SENSIT Technologies ULTRA-TRAC APL Programming manual

Quick-Start Instructions
HINTS:
Prepare the area by creating a grid pattern
prior to testing.
Perform all Scans on like-surfaced areas
such as asphalt, concrete, rock, grass.
Do not test on expansion joints or cracks in
the surface.
Be sure rubber pads on actuator and
accelerometers are in place.
Patterns in the markings indicate likely pipe
location.
A minimum of 5 slices must be taken and 3
rows must be scanned to indicate a pattern.
TERMS:
Slice – individual test point
Scan – A series of slices along a single line
Plot – the results of a single scan
CAUTION:
Always setup a grid at a 90-degree angle
from the suspected path of the target line.
The APL must be scanned in a perpendicular
direction to the target line.
Consult instruction manual for product
specications regarding pipe detection
limits.
This is not a substitute for the
instruction manual. It is for

1. Press and Hold the APL power button until the
light begins to ash. Once initialized, the APL
power button will glow solid green.
2. Power on the tablet by pressing the tablet power
button.
3. The APL application will automatically start.
When loading, the SENSIT logo will be
displayed.
4. Click the grey “Connect to APL” button. Once
connected, the button will turn green.
5. On the bottom right hand corner of the screen,
select job settings based on site conditions.
6. Select surface type; Hard or Soft. Site conditions
will determine the proper setting. If unsure,
consult the manual.
7. Select the suspected depth of the target line,
based on system knowledge. If between 12”
and 5’ deep, select Normal mode. If the line is
suspected to be greater than 5’ in depth, select
Deep.
8. Select scan direction. If stepping to the left, click
the left arrow. If stepping to the right, click the
right arrow.
9. Select step distance; either 6” or 12”. If no
known surface structures are present, select 12”.
If scanning at a surface structure, select 6” for
a high resolution scan. (6” interval is used for a
higher resolution scan and is recommended for
most applications.)
10. When the menu displays “Ready for reading,”
the APL is ready to collect data. User settings
will be displayed at the top of the screen. The
APL is now ready to begin a scan.
1. Place measuring device in desired test area. For
best results limit the test length (scan) to 10ft.
2. Place instrument on ground adjacent to the rst
mark on your measuring device.
3. Place foot on footpad and ensure good coupling.
4. Push the handle rmly forward.
5. Press and release the large black scan button
at the top of the handle (just below the control
box). Remain stationary and continue to
maintain good ground coupling until the APL
beeps, indicating data has been collected.
6. Move to the next test location (slice) adjacent
to the next 6 or 12 inch mark on the measuring
device.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until scan distance has been
completed.
8. Press the “Plot” button to review scan results.
9. Mark the locations on the ground adjacent to the
measuring device as shown on the APL.
10. Move measuring device forward or backward
5-15 ft away from current location. Repeat steps
2-9.
11. Repeat scan process as needed to mark location.
Press the “New” button to begin a new scan.
Press the “Yes” button to use the same settings.
Press the “No” button to create new settings.
The “Back” button returns to the previous screen.
12. Review marks to determine utility line location.
