3M Dynatel 2273M Cable Pipe Fault Locator

3M DYNATEL LOCATORS
M SERIES
CABLE/PIPE/FAULT LOCATOR 2273M

For cable/pipe locating, the Dynatel M series has 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. They come equipped with several built-in features that allow accurate cable and pipe locating:
 

• Locate cable and pipe path
• Measure cable/pipe or Sonde depth
• Measure signal current in the cable or pipe
• Identify cable and cable pairs
• Tone shorts and grounds in aerial cable
• Locate energized power cable

The receiver includes a unique expander function that makes peaks and nulls more pronounced for fast tracking and pinpointing of position.

The unique Directional Peak mode combines the response from four peak antennas to indicate left/center/right direction to the cable/pipe while the bar graph and numeric display indicate the sharp and accurate dual-peak response.

Semi-automatic gain set with manual fine tuning provides maximum flexibility and control. The multi-directional null mode shows null signal response with automatic gain and utilizes the multiple antenna design to show cable/pipe location and direction on a unique compass-like graphic user interface on the high-resolution display.

For fault locating, the Dynatel locator 2273M performs all the functions of the 2250M plus the ability to find underground faults.

Several unique modes of operation for accurate locates in every situation.
For cable path locating, the 3M Dynatel Cable/Pipe and Fault 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.

The receiver includes a unique "expander" function that makes peaks and nulls more pronounced. The expander feature enhances the response for fast tracking and pin-pointing of position. The unique Directional Peak mode combines the response from four peak antennas to indicate left/center/right direction to the cable/pipe while the bar graph and numeric display indicate the sharp and accurate dual-peak response. Automatic gain set with manual override provides maximum flexibility and control. The multi-directional null mode shows null signal response with automatic gain and utilizes the multiple antenna design to show cable/pipe location and direction on a unique compass like graphic user interface on the high-resolution display.

Precise location of sheath (earth return) faults.
The 3M Dynatel 2273M and Fault Locators can precisely locate conductor or sheath (earth return) faults on both short and long cable sections faster than ever before. 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. Fault strength is indicated on the receiver liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, allowing minor faults to be ignored, if desired. Up to three fault readings may be stored for quick reference.

A simple, easy-to-use system. Lightweight and easy to operate, the 3M Dynatel Cable/Pipe and Fault Locators are rugged, ergonomic and require very little operator training. A large backlit digital LCD screen and soft-key operation make them easy to understand for more precise locates. A memory feature remembers operator set-up from previous use. An RS232 communications port allows interfacing to an external computer for uploading/downloading of data, unit configuration and remote software upgrades. The system can run over 30 hours on eight AA alkaline batteries.

The system consists of three basic components:

• Transmitter with built-in ohmmeter, which also senses and measures the presence of foreign voltage and tests the continuity of the circuit
• Rugged, one-piece hand-held receiver with bar graph signal strength and direction, that indicates received signal and proximity to the cable; ID versions locate all 3M EMS Markers and read/write to all 3M EMS-iD Markers
• Lightweight earth contact frame that is color-coded to correspond with indications from the receiver directing the operator toward the fault

The 3M Dynatel Cable/Pipe and Fault Locators use four active trace frequencies 577Hz, 8kHz, 33kHz and 200kHz which can be used individually or simultaneously to compensate for varying field conditions. The receiver incorporates passive power and auxiliary frequencies that do not require the use of the transmitter. The receiver also has the unique capability to accommodate four user-definable auxiliary frequencies and allows the user to perform a self-calibration operation at any frequency at any time. In total, the receiver accommodates 23 frequencies. With the easy-to-use configuration tool, users can enable or disable any frequency to select only the frequencies that they need to use.

Both the receiver and the transmitter feature a self-test routine that is executed each time the unit is turned on. A power-up battery test indicates the battery level. Both components are constructed of heavy-duty materials designed to withstand typical field use.
