AML Oceanographic AML-3 User Manual page 8

The end of the instrument opposite the shackle houses the sensor payload which is
mechanically protected by a cage. The AML-3 utilizes a thread-on sensor cage, and the
AML-6 utilizes a bolted-on sensor cage. In some configurations the cage may be different
lengths depending on the sensors installed (AML-3 only) or made from a copper alloy to prevent
biofouling (AML-6 only). The default cage for both instruments uses stainless steel.
