EMS Caution Tape 7600 Series
3M has developed an effective way to locate the path of underground plastic pipes and conduits, eliminating
the need, problems and costs associated with tracer wire and test stations.
3M
™
Electronic Marking System Caution Tape uses a new EMS marker technology embedded into a caution
tape for installation near or above the buried facility and helps provide continuous path location. When
energized using a 3M
™
Dynatel
™
Locator 7000 Series (7420, 7550, 7573), the markers are activated.
The markers require no batteries, and there is no need to hook up an external transmitter or search for
access points. The markers work independently, so even if a section of caution tape is cut or removed, the
other markers on the tape would continue to provide accurate location. Each version of 3M
™
EMS Caution

up to 0.76 m.
