Locate, identify, map and document buried utility markers with the Tempo EML150 Professional-Grade Electronic Marker Locator.
Designed for utility locating and maintenance professionals, the EML150 combines advanced electronic marker locating with Tempo's Locator Link Mobile App, giving technicians a more intuitive and organised way to locate buried markers and build a digital record of their locations in the field.
The EML150 detects nine industry-standard electronic marker frequencies, making it suitable for locating markers used to identify underground utilities and infrastructure. Technicians can search for an individual marker frequency or use Scan Mode to search all enabled marker types simultaneously. When a marker is detected, the EML150 automatically identifies the marker type, giving high-confidence identification of the buried utility below.
Locate and document buried utility markers
With the EML150's Pin feature, technicians can geo-tag electronic markers and build a digital record of their locations that automatically syncs to the Locator Link Mobile App. Within Locator Link, users can:
- capture GPS coordinates
- connect to external GNSS receivers for high-accuracy location data
- view and organise marker locations
- add photos and field notes
- export location data for use with GIS and asset-management systems
Find it. Pin it. Document it.
Key features

Organise and review marker records
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. 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:
- KMZ: marker data, coordinates, notes and photos
- CSV: marker data, coordinates and notes
- JSON: marker data, coordinates and notes
Locator Link provides software updates for the EML150, allowing software improvements and updates to be installed without replacing the locator.
