4. Configurare
4.1. Instalarea bateriei
The DD130 locator and DA175 transmitter require batteries for operation. Both units use Alkaline battery cells. Ensure fresh batteries are installed before use.
- Locate the battery compartment on the DD130 locator and DA175 transmitter.
- Deschideți capacul compartimentului.
- Insert the required number of Alkaline batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
- Închideți în siguranță capacul compartimentului bateriei.
4.2. Initial Power-On and Self-Check
Upon powering on the DD130, the unit performs a built-in self-check to ensure proper functionality. This health check is performed each time the unit is turned on.
- Press and hold the power button on the DD130 locator.
- Observe the display for the self-check sequence.
- If any errors are indicated, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
The DD130 offers various modes and frequencies to effectively locate different types of underground utilities.
5.1. Moduri de operare
The DD130 features Power, Radio, and Auto modes for different locating scenarios:
- Mod de alimentare: Detects electromagnetic fields radiated by live power cables.
- Modul radio: Detects re-radiated radio signals present on metallic utilities.
- Mod auto: Automatically selects the best frequency for detection, combining aspects of Power and Radio modes.
5.2. Frequencies
The DD130 operates on multiple frequencies to optimize detection for various utilities and conditions:
- 8 kHz and 33 kHz: Standard frequencies for general utility locating.
- 512 Hz and 640 Hz: Low frequencies used for long-range locates, particularly effective with the DA175 Signal Transmitter.
5.3. Using the DA175 Signal Transmitter
The DA175 Signal Transmitter is used to apply a traceable signal to non-energized metallic utilities, enhancing detection accuracy and depth capabilities.
- Connect the DA175 to the utility using direct connection leads, an induction clamp, or by inducing a signal into the ground.
- Select the desired frequency on the DA175 (e.g., 512Hz or 640Hz for long range).
- Turn on the DA175.
- Use the DD130 locator in the corresponding frequency mode to trace the signal.
5.4. Locating Utilities
To locate a utility, sweep the DD130 locator across the area in the selected mode. The Signal Strength Indication (SSI) provides a numeric readout to help identify the cable and its position. The locator can pinpoint utilities at depths up to 33 feet (when used with a Sonde, not included).
5.5. Hazard Zone Alert
The DD130 features a Hazard Zone alert that warns the user of shallow services within a few feet of the locator. This safety feature is crucial for preventing accidental cable strikes. Always heed this warning and adjust your excavation methods accordingly.
6. Întreținere
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Leica DD130 locator and DA175 transmitter.
- curatenie: Wipe down the units with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Depozitare: Store the equipment in the provided carry bag in a dry, temperate environment when not in use.
- Îngrijirea bateriei: Remove batteries if the units will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Autoverificare: The built-in self-check performed at startup helps monitor the unit's health. If it indicates an issue, refer to the Troubleshooting section or contact support.
- Protecția mediului: The IP54 rating protects against dust and water splashes, but avoid submerging the units or exposing them to heavy rain for prolonged periods.
7. Depanare
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Leica DD130 system.
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| Unitatea nu pornește. | Baterii descărcate sau instalate incorect. | Check battery polarity and replace with fresh Alkaline batteries. |
| Nu a fost detectat niciun semnal. | Incorrect mode/frequency selection; utility not conductive; transmitter not active or improperly connected. | Ensure correct mode (Power, Radio, Auto) and frequency are selected. Verify DA175 is on and properly connected to the utility. Confirm the utility is metallic and capable of carrying a signal. |
| Inaccurate depth readings. | Interference from other utilities; incorrect operating technique; Sonde not used (for deeper locates). | Ensure proper sweep technique. Minimize interference by moving away from other known utilities. Note that depth accuracy is improved with a Sonde (not included). |
| Hazard Zone alert constantly active. | Operating in an area with numerous shallow utilities. | Proceed with extreme caution. Re-evaluate the site for potential hazards. |
