SubSurface Instruments AML PRO Operator's Manual page 23

Locating an Object with the AML
Grip the AML Pro by the handle with
the fingers firmly placed along the
finger 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 12 to
24 inches out in front of your body.
The blade face of the unit is designed
with a 10º degree outward projection
to help eliminate false readings from
interference with the operator's feet
(s
ee Figure 23-1).
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 irrelevant
positives from being identified.
Continue to scan the target using one
of several methods:
1) Straight line scanning by following
one edge of the pipe.
2) Hold the handle parallel to the
ground and scan the area with a slow
and deliberate back and forth "W"
movement.
Note: See the blade face of the AML
Pro to find QR Codes which reference
additional user instructions and videos.
Scan to view
training videos.
Once the left or right target indicator
is activated, keep that side still and
rotate the AML Pro in parallel with the
object. When both LED target indica-
tors light simultaneously, the digital
target indicator on the screen will meet
at the middle line, a red laser light will
identify the objects location and an
audio sound will emit signifying that the
unit is in parallel and in alignment with
the object.
With the AML Pro in parallel with the
pipe or 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, width and direction as
it is tracked.
