Leica Geosystems Presents new Utility Detection Solution

The Leica DT100, paired with the Leica DE100 Transmitter, offers precise locating capabilities and real-time feedback for underground utilities.

(Heerbrugg, Switzerland, 03 December 2024) Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, today announced its latest utility detection solution, the Leica DT100 Precision Locator and Leica DE100 Transmitter.

The precision locator market is driven by the need for effective, reliable solutions that enhance safety, efficiency and productivity in various operational contexts. The Leica DT100, paired with the DE100 transmitter, offers a robust solution designed to meet the demanding needs of industries like construction, utilities, and telecommunications.

The DT100 Precision Locator excels through accuracy and ease of use. Its user interface with intuitive peak-and-null signal representation simplifies the detection processes. Ergonomically designed, compact and lightweight, the DT100 is well-balanced and comfortable for extended use, reducing operator fatigue. Its enhanced usability makes it an ideal tool for professionals who require consistent performance during long hours of fieldwork.

The DE100 Transmitter’s powerful output and ability to deliver solid current — up to 1 Ampere — facilitate a strong, reliable signal. This capability is essential when dealing with environments where cables or pipes may overlap. The built-in display becomes an empowering tool for users, delivering real-time feedback on current and voltage that allows for swift and well-informed decisions in the field. Precautionary features that provide quick voltage alerts to users ensure enhanced safety for professionals operating in the field.

The full solution is delivered in a field-ready bag that holds all essentials users will need for smooth setup and operation, ensuring a ready-to-go user experience.

“Ease of access to advanced technology facilitates efficient work on job sites, compensates for talent shortages, minimises safety-critical and costly errors, and enhances convenience,” says Matthias Twardzik, Director Hexagon Detection at Hexagon’s Geosystems division. “This powerful solution is intuitive and comfortable to use and streamlines the detection workflow to give experienced and novice surveyors as well as professionals at service companies the reliability and performance they need for efficient on-site decision-making.”

The Leica DT100 is part of Hexagon’s Detection portfolio, integrating seamlessly with other advanced hardware and software solutions like GNSS, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Leica Geosystems’ on-field and post-processing software. This integration facilitates accurate mapping of underground utility networks and streamlines the field-to-office process.
