Radiodetection OmniMarker MK2 Yellow | Gas RF Marker Ball | 83.0 kHz Detection
The OmniMarker MK2 (Gas) provides a technical solution for the permanent marking and identification of buried gas infrastructure. Specifically designed for gas distribution networks, these markers are essential for locating non-metallic assets such as plastic gas lines that lack tracer wires. By utilizing a passive internal coil, the marker provides a maintenance-free locating point for the entire service life of the buried asset.
Why is the 83.0 kHz frequency significant for gas utilities?
The 83.0 kHz frequency is the internationally recognized standard for marking gas utilities, ensuring that locating crews can accurately distinguish gas lines from other buried services. This frequency allows for precise detection even in areas with high utility congestion when using standard electronic marker locators.
How does the spherical field technology improve utility locating?
Unlike flat markers, the OmniMarker MK2 features a uniform spherical field that radiates in all directions, eliminating the need for precise orientation during installation. This design ensures that the self-leveling internal coil always provides a strong, clear signal for the locator, regardless of how the ball is positioned in the trench.
What are the installation benefits of these RF markers?
These markers are designed to be installed at critical infrastructure points such as valves, stubs, and main crossings to prevent accidental strikes during excavation. As passive devices, they require no batteries or external power sources, providing a high-reliability marking solution that is maintenance-free.
