TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS

TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS is a manufacturer of utility marking and locating equipment, as well as fiber optic test instruments. The company's product line includes utility marker balls designed for passive or active detection of buried pipelines, cables, and other underground infrastructure. These marker balls are constructed from polyethylene and are available in multiple frequency variants—77 kHz, 92 kHz, 121.6 kHz, and 169.8 kHz—each corresponding to a specific color code (black/orange, black/yellow, green, red) for visual identification of utility type. The balls are used to mark the location of non-metallic or metallic utilities, enabling maintenance crews to avoid accidental damage during excavation. TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS also produces underground utility locators, such as the model 551, which operates at 33 kHz and offers a maximum locating depth of 20 feet with an IP54-rated enclosure for dust and water resistance. The locator supports active testing modes for tracing energized or de-energized lines. In the fiber optic domain, TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS supplies stabilized light sources (models SLS525, SLS535, SLS536) for optical power meters. These sources are available in multi-mode (SLS525) and single-mode (SLS535, SLS536) variants, with connector options including FC, LC, and ST. The SLS525 includes an SC/PC adapter, while the single-mode models come with a carrying case. These instruments are used for loss testing and signal verification in fiber optic networks. 3G Electric stocks a range of TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS products, including marker balls, locators, and light sources, supporting global procurement for plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require reliable tools for underground utility mapping and fiber optic maintenance. The polyethylene marker balls are durable for long-term burial, and the locator's IP54 rating ensures operation in field conditions. The light sources are designed for compatibility with common fiber connectors, facilitating integration into existing test setups.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS from 3G Electric.

What frequencies are available for TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS utility marker balls?

TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS offers marker balls with transmitted frequencies of 77 kHz, 92 kHz, 121.6 kHz, and 169.8 kHz. Each frequency is paired with a specific color code: black/orange for 77 kHz, black/yellow for 92 kHz, green for 121.6 kHz, and red for 169.8 kHz. These frequencies are used for passive or active detection of buried utilities, allowing locators to identify the type of utility based on the ball's signal.

What is the maximum locating depth of the TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS underground utility locator model 551?

The TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS model 551 underground utility locator has a maximum locating depth of 20 feet. It operates at 33 kHz and features an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against limited dust ingress and water splashes. The locator supports active testing modes for tracing energized or de-energized lines, making it suitable for field use in utility mapping.

What connector types are available for TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS stabilized light sources?

TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS stabilized light sources are available with FC, LC, and ST connector types. The multi-mode model SLS525 includes an SC/PC adapter, while the single-mode models SLS535 and SLS536 come with a carrying case. These connectors allow compatibility with common fiber optic test setups for loss testing and signal verification.

Are TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS marker balls suitable for long-term burial?

Yes, TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS marker balls are made from polyethylene, a material resistant to corrosion and degradation in soil. They are designed for long-term burial to mark the location of underground utilities. The color coding and frequency transmission allow for identification and detection even after extended periods underground.

What is the difference between the multi-mode and single-mode TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS light sources?

The multi-mode light source model SLS525 is designed for multi-mode fiber testing, while the single-mode models SLS535 and SLS536 are for single-mode fiber. The SLS525 includes an SC/PC adapter, whereas the single-mode models include a carrying case. All models support FC, LC, and ST connectors, but the fiber mode determines the type of optical network they are used for.
