Marker Ball

The Hexatronic Optobit Marker Ball is used for marking and finding underground cables, ducts, manholes or other hidden infrastructure. The Maker Ball is ideal for marking key points in networks such as tees and valves, and placement in or alongside junction boxes that may be overgrown in time. Reduced ‘utility strikes’ in the future will outweigh the cost of the tiny investment for additional marking many times over. Should work be needed on your network in the future, quick and precise location will add to savings.

It use a passive electronic marker, copmatible with common detector systems. It is designed for marking the location of objects buried in the soil downto depths of 1.5–2.0 meters. The marker ball is available in different frequency reflections for most utilitiues including telecom, power, water, sewage, gas, CATV and general purpose applications such as cabling for traffic light control or district heating lines.

The marker ball is shaped as a sphere and has an internal self orientating RF reflector. This enables the marker ball to be droped and always aligning the RF reflector for best possible detection accuracy. The RF reflector is double encapsulated to provide long-lasting operation. The marker Ball doesn’t contain any harmful fluid. It can be mounted with a strap in the designed side holder (strap is an optional accessory).
