DOL 26 capacitive proximity sensor is a small 18 mm sensor 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.
The sensor comes in an iDOL version with NFC for sensor adjustment via the SmartAdjust App.
Due to the mechanical design of DOL 26, the 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 immune to EMI, short circuits, and any overload. No more burned off sensors due to installation mistakes!
At dol-sensors we strive to make the best solution for our customers, who have very different needs. Thus, our sensors are all available in different versions and can be tailored to every specific need.
The DOL 26 sensor has a very low power consumption in off state. This gives the possibility for sensors working in parallel on the same contactor.
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.
iDOL 26 sensor can be adjusted using the SmartAdjust App.

DOL 26 comes with smooth or threaded housing as SCR, PNP and NPN sensors with different voltage (10-36 V DC or 20-280V AC/DC).
The sensor comes with M12 cable as PNP versions (smooth and threaded) and a NPN version (threaded).
These variants can be made with two or zero trimmers.
DOL 26 has a unique design since it comes with an angled cable exit. This cable return variant makes it easier to mount the sensor inside feed pans, since there is often a need for turning the sensors upside down. With the cable return, there is no need for stripping the cable, which means less risk for damaging the cable.
When placed inside the feed pan, the sensor is kept away from the animals and thus better protected.
DOL 26 comes in an iDOL version with NFC. The NFC versions can be adjusted with the SmartAdjust App. The app makes it possible to do more with one sensor. For example, you can configure your iDOL sensors to have on/off delay and Max Run Timer at the same time. It is possible to copy settings to multiple sensors allowing you to preconfigure sensors with same settings before installation.
The iDOL 26 sensors come with a straight cable and a smooth or threaded housing or with cable return with threaded housing.
