    The 3M™ Dynatel™ Cable/Pipe and Fault Locator 
    2273M and Cable/Pipe, Fault and Marker 
    Locator 2273M-iD incorporate advanced 
    electronics to quickly and efficiently locate 
    conductor or sheath (earth return) faults and 
    trace the path of underground cables and pipes 
    (with metallic tracer wire). 
    They provide accurate cable/pipe, or Sonde depth 
    measurements, giving a digital readout in inches, 
    feet and inches, or centimeters (user-selectable). 
    Lightweight, compact and well balanced, these 
    cable and pipe locators allow you to accurately 
    and easily:
     • Locate cable and pipe path
      • Measure cable/pipe, or Sonde depth with the push of a button
      • Display relative signal current in the cable or pipe
      • Pin-point conductor or sheath (earth return) faults and cable breaks
      • Discriminate between light and heavy faults
      • Identify cable using toning
      • Tone shorts and grounds in aerial cable
      • Identify cable pairs through wet sections
      • Locate energized power and CATV cable

    A feature exclusive to the 3M™ Dynatel™ Cable/Pipe, Fault and Marker 
    Locator 2273M-iD is the ability to write, read and lock programmed  
    information into the 3M™ Electronic Marker System iD Ball Markers 1400 Series. 
    Information such as a pre-programmed unique identification number, facility 
    data, owner information, application type, placement date and other details 
    from up to 100 markers can all be stored with date/time stamp, and GPS 
    coordinates*, and transmitted back to your PC through a standard RS232 
    serial port for enhanced resource management. 
    Designed to be more accurate, faster and more integrated, the new  
    locators can perform these additional functions:
      •   Pin-point the location and estimate the depth of all existing 
       
     models of properly installed underground passive EMS markers
      • Conduct direct depth reading of RFiD markers
      • Locate two different marker frequencies simultaneously
      •  
    Trace a cable or pipe path while simultaneously finding buried 
    markers along the way

    The 2273M/2273M-iD locators are now compatible with select GPS/GIS 
    field mapping instruments for real-time mapping of marker placement. The 
    customized Dynatel interface remotely commands the GPS/GIS device 
    allowing even a generalist field technician to perform real-time mapping. 
    Exporting information directly into leading CAD and GIS systems creates an 
    automated paperless system for records updating.

    For cable or pipe locating, 2273M/2273M-iD locators have a highly accurate 
    multi-antenna design for various user-selected locating modes—Directional 
    Peak,  Multi-Directional  Null,  plus  an ultra-sensitive Special Peak mode for 
    extreme depths.
    telephonegascatv/communicationpowerwaterwastewatergeneral
    3 
    						
    							
    A unique “expander” function makes peaks and nulls more pronounced. 
    Directional Peak mode combines the response from four peak antennas  
    to indicate direction to the cable/pipe while a bar graph and numeric display 
    indicate the sharp and accurate dual-peak response. 
    Semi-automatic gain set with  manual  override  provides  maximum  flexibility 
    and  control. Multi-directional null mode shows null signal response with 
    automatic gain and shows cable/pipe location and direction on a unique 
    compass–like graphic display.
    * When connected to standard NMEA compliant GPS devices.

    The 3M™ Dynatel™ Cable/Pipe and Fault Locators 2273M/2273M-iD can  
    precisely locate conductor or sheath (earth return) faults on both short and 
    long cable sections  faster  than  ever.  The  transmitter  unit  sends  a  trace 
    signal simultaneously with a fault-locate signal, allowing the operator to use 
    the cable-locate function when locating faults in long cable sections. Two fault  
    readings may be stored at a time for quick reference.

    The new locators require very little operator training. An RS232 communications 
    port allows interface to an external computer for uploading/downloading of 
    data, unit configuration and remote software upgrades. Estimated operating 
    time is more than 30 hours on eight AA alkaline batteries. 
    The system consists of three basic components:
      •  Transmitter with built-in ohmmeter, which also measures the presence 
    of foreign voltage and tests the continuity of the circuit.
      •  Rugged, one-piece hand-held receiver with large high-resolution  
    LCD display. Bar graph signal strength and direction indicates 
    received signal and proximity to the cable. M-iD versions locate and 
    read/write to all EMS-RFiD markers.
      •  Lightweight earth contact frame that is color-coded to correspond 
    with indications from the receiver directing the operator toward the fault.
    The 2273M/2273M-iD locators use four active trace frequencies (individually 
    or simultaneously) to compensate for varying field conditions. The receiver 
    incorporates passive power CATV and auxiliary frequencies that do not require 
    the use of the transmitter.

    The receiver also accommodates four user-definable auxiliary frequencies and 
    allows the user to perform a self-calibration operation at any frequency at any 
    time. With the easy-to-use configuration tool, users can enable or disable 
    any of 22 frequencies.
