Magnetic Locators
ML-1 - All-inclusive magnetic locator with simple, one-handed operation.
The ML-1 is one of SSI's longest-enduring and popular products for magnetic detection. Whether you're seeking corner markers (iron or steel), well casings, steel drums or septic tank handles, this is the go-to magnetic locator for you. And for good reason. The ML series offers simple one-handed operation with an easy-to-learn keypad featuring only three buttons - no menus or cumbersome instructions to follow. The audio unit has the volume built into the on/off key; just hold down the key while it cycles through the settings. The ML-1 features strong monotube construction, providing structural integrity you can count on.
Key Features
-
Easy and simple one-hand operation; built-in handle
-
Easy to learn; 3 keypad switches: on/off and volume, sensitivity up and sensitivity down
-
Volume built into the on/off key; just hold down the key while it cycles through the settings
-
The electronic keypad "clicks" when a key is depressed. A "real" speaker is in the front panel, providing outstanding volume.
-
Microprocessor remembers the volume and gain settings from the last time the unit was on Non-metered (ML-1) and metered (ML-1M) versions are designed to look, feel and operate the same
-
Strong aluminum monotube construction from the tip through the end of the handle and ABS injection-molded electronics case (3 ¼" tapered to 2 ½"-wide X 4 ½" tapered to 2 ½"-deep) provide the best structural integrity in a hand-held locator.
-
Lightweight; only about two pounds including batteries
-
Uses 2 regular alkaline 9-volt batteries, parallel; the unit is shipped with two spare batteries
-
Soft pack carrying case included (optional hard case available) Battery compartment separated from electronic components and the circuit board. No exposing electronics to replace the batteries.
ML-1M - All-inclusive magnetic locator with simple, one-handed operation plus digital metrics.
The ML-1M is one of SSI's longest-enduring and industry-leading products for magnetic detection. Whether you're seeking corner markers (iron or steel), well casings, steel drums or septic tank handles, this is the go-to magnetic locator for you. And for good reason. The ML series offers simple one-handed operation with an easy-to-learn keypad featuring only three buttons - no menus or cumbersome instructions to follow. The audio unit has the volume built into the on/off key; just hold down the key while it cycles through the settings. The ML-1M features strong monotube construction, providing structural integrity you can count on.
In addition to the features of the original ML-1, the ML-1M is metered, offering you added features without added complexity. The digital meter provides for visual signal strength, polarity indication, gain setting plus battery life display. These versions are engineered to operate identically with the same controls.

ML-3S (40") - Short 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.
That's because the ML-3 reflects many of the items on our customers' technological wish lists. 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.
But don't let its looks fool you. The ML-3S is IP68 certified, It's 100 percent waterproof up to 250 feet - a first for the industry - so it can be used in difficult weather and submerged under water. Plus, its auto-zero feature allows the user to "cancel" ambient magnetics or magnetic gradient in the soil or water. And it's digitally tuned, so it offers unparalleled accuracy in detecting ferromagnetic objects.
Key Features
