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 magniers - can
permanently damage the eye.
This is a professional tool, not

This unit contains a control circuit
board and an antenna circuit board
which directs the center transmitter
as well as independent left and right
signal receivers.
A powerful 2.45 Ghz radio frequency
locates density differences thru the
transmission and reception of UHF
signals.
The unit locates objects by analyzing
differences in material densities.
Objects or geometries create phase
differences in the return signal, which
are then interpreted by the highly
advanced circuitry.
HOW THE AML PRO WORKS
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 continu-
ing updates provided by the manufacturer. AML Pro additional
information can be accessed from your smart phone using a stan-
dard 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 web-
site at ssilocators.com.

1) EASY BATTERY ACCESS
The AML Pro is powered by either a convenient 9-volt battery
system (1), or by a rechargeable lithium battery pack (1a).
2) ERGONOMIC HANDLE
The ergonomically designed handle allows the operator to hold the
AML Pro for extended periods of time in all weather conditions.
3) CONTROL PANEL
There are six function buttons on the AML Pro control panel, these
buttons will provide you with the ability to navigate through the
Menu Screen, as well as having access to the many features on
your AML Pro Unit. Functions include: ON/OFF, TX (Transmitter),
MENU, DOWN ARROW, UP ARROW, SEL (Select).
4) RIGHT SIDE & LEFT SIDE TARGET INDICATORS
LED target indicators identify when an object has been located,
signifying that the object is parallel with the AML Pro. Digital target
indicators are displayed at the bottom of the main screen on
the LCD digital display and work in unison with the right and left
receivers to indicate an object’s presence, and to place its location.
5) DIGITAL BACKLIT DISPLAY
A high contrast, backlit digital display provides superior visibility in
both direct sunlight and dark environments.
6) LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE CONSTRUCTION
The electronic circuitry of this unit is housed in a tough, water-
resistant, high-impact ABS enclosure. This enclosure helps to
protect the sensitive electronic components. It does not protect the
unit from abuse or careless misuse. Treat this unit as a scientic
instrument. Keep it stored in the foam-insulated case when not in
use.
7) ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCY (UHF) RADIO TRANSMITTER
An UHF transmitter delivers the intensity of the UHF signal as it is
aimed at its intended target.
7
8) LASER TARGET INDICATOR
A red laser indicator identies the target position when an object
has been detected; and an audible signal is emitted.
9) ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCY (UHF) RADIO RECEIVERS
The receivers, capture the returning UHF reection with antennas
on both ends of the unit. Positioning the unit parallel to an object’s
edge will illuminate both LED lights, the laser target indicator, the
target indicators on the LCD Digital Display and activate an audio
signal. 10
- HEAD PHONE JACK-PORT
10) NOISE ISOLATING HEADPHONES
Lightweight headphones, with noise isolating qualities; soft, closed
cushions can be used as an option when in a noisy environment.
11) HEADPHONE JACK-PORT*
Insert headphone jack into the headphone port for operation in
noisy environments if necessary.
12) USB PORT*
The USB Port has several functions such as connecting the
optional external lithium battery supply to the USB Port for
extended power, and for uploading or downloading diagnostic
information, including GPS log les.
*Important:
ALWAYS turn the AML Pro OFF before connecting to the auxiliary
battery pack or the headphone port. Failure to do so, might result in
a frozen screen and malfunction of the Unit, in such case turn the
AML Pro off wait for 10 seconds and then turn it back on. Also, turn
the AML Pro off before the auto shutoff setting for low battery turns
the Unit off. The lithium battery pack will provide a minimum of 12 hours
of continuous usage before needing to be re-charged. There are several
USB ports on the battery pack that can be used to power additional
pieces of equipment all at the same time, such as a cellphone or any
other device that requires a USB power supply. The battery pack can be
placed in any suitable holder or simply carried in the operator’s pocket.
