3M™ EMS Full-Range Markers provide an accurate, convenient, long-lasting method of marking
underground facilities. The marker has a range of up to eight feet (2.4 m) from marker to locator.
Full Range markers are ideally suited for marking the location of utilities buried at a deep distance (8
feet or 2.4 meters). Passive full range markers will provide accurate identification of buried water lines,
helping to reduce the risk of accidently excavating other buried facilities. All markers function without
the need for an external power source. Their water resistant polyethylene shells are impervious to
minerals, chemicals and the temperature extremes normally found underground. An iD version is
available which allows for the storage of customer specific information about the underground asset.
