Magnetic Locator Offers Durable One-Handed Operation That's 100% Waterproof
The ML-3 is a much-anticipated and welcome addition to the ML family of magnetic locators from SSI. ML-3 magnetic locators represent the best in innovation at work for the water/sewer industry, surveying industry and military. The ML-3 short is 40" to meet surveyors' personal preference, providing an ergonomic, lightweight, rugged, one-handed operation option to traditional magnetic locators. The ML-3 offers unparalleled durability, as all components are housed inside the aircraft-grade aluminum monotube units. The ML-3S is the only magnetic locator in the world that is 100% waterproof, IP68 certified up to 250 feet - a first for the industry - so it can be used in difficult weather and submerged under water. Its auto-zero feature allows the user to "cancel" ambient magnetics or magnetic gradient in the soil or water. Its digitally tuned, so it offers unparalleled accuracy in detecting ferromagnetic objects.
