Leica DD300 CAT Locator

The Leica DD300 is a high-performance utility locator featuring an intuitive, high-contrast colour display and integrated Bluetooth connectivity. It offers advanced signal processing to detect utilities in congested areas and supports a wide range of frequencies (up to 131kHz). With its rugged IP66 rating and internal data logging, it is built for the modern professional who demands both durability and compliance.

Automated Target Acquisition: Uses high-performance internal software to simplify the locating process for basic ground excavation crews.
High-Capacity Precision Sensor: Identifies weak electromagnetic signals around buried pipes that other basic locators regularly miss.
Rugged Weatherproofing Core: Built with a heavy-duty industrial shell to protect internal tracking electronics from wet winter elements.
Onboarding Screen Guidance: Displays intuitive start-up tips and visual alerts to make safety checks simple for new operators.

Leica Signal Clamp

Leica DA300 Genny

Full Description

The Leica DD300 Connect is engineered to reduce human error and increase site productivity. It features an automated pinpointing process that guides the operator to the center of the utility without the need for manual sensitivity adjustments. The full-colour screen provides clear, real-time feedback, even in low-light conditions, displaying signal strength and depth estimation when paired with a DA transmitter. Beyond its detection capabilities, the DD300 is a powerful tool for site management. Its internal memory logs all locator activity, which can be easily transferred via the Leica DX Field Shield app to the cloud. This allows project managers to verify that site surveys are being performed correctly and consistently. The unit is designed for the harshest site environments, featuring a reinforced housing and a class-leading waterproof rating. Whether you are performing a simple site sweep or a detailed structural survey, the DD300 provides the precision and digital audit trail required for modern construction workflows.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Leica DD300?

The Leica DD300 is an advanced utility locator designed to detect buried metallic pipes and cables, helping excavation teams avoid hazardous utility strikes on site.

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the Leica DD300 is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, providing an affordable way to ensure safety compliance on your current project.

What is the maximum depth the DD300 can detect?

The locator can detect power signals down to 3 metres and radio or transmitter signals down to a maximum depth of 5 metres.

What is the benefit of the standard 8kHz and 33kHz tracing frequencies?

These frequencies offer a balanced approach, with 33kHz handling general utility sweeping and 8kHz providing cleaner long-distance tracking on less resistive lines with less signal bleeding.

Does it feature a shallow cable warning system?

Yes, the unit includes an automatic shallow-service alert that warns operators with a display icon and audio signal when a utility is detected close to the surface.

Can it track non-metallic utilities like plastic water pipes?

It cannot locate plastic pipes directly; however, you can trace them by inserting a flexible rod with a copper runner or a transmitting sonde into the pipe.

What battery type does it use and what is the runtime?

The DD300 operates efficiently on six standard AA alkaline batteries, delivering approximately 15 hours of intermittent operational runtime on construction jobsites.

What does the integrated health-check feature do?

It performs an automated hardware check when powered on to verify that the internal antenna array and electronic sensors are operating within specification.

Is the casing rugged enough for harsh site conditions?

Yes, the locator is constructed from high-impact composite plastic and holds an IP54 weatherproofing rating, ensuring protection against dust and heavy rain splashes.

How often does the Leica DD300 require calibration?

To guarantee field measurement accuracy and satisfy strict safety regulations, the locator must undergo full professional calibration verification every 12 months.
