3M Dynatel 2273 Pipe / Cable / Fault Locator

The 3M Dynatel 2273 is a pipe, cable and fault locator with four active trace settings designed for use both individually or jointly to adapt to field conditions. This Dynatel pipe locator features a microprocessor-based system that utilizes advanced digital signal processing to swiftly and efficiently determine the location of sheath faults and trace the paths of both fiber optic and copper underground cables. With the press of a button, users can measure cable or sonde depth, the cable’s signal current, the location of cable breaks, and whether faults are light or heavy. The four active frequencies available with this device are as follows: cathodic protection, CATV, passive frequencies for power, and auxiliary frequencies for long-distance locating from remote transmitters. This model also allows for the toning of aerial cables, direct readout from active duct probes, and cable/pair identification.
