Subsurface Instruments ML-1 Offers

The Subsurface ML series offers a simple one-handed operation with an easy to use three-button keypad. Both locators have the same keypad features: an on /off key with audio and gain up or gain down keys, but the ML-1M additionally features an LCD window with visual cueing. The Subsurface ML-1M LCD bar graph display provides visual signal strength, polarity indication, gain setting, and battery life. In addition, both magnetic locators' microprocessor stores the volume and gain settings before being turned off and will automatically adjust to those settings when turned back on.

The detection of ferrous objects is not a problem for this magnetic locator. It can locate a handgun buried 1' to 2' underground, a 175 mm projectile 4' to 5' underground, and a water shutoff valve 6' to 10' underground. The Subsurface utility locator's monotube construction from aircraft grade aluminum and electronic compartment ABS-injected molded plastic provide the best structural integrity. The 39" long tube is lightweight (2 lb), easy to carry in the padded carrying case, and comes with a 7-year warranty.

This magnetic locator is proudly made in the USA and is operated by two 9 V batteries with a battery life of about 40 hours. The batteries are housed in a custom molded compartment that is separate from the electronic components and circuit board on the bottom of the control box.
