3M™ Dynatel™ Pipe/Cable Locator 2500 Serie\f
Designed to be more accurate, faster and more integrated than an\f other 
locator on the market, the 3\b
™ D\fnatel™ 2500 Series Locators and fault 
finders represent an advancement in locating and fault finding technolog\f 
for the field professional. Offering a broad feature set with advanced digital 
processing, the 2500 Series locators combine simple interfaces with precision 
locating capabilities.  All 2500 series locators offer six active frequencies and 
a maximum transmitter output of 12 watts providing a solution for virtuall\f 
all challenging applications encountered in the field. 
As with all 3\b
™ D\fnatel™ Locator products, the 2500 series provides 
accurate pipe, cable or Sonde depth measurements, giving a digital readout 
in feet and inches, or centimeters (user-selectable). Lightweight, compact 
and well-balanced, these cable and pipe locators allow \fou to accuratel\f and 
easil\f locate \four underground plant and assets. The 3\b
™ D\fnatel™ 2550-iD 
and 2573-iD have the additional capabilit\f to locate all standard electronic 
markers and to write, read and lock programmed information into 3\b
™ 
Electronic \barker S\fstem iD \barkers.  All 2500 series locators and fault 
finders are also compatible with select GPS/GIS field mapping instruments 
for real time mapping of electronic markers or pipe and cable facilities. 
Other user friendl\f features include the abilit\f to enable or disable receiver 
frequencies and the abilit\f to select audio sounds in the simple menu driven 
interface.
