Cable/Pipe Locator 2250M
and Cable/Pipe and Marker Locator 2250M-iD
incorporate advanced electronics to quickly and
efficiently 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
• Identify cable using toning
• Tone shorts and grounds in aerial cable
• Identify cable pairs through wet sections
• Locate energized power and CATV cable

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 stan-
dard RS232 serial port for enhanced resource management.
Designed to be more accurate, faster and more integrated, the new
locators can perform these additional functions:
• Pinpoint 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 2250M/2250M-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.

severaL unique modes of oPeration for aCCurate
LoCates in everY situation
For cable or pipe locating, 2250M/2250M-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.

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 auto-
matic gain and shows cable/pipe location and direction on a unique com-
pass-like graphic display.

Cable/Pipe Locators 2250M/2250M-iD 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 two 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-resolu-
tion 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.
The 2250M/2250M-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 offers four user-defin-
able auxiliary frequencies.
With the easy-to-use configuration tool, users can enable or disable any
of 22 frequencies. Both the receiver and the transmitter feature a self-test
routine that is executed each time the unit is turned on.
