OVERVIEW
The Next Evolution of Electronic Marker Locating The EML150 is a professional-grade electronic marker locator built for contractors, utility technicians, telecommunications professionals, municipalities, and infrastructure teams that need more than a basic marker locator. It provides a connected solution for locating, mapping, and documenting buried electronic markers, combining nine-frequency marker detection with Scan Mode, GPS-enabled marker records through Locator Link, external GNSS compatibility, and app-delivered software updates.
Designed for everyday field use, the EML150 features an easy-to-read color LCD screen, a replaceable rechargeable battery, and convenient USB-C charging with charger included.
Key Features
- Detects nine industry-standard marker frequencies
- Scan Mode simultaneously searches and identifies all enabled marker types
- Pin feature records GPS coordinates of marker locations
- Compatible with external GNSS receivers for high-accuracy location data
- Syncs marker location records to the Locator Link Mobile App
- Add photos and field notes to marker records in Locator Link before exporting to GIS
- App-delivered software updates
- Color LCD display
- Rechargeable battery
- USB-C charging
The EML150 gives utility professionals one connected tool for finding buried electronic markers and documenting exactly where they were found.
Locator Link App Features Map and Record Marker Locations Connect the EML150 to the Locator Link Mobile App to enable the Pin feature. Pinning a marker records its GPS coordinates and creates a marker location record in the EML150 that is immediately synced to Locator Link. Connect Locator Link to a compatible external GNSS receiver for high-accuracy location data.
Organize and Review Marker Records Marker records can be: Viewed in List or Map View Filtered by marker type or date Imported from an EML locator or from Locator Link on another mobile device Supplemented with notes and photos Export Marker Data Export saved marker records for sharing, documentation, or integration with GIS and other asset-management systems: File Format and Content KMZ: Marker data, coordinates, notes, and photos CSV: Marker data, coordinates, and notes JSON: Marker data, coordinates, and notes
Software Updates Locator Link provides software updates for the EML150, allowing software improvements and updates to be installed without replacing the locator.
