Tempo SM18 Spike Marker – Blue 145 kHz (Water)
Tempo SM18 Description
Save hours of unnecessary digging and reduce costly utility strikes by marking the location of underground utilities with Spike Marker by Tempo. Spike Markers are designed to pinpoint objects buried in soil to at least one meter (3.3 ft) deep. Particularly useful with utilities’ “distribution” ducts and similar applications such as cable TV drops, fiber drops, traffic light control cables, or power, gas, and district heating lines to properties. The smaller size and diameter of the Spike Marker are ideal for shallow, narrow ducts where the Tempo OmniMarker II is impractical. Being compact, the Spike Marker is also ideal for placing alongside or inside smaller enclosures enabling easy relocation when they become overgrown. Made of high-density polyethylene, the Spike Marker has a lifetime comparable to the equipment they are buried alongside. Spike Markers are compatible with virtually all marker locators, including the EML-100 from Tempo, and are available with all industry-standard frequencies and color combinations.

Tempo SM18 Features
- Precisely Located Up To 3.3 ft. Deep – The Spike Marker provides a strong field that is easy to detect years later, with a signal peak directly above the marker for precise location within inches.
- Compatible with All Marker Locators – Because Spike Marker uses industry standard frequencies, they will work with any electronic marker locating devices.
- Compact and Easy to Install – The Spike Marker is less than 20mm diameter meaning you can “fit almost anywhere”. Attach the marker to the duct or service and backfill. The coil will give a precision location directly above.
- Compact, with No Hazardous Chemicals – The Spike Marker contains no potentially hazardous chemicals. This eliminates the need for material safety data sheets. Plus, the Spike Marker’s durable, compact design keeps your shipping and storage costs low while giving you years of reliable service.
- Passive, High Reliability Design Assures – Many Years of Service the Spike Marker contains no batteries or active components, and is built using highreliability, long life materials ensuring these markers last as long as your buried plant.
