The Leica Detect DD130 Locator provides a simple and reliable way to locate buried utilities with minimal user adjustment. It features an in-built self test for quick performance checks along with numeric signal strength indication for clear cable identification. The Hazard Zone alert helps users recognise shallow utilities so they can adjust their digging approach and avoid service strikes. With support for 512 Hz, 640 Hz, 8 kHz and 33 kHz frequencies, the DD130 offers both long-distance tracing and standard avoidance capability. It operates in Auto, Power, Radio and Transmitter modes and delivers extended depth estimation when used with a signal transmitter or sonde.
Simplifying Use
The Leica Detect DD130 Locator is designed to streamline underground utility detection with minimal setup. Its automated controls remove the need for sensitivity adjustment, helping operators locate services reliably without missing detectable signals.
In-built Self Test
An integrated self test allows users and rental teams to verify that the locator is functioning correctly. This quick check is ideal before issuing the unit to new operators or returning it to service.
Signal Strength Indication (SSI)
The DD130 includes a numeric signal strength display that supports accurate cable identification. This feature helps operators clearly distinguish between nearby utilities during detection tasks.
Hazard Zone Alerts
A hazard zone warning alerts users when shallow utilities are within 30 cm of the locator. This prompt helps adjust excavation methods early and reduces the chance of cable strikes.
Multiple Frequencies for Flexibility
The DD130 supports 512 Hz, 640 Hz, 8 kHz and 33 kHz frequencies, giving operators flexibility when selecting avoidance or tracing modes. Lower frequencies support long-distance tracing, while 33 kHz is ideal for general avoidance scanning.
Enhanced Detection Capability
The Leica DD130 provides detection in Auto, Power, Radio and Transmitter modes. It also features shallow service indication, hazard alerts, and extended depth estimation when paired with a signal transmitter or sonde.
