Seals And Plugs - AML Oceanographic AML-6 RT User Manual

5. Push the sensor until it drops down into the port enough to allow the orange locking
sleeve threads to engage the port threads.
6. Screw down the orange locking sleeve until it stops. The bottom of the sleeve should be
within 1 mm of the instrument end cap.
Notes:
● X2Change™ sensors are identified by their orange locking sleeve matching AML-6's
orange sensor port.
● Older AML Xchange™ sensors with blue locking sleeves are not compatible with the
AML-6 line of instruments.
● CT X2Change™ should be installed in AML-6 port 1 due to the mechanical fit between
the sensor and the cage. All other X2Change™ sensors can be installed in any of the 6
sensor ports.
● A sensor riser may be required when installing a CT X2Change™ if other tall
X2Change™ sensors are installed nearby.

8.2 Seals and Plugs

Before deployment, ensure that every empty X2Change™ sensor port is sealed with the
X2Change™ Blanking Plug, the USB-C port is capped, and each MCBH is plugged with its
dummy plug or cable. Contact AML Support to replace lost plugs or caps.
