Subsurface Instruments AML Plus All Material Locators
Find Buried PVC/PE Pipes Using Advanced Ultra High Radio Frequency.
The All-New AML Plus™ is a scientific instrument that utilizes ultra-high radio frequencies to find differences in densities. This offers the best method for locating PVC & PE Pipes and nearly any other object that has an edge.
KEY FEATURES
- New Microprocessor Intelligence
- Patented Radio Wave Technology
- Lightweight Construction (2 lbs.)
- High-Quality Headphones
- Rechargeable Lithium Battery
LASER TARGET INDICATOR
An easy-to-see laser indicator highlights the located object's position on the ground when it has been detected.
USB PORT
Powerful USB flexibility allows users to export GPS coordinates, import the latest firmware updates, and connect to the auxiliary lithium battery source.
CARRYING CASE
The AML is a highly technical scientific instrument. To protect it, an impact-resistant and waterproof carrying case with a shock-absorbent foam housing protects your AML while in transit or on the job site.
LIGHTWEIGHT
The AML is constructed from lightweight, shock-resistant materials that make it easy to use and handle throughout the workday.
ERGONOMIC HANDLE
The AML PRO handle is designed to provide the user with a comfortable grip in any weather condition, ensuring an accurate reading when the fingers are placed along the knurls.
HEADPHONE JACK
A convenient headphone jack allows the user to listen to audio signals with premium noise-isolating headphones (included).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The key to how the AML detects PVC/PE pipes and identifying the size or length of a pipe is to understand how its radio frequency detects buried plastic and other 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.
With the AML parallel to the pipe or underground object, you can now scan the entire length of the object’s edge. Alternatively, 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.
