The ball marker with an extended range of 1.5 m was specially developed for locating flush-mounted facilities that are hidden by embankments. It is attached to the underside of non-metallic flaps or covers above flush-mounted facilities. This self-aligning marker is used to clearly identify facilities. In addition, the iD version enables data to be written/read in/from the marker.
The orange EMS iD ball marker - telephone makes marking and subsequently locating underground telephone lines extremely easy. It can be located up to a maximum depth of 1.20 meters, is insensitive to minerals, chemicals and temperature changes and is therefore suitable for any type of soil. The free-floating design in a waterproof PE ball ensures that the marker always aligns itself exactly horizontally, regardless of the installation position. The liquid inside the ball is a mixture of water and propylene glycol, which is biodegradable and harmless to humans, fauna and flora. The electronic markers are considered the most reliable method of marking existing or newly installed facilities - even under snow. Their function is not affected by metal ducts or pipes, fences or high-voltage lines. The EMS iD markers are delivered with an individual, pre-programmed serial number. This serial number is also attached to the marker in the form of a removable, self-adhesive sticker with a barcode and can be stuck directly into the cable/site plan. When the ball marker receives the 'read' signal from a cable locator, it transmits the information previously stored in it. The iD markers can be programmed temporarily or permanently to store user-defined information such as cable or joint data, type of application or other important details. After this data has been read out by the locator, it can be transferred to a PC via a serial RS232 connection. These active iD ball markers are also compatible with older, passive markers.
