™ Near -Surface Marker.
The near-surface marker is ideal for marking underground and street-access facilities up to 2′ in depth. Its 3.5″ long cylindrical size and shape allows for easy installation in asphalt, concrete or rock without extensive digging or drilling.
3M™ (EMS) Marker Range – Mini Markers
3M™ Mini Marker.
Designed for marking applications at depths up to 6′, marker spokes in the 8.25″ diameter mini-marker help stabilize it in the correct position after placement.
3M™ (EMS) Marker Range – Full Range Markers
3M™ Full Range Marker.
The full-range marker is suited for deep applications up to 8′. Its 15″-diameter makes it ideal for use as a digging shield over sensitive underground facilities.
