PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

The Leica Midi Sonde 8/33kHz is a self-powered dual-frequency locating sonde for tracing the position and depth of non-metallic underground pipes, drains, and sewers. Measuring just 38mm (1.5") in diameter, it feeds easily into standard drain and duct systems, broadcasting an electromagnetic signal that a DD-series locator can track from the surface above. With both 8kHz and 33kHz frequencies built into a single unit, the Midi Sonde adapts to varying soil conditions and depth requirements — giving drainage contractors, CCTV inspection crews, and utility surveyors a reliable, versatile locate tool for non-conductive underground infrastructure.

Key Features

Dual Frequency: 8kHz & 33kHz

Select 8kHz for better signal penetration in deeper or high-conductivity soil, or 33kHz for standard utility depth work. Two modes in one compact sonde.

38mm (1.5") Diameter

Sized for standard drain and sewer access. Fits inside residential and commercial drain systems, inspection camera housings, and boring tools.

M10 Thread Adapter

M10 male thread plus female adapter — attaches directly to drain rods, boring tools, and inspection camera heads for push-in deployment.

AA Battery Powered

Runs on a single AA alkaline battery (included). Self-contained — no transmitter or tether cable required. Simple, reliable, ready to go.

Up to 5m Working Depth

Locatable up to 5m (16.5ft) deep. With the DD130 locator, depth estimation is accurate from 0.1m to 9.99m for precise excavation planning.

Drain, Sewer & CCTV Compatible

Works alongside CCTV inspection cameras — locate the camera position from the surface as it travels through the pipe system.

How It Works

The Midi Sonde is a self-contained electronic transmitter inside a ruggedized housing. Here's the workflow:

Install the battery (1× AA alkaline) and select the frequency (8kHz or 33kHz) for your conditions.
Attach the sonde to drain rods, a boring tool, or an inspection camera using the M10 thread adapter.
Feed the sonde into the drain, sewer, or duct through the nearest access point (manhole, cleanout, etc.).
Locate from the surface — walk above the pipe route with a DD120 or DD130 locator. The locator picks up the sonde's signal and guides you to its position.
Measure depth — with the DD130 locator, get accurate depth readings (±0.1m) to plan excavation safely.
Mark the route and location of any blockages or junctions found during the survey.
