Full-Range Markers
The 3M
™
Full-Range Marker provides an accurate, convenient, long-lasting method
of marking underground facilities. Electronic marking saves time and money spent
searching for buried facilities prior to excavation. The marker also acts as a digging
shield over buried facilities, lessening the chances of damage. And, unlike surface
markers such as stakes, flags or paint, the full-range marker cannot be inadvertently
moved or worn away by weather.
The addition of the new 3M-iD markers provides additional functionality by
enabling facility data to be stored in the marker. The pre-programmed unique
serial number integrates with back office mapping and GIS systems when used for
mapping new and legacy assets and points of special interest for construction
and maintenance applications.
The full-range marker is buried over key facilities during construction or
maintenance. Later, the marker is easily and accurately located using a
3M
™
Dynatel
™
Locator. The locator transmits a signal to the buried marker.
The marker returns the signal to the locator, indicating the marker’s exact
position, while the locator provides both a visual reading and an audible tone.
