Plastic Pipe!

ULTRA-TRAC® APL is the perfect choice for accurately locating
unmarked buried piping systems. APL nds plastic pipe systems and
other pipelines with broken or missing tracer wire.
Natural gas, water and sewer laterals are easily traced with no system
access required!
Acoustic Pipe Locator (APL) nds unmarked underground pipe, reducing potential third party damages.

DETECTION SPECIFICATIONS
Detection Range
Locates 1/2” pipe at a depth of 12” to 30.”
Locates 2” pipe at a depth of 12” to 48.”
Locates 4” pipe at a depth of 12” to 96.”
The APL will not detect objects less than 12” deep.
Accuracy is within ±18” plus the selected slice distance from pipe location
Multiple pipes close together can cause inaccurate readings for target pipe
Detects up to ve pipes per scan
Does not measure depth
Detects any pipe material (Does not indicate type of pipe or size of pipe)

the user access to a more
comprehensive collection of
data in order to determine
pipe locations and rule out
“false positive” readings.
The user can view data in a
graphical format that more
accurately represents the

SENSIT Technologies
is in compliance with ISO 9001:2008
Available in three congurations, the Ultra-Trac APL has the right
technology for your application.
1) Ultra-Trac APL: data from scans is shown on the APL’s on-board graphic
display. The user will see signal strength readings after each scan to provide
approximate locations for pipes found. Part # 926-00000-01
Included with all instruments: Storage Case, Recharge Wall Adapter, Measuring
Tape, Instruction Manual, Quick Start Guide
2) Contour Mapping Application
(Software Sold Seperately):
Contour Mapping allows the user to
download additional data from the
APL to an SD Card for viewing on any
Windows PC. The Contour Mapping
software stores and generates 2D image
les of individual scans for an enhanced
visualization of the data and improved
analysis. Part # 500-APLCM-01
3) Ultra-Trac APL with 3D Pipe
Mapping Software: available only
with SENSIT’s optional tablet, 3D Pipe
Mapping provides the user with the same
features as Contour Mapping software
but adds another dimension. 3D Pipe
Mapping links the APL to an on-board
tablet, which gives the user the ability to
view multiple scans in a three dimensional
portrayal of the data collected during the survey – all on site and in real time!
3D Pipe Mapping Improves efciency, reduces false positives, and enhances
performance. Part # 926-00000-03
Ultra-Trac® APL with 3D Pipe Mapping Software includes: APL Tablet PC, APL
3D Pipe Mapping Application, Tablet Mounting Hardware, Instruction Videos

ULTRA-TRAC® APL - Quick Start Instructions
1. Press and hold the power button until the display illuminates.
Display will remain blank for 10-15 seconds during start up
prior to displaying Sensit logo followed by “Select a depth”.
2. Place measuring device in desired test area. For best results
limit the test length (scan) to 10ft.
3. Using the A or C button select test depth. Deep is greater
than 5ft. Normal is up to 5ft.
4. Using the A or C button select a scan direction. Step to Left or
Step to Right.
5. Using the A or C button select a step distance. 6 or 12
inches. For softer surfaces and/or shallow depths us 6 inch
distances.
6. Place instrument on ground adjacent to the rst mark on your
measuring device.
7. Place foot on footpad.
8. Push the handle rmly forward.
9. Press and release the large black scan button at the top of the
handle (just below the control box).
10. Move to the next test location (slice) adjacent to the next 6 or
12 inch mark on the measuring device.
11. Repeat steps 7-10 until scan distance has been completed.
12. Press the C button to review the “Pipe Map”.
13. Mark the locations on the ground adjacent to the measuring
device as shown on the APL.
14. Move measuring device forward or backward 6-10 ft away
from current location.
Repeat steps 6-13.
15. Repeat scan process as needed to mark location.
16. Review marks to determine direction of pipe.
17. To turn off hold the power button until the display turns off (after
5 beeps).
