The 3M Dynatel 2273M Bundle is a premium, integrated solution designed for professionals who need to accurately locate, trace, and identify buried utilities and pinpoint faults. This robust system combines the powerful 2273M Locator and the versatile 5250 Transmitter to provide a complete toolset for avoiding costly dig-ins, improving jobsite safety, and enhancing project efficiency.

Engineered for durability and ease of use, it is the go-to choice for utility contractors, municipal workers, and construction crews in demanding field environments.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Powerful & Versatile 2273M Locator:

• Multi-Function Operation: Functions as a high-performance inductive locator, a sensitive inductive probe (for close-proximity tracing), and a precise fault-finding tool.

• Active & Passive Modes: Actively trace a specific line with a signal from the transmitter, or use passive modes to detect power (50/60 Hz) and radio (RF) signals on unknown utilities.

• Dynamic Depth & Current Display: Provides real-time, on-screen depth estimates and current measurement (mA). This allows you to not only find the line but also identify it by signal strength and trace its path with confidence.

• Peak/Null Modes: Switch between peak (arrow) and null (dip) response modes to suit different locating conditions and user preference for the highest accuracy.

• Rugged, Ergonomic Design: Built to withstand harsh job sites with a weather-resistant, drop-tolerant housing. The intuitive interface and comfortable grip reduce user fatigue.

2. High-Output 5250 Transmitter:

• Multiple Coupling Methods:

  • Direct Connection: Connect directly to a known pipe or cable for the strongest, most precise signal.

  • Inductive Clamp: Couple a signal onto a specific line without a direct electrical connection—ideal for live power or communications cables.

  • Inductive Mode: Broadcast a signal from the transmitter placed over the ground to induce a signal onto buried utilities without any contact.

• High Power Output: Provides multiple power settings to push a clear signal through long distances, difficult soil conditions, or congested areas.

• Advanced Signal Patterns: Offers multiple frequencies (e.g., 512 Hz, 8 kHz, 33 kHz) to optimize the signal for different types of utilities and ground conditions.

3. Superior Fault-Finding Capability:

• The system excels at pinpointing faults in buried cables, such as sheath faults in jacketed power cables or shorts in direct-buried telephone lines.

• The A-Frame accessory (often included or available) works with the locator to provide a precise distance-to-fault reading, speeding up repairs and minimizing excavation.

What’s Included in the Bundle?
