The Leica DD175 Buried Utility Locator (part number 949120) is a cable and pipe locator with advanced automatic controls that make it easy to use and require minimal user experience. Avoiding underground cables and pipes is a major concern on construction sites, so detecting the position of buried services before excavation helps prevent operator injury, asset damage and the costs that follow a strike.
In use, the Leica DD175 Buried Utility Locator detects the signals radiated by buried services and indicates their position. It offers Power mode (50 Hz or 60 Hz model), Radio mode (15 kHz to 60 kHz) and Auto, and works with the recommended DA175 transmitter, which provides transmitter modes at 32.768 (33) kHz, 8.192 (8) kHz, 512 Hz and 640 Hz for extended trace range. Depth range of the Leica DD175 Buried Utility Locator is 0.3 m to 3 m for a line and 0.3 m to 9.99 m for a sonde, with depth accuracy of 10 percent. Signal current measurement is included.
The Leica DD175 Buried Utility Locator holds an integrated GPS and Bluetooth module with internal data logging, allowing data to be shared with the DX Software Suite. The Leica DD175 Buried Utility Locator carries an IP54 rating, operates from -20 to 50 degrees C, runs about 15 hours on 6 x LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries and weighs 2.7 kg with batteries fitted.
Used for cable and pipe location ahead of excavation on construction and civil sites, the Leica DD175 Buried Utility Locator is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.

Frequently asked questions
What transmitter modes and frequencies does the DD175 detect?
The DD175 offers transmitter modes at 33 kHz, 8 kHz, 512 Hz, and 640 Hz, plus automatic detection of power and radio frequencies from 15 kHz to 60 kHz to suit different cable types and minimise interference.
How deep can the DD175 locate buried utilities?
The DD175 locates cables and pipes to 3 m depth when tracing a live line, or to 9.99 m when using a sonde transmitter. Depth accuracy is 10 percent.
Is the DD175 suitable for use in wet or cold conditions?
Yes. The IP54 rating protects against dust and water ingress, and the operating temperature range of minus 20 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius covers most outdoor and seasonal construction environments.
Can I log and transfer locator data from the DD175?
The DD175 includes internal data storage and data logging capability with Bluetooth connectivity and GPS, allowing you to record site surveys and transfer data to other devices for analysis or reporting.
How long will the DD175 battery last on a full charge?
The DD175 operates for approximately 15 hours on a set of six AA alkaline batteries, which should provide sufficient runtime for a full working day on most construction sites.
