What is the Leica Geosystems DD120?
The Leica Detect DD120 (60Hz) Plumbers Package is a complete electromagnetic utility locating system from Leica Geosystems that combines a DD120 CAT receiver with an 8/33kHz Midi Sonde for detecting and tracing non-metallic pipes, drains, and buried sewer lines. It provides both passive and active detection modes without requiring a separate signal generator.
What contractors use this accessories for
Construction Layout
Precise positioning for structural and civil work
As-Built Documentation
Field-verified position records for project closeout
Grade Verification
Confirm elevations against design before pouring or paving
Product Description
Key Features
Multiple Detection Modes
Auto, Power, Radio, and Transmitter modes detect a wide range of buried utilities without manual frequency selection.
Depth Estimation
Measure line and sonde depth from 0.3m to 3m (1–10 ft) with ±10% accuracy when used with a signal transmitter.
Hazard Zone Indicator
Visual alert warns the operator when the locator detects a buried utility in close proximity — before you dig.
Audio Guidance
85 dBA tone guidance at 30cm helps operators accurately trace buried utilities by sound in noisy site conditions.
15-Hour Battery Life
6× AA alkaline batteries deliver a full day of continuous operation without recharging. Standard batteries available anywhere.
IP54 Weatherproof
Protected against dust ingress and water splashes — designed and tested for demanding construction job site conditions.
