Cable and pipe locator with GPS and Bluetooth, sonde depth 9.99 m - Leica DD175 50 Hz

Before the first cut of the spade it has to be clear where power, gas and telecom lines run. The DD175 locates buried lines from 0.3 m to 3 m and sondes down to 9.99 m, and it stores every find together with its GPS position in the internal memory instead of only showing it on screen.

Benefits

• Four transmitter frequencies of 33 kHz, 8 kHz, 512 Hz and 640 Hz cover short service connections as well as long routes, the low frequencies carry the signal far beyond the site boundary.
• Sonde depth up to 9.99 m for sewers and ducts, buried lines from 0.3 m to 3 m are reported with a depth accuracy of 10 percent.
• Built-in GPS and Bluetooth module logs every measured point with its coordinate in the internal memory, the handover to the DX Software Suite runs over Bluetooth.
• Signal current measurement separates the target line from conductors running in parallel, supported by hazard zone indication and shallow service detection.
• 15 h of operation from 6 x LR6 (AA) cells cover two working days, spare batteries are available anywhere.
• Good-to-Go self test and automatic pinpointing check the instrument at switch on, sensitivity is set without manual input.

Technical data

Applications

Utility clearance before excavation and drilling in civil engineering, cable and pipe network construction, tracing sewers, plastic pipes and empty conduits with a sonde, maintenance of distribution networks at utilities, recording routes with coordinates for later evaluation in the office.
