TEMPO EML-100 Marker-Mate Electronic Locator for Buried Utility Markers, 9-Frequency

PASSIVELY LOCATES ALL 9 INDUSTRY-STANDARD UTILITY MARKERS: Detects every Tempo OmniMarker II, UniMarker, and third-party marker ball buried up to 5 feet deep, across all nine application frequencies — Water (145.7 kHz), Non-Potable (66.4 kHz), Gas (83 kHz), Fiber Optic (92 kHz), Telephone (101.4 kHz), Sanitary (121.6 kHz), Cable TV (77 kHz), Power (169.8 kHz), and Europower (134 kHz). Find what is below before you dig — water mains, gas, fiber, telecom, sewer, electrical conduit.

SCAN MODE + ADJUSTABLE PINPOINT THRESHOLD FOR PRECISION LOCATING: Auto Scan Mode sweeps all nine frequencies simultaneously and identifies exactly which utility type is below the antenna — no manual frequency selection required. Switch to Single Frequency Mode with user-adjustable detection threshold to pinpoint the marker within inches. Patented digital signal processor (US Patents #7095231 and #7170411) delivers higher accuracy than competitor locators in the same price tier.

BAR-GRAPH, NUMERIC, AND AUDIBLE SIGNAL INDICATORS — READABLE IN ANY LIGHT: Large-character LCD stays readable in bright direct sun, low-light trenches, and overcast conditions. Three independent signal-strength indicators — analog bar graph, large numeric value, and audible tone — let you locate by eye or by ear. Built-in headphone jack for discreet use on noisy job sites. Adjustable speaker volume, battery level indicator, and low-battery warning so you never get caught powerless mid-locate.

20-HOUR BATTERY LIFE WITH FIELD-REPLACEABLE BATTERIES — NO RECHARGE DOWNTIME: Up to 20 hours of typical operation per battery set — double the runtime of competing rechargeable locators. Swap batteries in seconds with no charger, no cable, no waiting. Adjustable auto-timeout extends battery life further on long shifts. Weather-resistant rugged construction stands up to mud, rain, and dust. Operating range -4°F to 122°F. Lightweight 4.5 lb handheld design reduces fatigue on long locate days.
