6. Screw down the orange locking sleeve until it stops. The bottom of the sleeve should be
within 1 mm of the instrument end cap.
Notes:
● X2Change™ sensors are identified by their orange locking sleeve matching AML-3's
orange sensor port.
● Older AML Xchange™ sensors with blue locking sleeves are not compatible with the
AML-3 line of instruments.
● CT X2Change™ should be installed in AML-3 port 1 due to the mechanical fit between
the sensor and the cage. All other X2Change™ sensors can be installed in any of the 6
sensor ports.
● A sensor riser may be required when installing a CT X2Change™ if other tall
X2Change™ sensors are installed nearby.
8.2 Seals and Plugs
Before deployment, ensure that every empty X2Change™ sensor port is sealed with the
X2Change™ Blanking Plug, the USB-C port is capped, and each MCBH is plugged with its
dummy plug or cable. Contact AML Support to replace lost plugs or caps.
