Product Manual

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
direction as it is tracked.
Once the left or right target indicator is
activated, keep that side still and rotate
the AML+ in parallel with the subsur-
face object. Both the left and right LED
target indicators will light simultaneous-
ly and an audio sound will emit when
the unit is in parallel and in alignment
with the object.

Locating an Object with the AML
Grip the AML+ by the handle with the
ngers rmly placed along the nger
knurls. Do not hold the unit above the
knurls as it will produce false readings.
Hold the handle parallel to the ground
at waist level and 18 to 24 inches out
in front of the body. The blade of the
unit is designed with a 10º degree
outward projection to help eliminate
false readings from interference with
the operator’s feet (see Figure 10-1).
When an object is detected, the left
and right LED target indicators will
illuminate, an audio tone will sound
and the laser indicator will activate
marking your target. Lower the
sensitivity level to the lowest setting
that will still identify the object. This will
prevent most irrelevant positives from
being identied. Continue to scan the
target using one of several methods:
1) Straight line scanning by following
one edge of the pipe.
2) Holding the unit level and scanning
the area with a slow and deliberate
back and forth “W” morning.
