The Tempo EML250-ID Electronic RFID Marker Locator is engineered for professionals who need accurate, detailed underground utility data quickly and reliably.
The internal read/write capability allows the EML250-ID to read unique serial numbers and read and write custom information on Tempo OmniMarker-ID ball markers at distances up to 1.5 m (5 ft) and on Spike Marker-ID markers up to 1 m (3.3 ft), across all nine industry-standard frequencies. In addition to identifying RFID-enabled markers, the EML250-ID passively locates any standard marker ball.
Read and write actions are automatically recorded, ensuring clear data traceability. The Locator Link Mobile App allows fast file transfer to GIS systems or cloud-based storage. For even greater positional accuracy, the EML250-ID pairs with external GNSS devices to precisely map each marker's location.
