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.
