Yes, it complies with EN 12613 standards.
While designed for street lighting, its detection capabilities make it suitable for other buried services. However, always use tape specifically rated for the service being marked, check local regulations and product specifications.
The tape is typically buried directly above the utility service. The exact depth will depend on local installation practices and the depth of the service being marked.
The tape is 150mm wide and comes in a 5-meter length.
Ensure the locator is set to detect metallic tracers and is within the specified detection range. Verify the tape was installed correctly with tracer wires intact. Check locator settings and battery level.
Handle the tape with care to avoid tearing or stretching. If minor damage occurs, consider adding an extra layer or reinforcing the area. For significant damage, replace the section of tape.
Confirm the tape is oriented correctly for the locator. Soil conditions can affect signal strength; attempt to improve contact with the soil. Ensure there are no other nearby metallic objects interfering with the signal.
