!WARNING

This WARNING applies to the use of the Direct Connect Cables and the Transmitter.

To avoid potential shock, or electrically damaging the Transmitter, when setting up the Transmitter to locate using the Direct Connect method, follow these basic steps;

•ALWAYS plug the Direct Connect Cable into the Transmitter Output Jack [T-6] BEFORE connecting the leads to the cable/pipe to be located and the ground rod.

–Connect the red lead to the cable/pipe.

–Connect the black lead to ground rod.

A POTENTIAL FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND/OR TRANSMITTER ELECTRICAL DAMAGE, EXISTS WHEN USING THE DIRECT CONNECT CABLE ON CABLES ENERGIZED WITH ELECTRICAL POWER IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED. USE APPROPRIATE SAFETY PROCEDURES.

CHECK VOLTAGE BEFORE CONNECTING TRANSMITTER. VOLTAGE HIGHER THAN 240 VOLTS WILL DAMAGE EQUIPMENT. FOLLOW STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR REDUCING THE VOLTAGE.

2. About This Manual

There are two basic models included in the 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator 2200M Series. The 2250M locator is designed for cable/pipe locating. The 2273M locator is designed for cable/pipe and fault locating. The iD option (read/write capability to 3MTM iD Markers) is available for both models. There are three transmitter options: 3 Watt, 5 Watt, or 12 Watt. This instruction manual will include all features. All instructions are applicable to all products, unless noted.

The 12-watt transmitter option offers additional power output levels for improved induction performance and 8 kHz (low frequency) induction for shallow facilities, such as risers. Output Power up to 12 Watts for the 12-watt transmitter is achieved using the supplied external power source. The maximum output power in Direct Connect method is reduced to below FCC limits. (FCC limits: 1 Watt at 200 kHz and 10 Watts at 33 kHz)

In order to demonstrate all available functions, the illustrations depict the 2273M-iD receiver unit and the 2250 and 2273 12-watt transmitters. The 2250M receiver may vary from the illustrations shown.
