The Leica DD130 Cable Locator is designed for professionals who need reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use tools for locating and tracing buried utilities. Whether you’re working in construction, utilities, or surveying, the DD130 offers enhanced capabilities over the DD120, with greater depth detection, more tracing frequencies, and added safety features—all in a rugged, intuitive package.
The DD130 supports four core detection modes—Power, Radio, Auto, and Transmitter—allowing users to adapt to various site conditions. The Auto mode scans all frequencies simultaneously, making it ideal for quick, comprehensive sweeps. With support for 33 kHz and 8 kHz transmitter frequencies, and extended tracing capabilities using 512 Hz and 640 Hz, the DD130 can locate a wide range of underground services with precision.
One of the key upgrades is its signal current measurement feature, which helps users distinguish between multiple utilities by identifying the strongest signal path. This is especially useful in congested areas where several lines may run close together. The DD130 also includes depth detection up to 3 meters (10 feet) in standard mode, and up to 10 meters (33 feet) when paired with a compatible signal transmitter.
The Hazard Zone Alert warns users of shallow services, helping prevent accidental strikes and improving on-site safety. The Good-to-Go™ health check and startup test ensure the device is functioning properly before each use, giving users added confidence in the field.
Built to withstand tough environments, the DD130 features an IP54-rated housing for protection against dust and water. Its ergonomic design and lightweight build make it comfortable for extended use, while the intuitive interface ensures minimal training is required. Leica backs the DD130 with a 1-year warranty, reinforcing its reliability and durability.
Compatible with Leica DA signal transmitters and Digisystem accessories, the DD130 is a complete solution for advanced utility detection and mapping.
