Product Description

Leica DD Series › DD300 Connect › Plumbers Package

Non-Metallic Pipe & Drain Locating — The DD300 Plumbers Kit

The DD300 Connect Plumbers Package brings Leica's most advanced locator to non-metallic utility work. The included Midi Sonde 8/33kHz pushes through any drain or sewer and broadcasts a signal the DD300 detects from the surface — pinpointing PVC, clay, and HDPE services that carry no electrical signal. No transmitter required for drain tracing.

Unlike the DD120 Plumbers Package, the DD300 delivers 7-meter sonde depth (vs 3m on DD120), a full-color LCD display, and ±5% depth accuracy. For plumbing contractors and drain engineers who need the best available tool, this is it.

Also performs full passive detection out of the box — Power mode for live cables, Radio mode for services already carrying a signal. Upgrade to active locating anytime by adding a DA300 Transmitter .

The Locator Alone — For Professionals Who Already Have What They Need

The Leica Detect DD120 Device Only is the locator unit — nothing more, nothing less. If you're a contractor who already owns a DA175 signal transmitter, a Midi Sonde, or other locating accessories, this is the right buy. You get a fresh, professional-grade DD120 without paying for equipment you already have.

Out of the box, the DD120 performs passive detection in Power mode (detecting live 60Hz energized cables) and Radio mode (picking up signals already present on buried services) — no transmitter required for these modes. It's the everyday carry for utility crews who need a reliable CAT before they break ground.

Need full active locating capability? Pair it with a DA175 Signal Transmitter for depth estimation and route tracing, or add a Midi Sonde for non-metallic drain and sewer work. Both are available separately — or consider the Depth Package or Plumbers Package if you need the complete kit.

Key Features

Leica Detect DD300 Connect (60Hz) Plumbers Package

Full Color LCD Display

The DD300 is the only DD-series locator with a full-color screen — mode, depth, and signal strength displayed clearly in any light condition.

7m Sonde / 5m Line Depth

Detect sondes at 7 meters — more than double the DD120/130's 3m limit. Reach services buried deeper than any other DD model.

±5% Depth Accuracy

Twice as accurate as the DD120/130 (±10%). Pinpoint buried service depths with professional-grade precision on every locate.

Midi Sonde 8/33kHz

Push through any drain — the Midi Sonde traces PVC, clay, and HDPE pipes the DD120/130 can't detect without a signal on the line.

GPS + Bluetooth + 8GB

Record GPS-tagged locate data on 8 GB of internal memory. Download via Bluetooth for GIS mapping and digital compliance records.

IP65 Weatherproof

Dust-tight and water-jet resistant — a full step above the IP54 rating on DD120/130. Built for demanding all-weather field operations.

Digital Trim — DD300 Exclusive Feature

DD300 Connect Only

Pinpoint the Right Utility. Even When Signals Overlap.

When multiple buried utilities run close together, signal saturation makes it nearly impossible to tell which line you’re tracking. Digital Trim solves this — rescaling the gain bar in real time so you can clearly identify and isolate the target utility, even in the most complex underground environments.

Without Digital Trim

Signal Saturation — Targets Indistinguishable

Target energized with TX signal

Adjacent utilities picking up signal

The gain bar saturates. All three targets appear to carry the signal — the operator cannot determine which utility is the actual target. High risk of locating the wrong service.

With Digital Trim ✓

Clear Signal Response — Target Confirmed

Gain bar rescaled automatically

Correct target clearly identified

Digital Trim rescales the saturated gain bar, showing a clear view of underground assets. The red indicator line appears — use the function keys to manage gain for precise, confident target identification.

Built for the Field. Trusted by Professionals.

Understanding Utility Detection — Resources

Not sure which locating method, frequency, or system fits your application? These resources cover the fundamentals through advanced techniques — everything you need to make the right call before you break ground.

Getting Started

Utility Locators — What They Do & When You Need One

Electromagnetic locators detect buried cables, metallic pipes, and energized services using induced or applied signal frequencies. Any time a crew is digging, potholing, or drilling near unknown services, a locator is your first line of defense against costly — and dangerous — utility strikes.

The DD300 Advantage

Introducing the DD300 Connect — GPS, Data Logging & Color LCD

The DD300 Connect is the first utility locator in the DD series with a full-color display, integrated GPS, Bluetooth, and 8 GB of onboard memory. Every locate is GPS-tagged and stored — ready to download and share with supervisors, GIS systems, or compliance records. A true field data platform built into a locator.

Non-Metallic Pipes

Tracing PVC, Clay & HDPE — How Sonde Locating Works

Plastic pipes, clay drains, and HDPE sewers carry no electrical signal — making them invisible to standard EM locators. A sonde solves this: push it through the pipe with a drain rod and the locator detects its signal from the surface, giving you precise position and depth. The DD300 can track sondes to 7 meters — deeper than any other model in the DD series.

Active Locating

Why You Need a Signal Transmitter for Active Locating

Passive detection finds live, energized services carrying current or radio frequencies. Active locating — using a signal transmitter like the DA300 — injects a known frequency onto a service so you can trace it, measure its depth, and confirm its route. Dead cables, de-energized mains, and metallic pipes with no current all require an active signal. The DA300 unlocks 83 kHz and 131 kHz on the DD300 — frequencies that dramatically improve discrimination on complex utility networks.

Frequency Selection

Understanding Active Frequencies — Which One to Use and Why

Lower frequencies (512 Hz, 640 Hz) travel farther with less signal bleedover — ideal for long cable runs. Mid-range frequencies (8 kHz, 33 kHz) balance range and accuracy for general tracing. High frequencies (83 kHz, 131 kHz, exclusive to DD300 + DA300) couple to the target cable better in dense utility corridors. Choosing the right frequency is the difference between clean data and a confusing signal response.

Technology Comparison

EML or GPR? Choosing the Right Locating Technology

Electromagnetic locating (EML) — what the DD300 does — is fast, affordable, and effective on metallic services and sondes. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) detects any subsurface anomaly including plastic utilities, but requires a trained operator and is significantly more expensive. Most utility locating workflows start with EML and bring in GPR for complex sites or where non-metallic services can't be traced with a sonde.

Workflow

From Locate to Record — Using the DD300 Connect on a Professional Site

The DD300 workflow: passive sweep to identify live cables, active trace with DA300 to confirm routes and depths, GPS-tag each locate on the built-in memory, Bluetooth transfer to detection software back at base. For utility survey companies and municipalities building digital utility records, the DD300 closes the loop between field work and permanent documentation.
