Product Description: 3M Dynatel Locator 2273

The 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 is a highly advanced and versatile underground utility locator. It is equipped with a range of features that make it an essential tool for locating and identifying underground utilities.

One of the key features of the 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 is its ability to operate on four active frequencies. This allows for precise and accurate locating of underground utilities, even in challenging environments. Additionally, the locator also supports passive frequencies for power, cathodic protection systems, and CATV, further enhancing its utility locating capabilities.

Another notable feature of the 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 is its auxiliary frequencies for long-distance locating from remote transmitters. This feature enables users to locate utilities over extended distances, making it ideal for large-scale utility mapping and infrastructure projects.

The 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 also offers direct readout of active duct probe (sonde), allowing for efficient and accurate identification of specific cables or pairs. This feature is particularly useful in situations where precise cable or pair identification is required.

In addition to its advanced locating capabilities, the 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 incorporates an expander function in its receivers. This function enhances the visibility of peaks and nulls, making them more pronounced and easier to interpret. This ensures that users can quickly and accurately identify the location and characteristics of underground utilities.

Building upon the capabilities of its predecessor, the 2250 locator, the 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 also includes the ability to find underground faults. This feature further expands its utility in fault detection and repair, making it an indispensable tool for utility maintenance and repair teams.

With its comprehensive range of features and advanced functionality, the 3M Dynatel Locator 2273 is a reliable and efficient solution for locating and identifying underground utilities, as well as detecting faults. It is a valuable asset for utility companies, contractors, and professionals involved in utility mapping, maintenance, and repair.
