3M™ EMS Path Marking Tape, is virtually a maintenance free solution for marking and locating the path of underground plastic pipes and conduits that helps eliminate the problems and costs associated with the tracer wire and test stations. 3M EMS marking tapes are embedded with markers that are activated using a 3M™ Dynatel™ Locators 7000 Series.
The challenges of locating and marking buried assets include limited visibility, complex terrain, congested underground systems and the risk of accidental damage. To provide you with efficient locating, it’s crucial to have a fast, easy and reliable system that provides accurate and consistent results. That’s where 3M™ Electronic Marking System (EMS) Caution Tape 7900 Series comes in. It helps alert users there is a risk of damage when digging near underground utility lines by providing visual verification powered by our EMS technology. 3M’s latest line of tapes helps to eliminate challenges and costs associated with tracer wire and test stations. For use in open trench applications, 3M EMS Caution Tape 7900 Series uses radio frequency (RF) path markers with unique frequencies to differentiate each utility. Each EMS marker works independently. If a section of path marking tape is cut or removed, the other markers on the tape will continue to provide an accurate location; does not require metallic continuity for locating. 3M EMS Caution Tape 7900 is fast to locate with no need for access points – helping to save your time and costs.
