Leica DA300 Genny

The Leica DA300 is a versatile 1 Watt transmitter featuring six selectable trace frequencies from 512Hz to 131kHz. It is specifically designed to pair with the DD300 series to improve detection accuracy and provide precise depth readings. With an IP67 rating and a compact, rugged design, it is built for reliable performance in the most demanding site environments.

Synchronized Signal Drive: Broadcasts clear, high-integrity tracking frequencies optimised to trace long utility runs or complex services.
Compact Portable Geometry: Shaped into a slim structural profile that packs away effortlessly into vehicle cabs or equipment cases.
Tactile Soft-Touch Keypad: Features rugged, responsive buttons designed for positive input while wearing thick leather work gloves.
Impact Absorbing Support: Equipped with localized rubber dampening points to shield the casing from drops on concrete surfaces.

FAQs

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the Leica DA300 is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, providing a cost-effective way to add active signal tracing to your site kit.

What is the primary function of the Leica DA300?

The DA300 is a compact signal generator used to apply an active tracing frequency onto buried metallic pipes and cables, making them detectable by a companion Leica DD locator.

Does the DA300 offer multiple power output modes?

Yes, it features adjustable power settings up to 1 watt, allowing you to boost signal strength for longer utility runs or lower it to minimize signal bleeding.

How often should the DA300 transmitter be calibrated?

To maintain regulatory compliance and verify correct power output levels, the unit must undergo professional calibration and safety testing every 12 months.

What standard frequencies does this transmitter utilize?

The unit transmits at 8kHz and 33kHz frequencies, providing options for general utility sweeping and cleaner long-distance tracking on less resistive lines.

Can the DA300 apply a signal without a direct physical connection?

Yes, it features an induction mode to radiate signals downward through the ground, as well as direct connection and induction clamp modes for target lines.

What type of power source does it use and how long does it last?

The transmitter runs on four standard AA alkaline batteries, delivering approximately 30 hours of intermittent site use depending on the power output setting.

Is the unit built to withstand harsh weather conditions?

Yes, it is housed in a rugged casing with an IP67 rating, meaning it is completely dust-tight and fully waterproof against immersion in flooded trenches.

What accessories are included in the standard kit?

The DA300 is supplied with a set of direct connection crocodile clips and a heavy-duty earth ground stake to facilitate immediate line induction.

How do you connect the DA300 directly to a metallic utility line?

You attach the red cable clip to a valve or valve box and the black clip to the ground stake, which safely injects the tracing signal onto that specific line.
