Leica introduces DD300 CONNECT for improved underground utility detection
(UI) — Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has launched the Leica DD300 CONNECT utility locator and Leica DA300 signal transmitter. This new solution offers versatile and reliable utility detection for improved site safety.
The Leica DD300 CONNECT is designed for both novice and expert users. It features an LCD display with video tutorials for beginners, and advanced features for experienced professionals. One notable feature is the digital trim, which allows manual management of the gain bar to adjust sensitivity, making it easier to pinpoint targets in areas with multiple underground utilities. The device also supports a wide range of acquisition frequencies, including a unique 83 kHz frequency for long-distance tracing.
The utility locator integrates seamlessly with Leica DX Shield software, offering tracking tools and a centralized hub for managing on-site activities and multiple devices. Users can connect the hardware to the DX Field Shield app for real-time remote data transfer to the office. Additionally, the USB connection facilitates convenient data download, analysis, and product maintenance with self-calibration functionalities through DX Shield Office software.
Detecting underground utility networks is crucial for worker safety and preventing damage to infrastructure. The Leica DD300 CONNECT improves safety and reduces the risk of damage with its flexible and ergonomic design.
"Our portfolio of avoidance solutions ranges from novice, entry-level utility locators to sophisticated, high-end, fully featured locators,” Federico Bertolucci, product manager of the detection portfolio at Hexagon’s Geosystems division, said. “The new Leica DD300 boasts an unmatched versatility, empowering an extended range of users to safely locate and avoid underground utilities. This adaptability significantly enhances both productivity and safety across the different levels of users’ expertise."
