Self-Orientation Technology: The built-in self-orienting RF reflector automatically maintains the correct detection position underground, ensuring consistent signal performance and reliable locator readings.
Environmentally Safe Design: Contains no liquids or hazardous substances, eliminating the risk of soil or groundwater contamination.
Heavy-Duty Load Resistance: Engineered to withstand up to 400kg of localized pressure without cracking, deformation, leakage, or loss of performance.
1.5m Detection Depth: Provides accurate and reliable identification of underground telecom assets at depths of up to 1.5 meters.
Broad Locator Compatibility: Compatible with the ED8000 locator and other industry-standard utility locators operating at 101.4kHz, including the 3M Dynatel series.

The FCST Marker Ball is designed for direct burial or installation within underground telecom chambers, handholes, and utility pathways.
Installation Depth: For optimal detection performance, installation depth should not exceed 1.5 meters.
Clearance from Metallic Infrastructure: Maintain a minimum separation of 10cm between the marker ball and metallic ducts, pipes, or structures to minimize signal interference.
HDPE Microduct Networks: Ideal for HDPE microduct systems and other non-metallic telecom routes where traditional tracer wires are unavailable.
