Radiodetection OmniMarker MK2 | Cable TV RF Marker Balls | 77.0 kHz
The Radiodetection OmniMarker MK2 (CATV) is a high-performance passive electronic marker specifically engineered for the telecommunications and cable television industries. Utilizing a large-diameter coil and a self-leveling mechanism, these markers provide a consistent record of burial locations for splices, conduits, and service drops, remaining detectable for decades without the need for tracer wires or external power.
What frequency does the CATV OmniMarker MK2 operate at?
The CATV variant is precision-tuned to the industry-standard frequency of 77.0 kHz, which is color-coded Black and Orange to prevent cross-network interference during location tasks.
Why is the liquid-free design important for underground marking?
The liquid-free design ensures environmental safety by preventing soil contamination and eliminates the risk of shell leakage, maintaining signal integrity for the entire lifespan of the buried asset.
How does the self-leveling feature improve detection accuracy?
The internal self-leveling coil automatically maintains a horizontal orientation regardless of how the ball is dropped into the trench, creating a uniform spherical signal field that allows for precise surface detection.
