This DOL sensor is a capacitive sensor for detection of loose and solid materials. This small 18mm sensor is ideal for inclusion in small applications with limited space such as inside feed pans in poultry farms. In this way the sensor is kept away from the reach of the animals.
DOL 26 is a capacitive proximity sensor for detecting loose and solid materials such as feed, plastic or wood pellets, grain, and bedding. The sensor can for example help ensure sufficient feed distribution in livestock houses or distribution of the right number of pellets in a pellet stove.
DOL 26 is specially designed for the harsh environment in livestock houses to withstand high humidity levels and high dust levels. The proximity sensor is fully temperature compensated with a wide temperature range.
DOL 26 is easily trimmed with only the use of a screwdriver. The sensitivity of the sensor can be fixed or adjusted using a trimmer to suit different types of feed. The ON/OFF delay and MaxRunTimer of the sensor can be fixed or adjusted using a trimmer to suit different motor control units.
The products are suitable together with contactors, relays, PLCs, and similar within the agricultural and industrial sector. This sensor is immune to EMI, short-circuits, and any overload. The mechanical design makes this sensor ideal for integration into applications with limited space. The full-return cable option is especially suitable for feeding pans. Very low current consumption in off state – enables possibility for sensors working in parallel on the same contactor. This sensor also provides a unique possibility for controlling cross feed auger systems.
