Operator’s Manual

To learn how to properly operate

your AML unit, view the complete

DVD included. All operating

procedures are demonstrated in

actual use in the ﬁeld.

Free factory training is available

and recommended. See

www.ssilocators.com for details.

Additional copies of the training

DVDs can be ordered through SSI.

Call 855.422.6346 to order.

Note: Read the Safety Notes

section (page 12) before operating

your AML unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FCC

This equipment has been tested and

found to comply with the

limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference

when the equipment is operated

in a commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the

operator’s manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference

in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference

at his own expense.

IC (Industrie Canada)

Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

1) This device may not cause

interference, and

2) This device must accept

any interference, including

interference that may cause

undesired operation of

the device.

FCC/IC/CE STATEMENTS

CE Approved

(European Countries)

The protection provided by this

equipment may be impaired

if used in a manner other

than that speciﬁed within this

manual or training video.

There are no components that

should be or can be changed

by the user of the AML except

for the batteries within the bat-

tery pack.

Because this is a self-

contained sealed unit, any

problems or concerns should

be addressed with the

manufacturer and/or returned

at the recommendation of the

manufacturer.

QUICK START GUIDE

1 - EASY BATTERY ACCESS

job usage between battery changes.

2 - ERGONOMIC HANDLE

Ergonomic handle provides a ﬁrm grip in any weather condition.

3 - POWER & 4-POSITION SENSITIVITY SWITCH

This switch controls the unit’s power supply and sensitivity. Once the unit is on,

the operator can choose the appropriate sensitivity setting depending on each job’s

conditions.

4 - RIGHT SIDE & LEFT SIDE TARGET INDICATORS

Easy to read left and right LED target indicators identify when an object has been

located, and when the object is in parallel with the AML. Audio and laser target

indicators work in unison with the right and left LEDs to alert the operator of an

object’s presence, and to place its location.

5 - LED POWER INDICATOR

The power indicator emits a bright green LED light when the unit is on. This LED also

serves as the battery life indicator, and ﬂashes when battery power is low.

6 - LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE CONSTRUCTION

The brightly colored AML is constructed from lightweight, shock-resistant materials that

make it easy to use and handle throughout the work day.

7 - GROUND-PENETRATING, ULTRA-HIGH RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMITTER

Using advanced circuit board technology, a powerful 2.4 GHz ground-penetrating, ultra-

high frequency locates objects. Man-made objects or conditions with a straight edge

create a change in conductivity, density and/or permeability from surrounding materials,

causing a reﬂection or refraction that is detected by the AML.

8 - LASER TARGET INDICATOR

An easy-to-see laser indicator marks the target position on the ground when an object

has been detected.

9 - ULTRA-HIGH RADIO FREQUENCY RECEIVERS

Highly sensitive left and right side receivers intercept frequency reﬂections and

refractions set off by the edges of buried objects. When the unit is positioned over and

parallel to an object, both the left and right indicators are activated. The user can then

track the object in slow and deliberate movements, identifying its shape, location and

run direction.

With the AML in parallel with the pipe or

underground object, you can now scan the entire

length of the object’s edge. As an alternative, utilize

the “W” method of scanning by sweeping the area

in a back-and-forth “W” motion, marking the object’s

location and run direction as it is tracked.

USING THE AML

UNDERSTANDING

ULTRA-HIGH RADIO

FREQUENCIES

The key to how the AML

works is to understand

how its ground-penetrating

radio frequency detects

objects. Holding the AML’s handle parallel to the ground,

scan the area of the suspected pipe or buried object

until one or both of the AML’s target indicators

activate.

While the left or right target indicator is activated,

rotate the AML until both LED target indicators light

simultaneously, triggering the AML’s tone and laser

marker. This alert indicates that the pipe or object

has been detected and that the AML is now parallel

with the underground object.

Safe Maintenance & Inspection

of the AML – DO NOT open the

housing as this is for maintenance

or inspection and this will impair

the transmission and receiving

antennae. There are NO user

serviceable parts inside. Doing so

will void the warranty.

If maintenance or tuning is

required, contact SubSurface
