When the locator is communicating with a GPS 

device, the LAT and LONG coordinates received from 

the device will appear on the marker locate display.

Step 1.  Locate a marker. (See 

4. D. Single Marker Locate.

)

Step 2.  Press 

Read

 [SK].

The information from the 3M™ iD Marker, as well as the GPS coordinates, will display 

on the locator display. This information is saved automatically in the Read Marker 

History. (

See

 

8.A. Reviewing Marker Read/Write History

.)

If the marker is a passive marker (rather than iD) the locator will display “No iD Marker 

Found”. The GPS coordinates of the attempt to read the non-iD marker are stored in 

the Read Marker History as serial number # 0000-0000-0000. The marker details will 

indicate “not an iD marker”, but will display the GPS coordinates.

C. Sending 3M iD Marker Data to GPS (Capture-Transmit Mode / Mode 2)

Menu [6] + COM Setup [SK:3] + GIS

3M Dynatel™ Electronic Marking System (EMS) Marker Locators that have marker 

locating capability (indicated by ‘iD’ in the model number) can be configured to send 

3M iD Marker data directly to some GPS devices. When an iD marker is located and 

read, the information read from the iD marker, with feature and attribute data, is sent 

to the GPS device and is stamped with latitude, longitude and date/time data. The data 

acquired during this logging process can be uploaded to GIS mapping software. For 

more information and detailed instructions pertaining to specific GPS devices, refer to 

www.3M.com/dynatel for GPS instruction sheet.

10. Help Mode

Menu[6] + >>More [SK:4] + Help [SK:8]

The help screen contains basic information about the locator and its operation. It is 

designed to be a quick reference guide.

•
