The Leica DD120 Locator delivers fast and reliable detection of underground cables and pipes using simple automatic controls. With power, radio and auto modes, it helps reduce service-strike risks while supporting accurate utility mapping on any jobsite. Depth indication up to 3 metres, an IP54 build and Good-to-Go system checks ensure dependable performance for daily excavation and surveying workflows.
Simplifying Use
- Ease of Use – The DD120 is designed for simple, fast utility detection with minimal adjustments. Automatic sensitivity handling prevents missed signals and ensures reliable locating, even for new operators.
- In-built Self Test – A quick self-test allows staff or field users to verify that the locator is functioning correctly. This is especially helpful when issuing units, receiving returned devices or performing routine checks.
- Signal Strength Indication (SSI) – The numeric SSI display provides clear signal feedback, making it easier to identify underground cables with confidence and accuracy.
- Hazard Zone – Alerts users when shallow utilities are detected within 30cm of the locator. This early warning helps prevent service strikes and encourages safer digging practices.
Leica DD120 is a buried utility locator supporting detection in Auto, Power, Radio and Transmitter modes. When paired with a compatible signal transmitter or sonde, the DD120 extends its capability with shallow service alerts and depth estimation for improved utility detection workflows.
