    							3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS)
    Ball Markers
    The 3M™ Ball Marker makes the job of precisely locating underground facilities 
    easier. Other buried markers can be disturbed by backfill dirt or installed improperly 
    so they don’t stay positioned correctly. The 3M ball marker’s unique self-leveling 
    design ensures the marker is always in an accurate, horizontal position regardless of 
    how it is placed into the ground.
    The addition of the new 3M-iD markers provides additional functionality by 
    enabling  facility data to be stored in the marker to ensure positive identification of 
    facilities.  The pre-programmed unique serial number integrates with back office 
    mapping and GIS systems when used for mapping new and legacy assets and points 
    of special interest for construction and maintenance applications. 
    The ball marker is buried over key facilities during construction or 
    maintenance. Later, the marker is easily and accurately located using a 3M
    ™ 
    Dynatel
    ™ Locator. The locator transmits a signal to the buried marker. The 
    marker returns the signal to the locator, indicating the marker’s exact position. 
    The compact electronic locator gives both a visual reading and an audible tone.
