LASER

This product uses a Class II/2M laser. Avoid direct exposure to
the beam.
Do not direct the laser beam at people or animals. Do not stare
into the laser beam. The AML Pro produces Laser Class II/2M
laser radiation according to IEC 60825-1.
Looking directly into the laser beam - especially with optical
instruments such as binoculars or magnifiers - can permanently
damage the eye.
This is a professional tool, not a toy. It should not be used by
children.

OPERATION

Only use this equipment for the purpose specified by the
manufacturer. Any misuse may void the warranty.

SAFETY INFORMATION

AML PRO SERIES

A powerful 2.45 Ghz radio frequency locates density
differences through the transmission and reception of UHF
signals.

The unit locates objects by analyzing differences in material
densities, which are then interpreted by the highly advanced
circuitry.

The signal can travel, on average, around 20’; but the
maximum depth is directly related to the type of substrate
you are working on.

USER REFERENCE - SCANNING QR CODES

The AML Pro has several QR Codes placed on the blade’s face. Scan these
codes for more operator information and for continuing updates provided by
the manufacturer. AML Pro additional information can be accessed from your
smart phone using a standard QR code App. For more information on how
to download and/or use a QR code App., visit the App. store on your smart
phone. Reference materials can also be accessed by visiting the SSI website
at www.ssilocators.com

USING THE AML PRO

18

The proper operation of the AML Pro requires
a lot of practice. We advise that you practice
on a known buried object like a culvert pipe
or other partially exposed objects. Once
the principles of operation are understood,
acquiring a technique is relatively simple with a
little practice. Factory training is available and
highly recommended.

The depth of the AML Pro transmission signal
varies with the type of soil. This unit can be
used in various material types such as water,
snow, red-clay, and does not have some of the
restrictions of ground penetrating (GPR) radar.

The AML Pro has 32 sensitivity settings with
setting 32 being the strongest. The transmission
signal will penetrate deeper through high density
materials such as concrete, clay, asphalt, or
highly compacted soil; and less deep in sand,
granular soil, or recently backfilled soil which
tends to absorb some of the return signal
strength

IMPORTANT: The AML Pro is water-resistant,
not water-proof.

Practice on a Known Object

Signal Penetrates Deeper Through High Density Materials

AML PRO SERIES

LOCATING AN OBJECT WITH THE AML

Do not hold the unit above the handle finger
knurls as it will produce false readings. Hold
the handle parallel to the ground at waist
level and at a minimum of 18 inches out in
front of your body. The blade face of the
unit is designed with a 10° degree outward
projection to eliminate interference with the
operator’s feet .

When an object is detected, the left LED or
the right LED will illuminate. When both LED
target indicators illuminate, an audio tone will
sound, and the laser indicator will activate
identifying the position of your target.

Lower the sensitivity level to the lowest
setting that will still identify the object; this
will prevent most false readings from being
identified.

Continue to scan the target holding the
handle parallel to the ground and scan the
area with a slow and deliberate back and
forth “W” movement.

MARKING THE EXACT LOCATION OF AN
OBJECT WITH THE AML PRO

Remember that the 10° forward projection of the
blade will make the object appear closer than it
actually is.

Once the object is found, pivot the handle of the
AML Pro upward until the screen displays 0°
and the blade of the unit is directly above the
area of the signal.

You can now scan the ground for the entire
length of the object. Identify its diameter or
width, location and run direction as you track the
object.

To prevent most false readings from being
identified, decrease the sensitivity level to the
lowest setting that will still identify the object.

Determining depth with the AML Pro

Triangulation Method

Once you have located the PVC pipe or
underground object:

• Find its center and mark its position on the
ground.

• Tilt the handle of the unit downward until the
blade is at 45°.

• Walk backwards until you find the top of
the pipe, “make sure you found the pipe by
scanning its edge 3’ to the left or right of
your position”.

• Make a mark where the laser indicator is
located on the ground.

• Measure the distance between both of
the marked points, this will be the depth at
where the PVC pipe is located.

RECORDING GPS COORDINATES WITH THE AML PRO

The AML Pro has a GPS tracking system that is active as soon
as you turn ON your unit. It is only able to acquire public
GPS satellites when you are using the All Materials Locator
outdoors.

Press the SEL button to activate the GPS display on the screen. At the

beginning, it will show zeros in the location coordinates. When the unit
locks at least 3 satellites, it will show coordinates on the display.

The accuracy of the coordinates will increase with a higher number

of satellites. Is recommended to lock at least 7 satellites; the amount
of satellites that you’ll have access to, depends on your location. The
screen will show the number of satellites on the message status area for
10 seconds and will also, display your current GPS coordinates on the
left side of the screen.

Press the “SEL” button every time you want to record a GPS coordinate

to the AML Pro’s memory; if the message “NO LOCK” is displayed, you
don’t have enough satellites and must wait to acquire more satellites to
continue the process.

Up to 300 logs can be recorded in the AML Pro’s internal
memory, the system will show a FULL message when that
number has been reached and you’ll need to transfer the data
to your computer to continue recording.
