Introduction
Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the finest, most advanced 
locating devices available today! When you choose a quality 3M™ Dynatel™ 
Advanced Pipe/Cable Locator 2220M, you get outstanding performance 
and reliability.
The 2220M locator with the 3-watt transmitter is an excellent instrument for 
tracing underground utilities. The 2220M provides one audio frequency for 
locating long sections of cable and one radio frequency for tracing pipes that 
may have high resistance insulators and rubber gaskets that are often found 
in water and gas distribution systems. The 2220M also provides three sonde 
locating frequencies.
The 2220M locator with the 12-watt transmitter* option offers additional power 
output levels for improved induction performance, 8K (low frequency) induction 
for shallow facilities, such as risers, and an ohm-meter function for measuring 
path resistance.
* Output Power up to 12 Watts for the 12 Watt Transmitter is achieved using the 
supplied external power source. 12 Watt Output Power varies by frequency, or is 
limited to 1 Watt at 82 kHz on the U-Model using direct connection method.
