PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DOL 20SCR is a capacitive sensor for
detecting loose and solid materials.
The sensor has a 2-wire connection (ON or
OFF), which is protected against higher
current (Ie) than specified, incl. connection
/ short circuit directly to supply voltage.
The sensor comes as standard with two
trimmers for adjusting the sensitivity and a
delayed disconnection. See the information
on the product label for special variants.
APPLICATIONS:
• Level control in silos, containers and
feed lines.
• Emptying/filling control.
• Alarms for feed accumulation/errors in
transport systems, e.g. worm conveyor.
MOUNTING METHODS, FIG. 1:
Measurement through plastic material:
The sensor with mounting clip can be used
for plastic types with a minimum of
moisture absorption.
Fit the sensor so that it is protected from
the build-up of dust and the impact of
water on the detection area of the sensor,
including condensation.
If there is significant wear, the sensor
should be mounted behind a wear plate
made of a suitable plastic material.

MOUNTING, FIG. 2:
The sensor is not side sensitive, but to avoid
incorrect detection as a result of uncertainty
with regard to mounting, it is best to keep the
sensor away from any metal components, see
the dimensions in figure 2. (5 mm gap).
ELECTRICAL MOUNTING, FIG. 3:
The sensor must be connected as per the
diagram in figure 3.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION, FIG. 4:
When there is material in front of the sensor,
the output is in the reference position (OFF).
When the material disappears, the timer
starts, and the output will change to (NC) after
the set delay.
The status of the sensor is indicated with a
yellow LED. Other functions are possible for
special variants.
See product label for current functions.
If the max. current (Ie) is exceeded, the sensor
will try to change from OFF to ON 6 times, at
the same time as quick pairwise yellow LED
flashes occur.

MAINTENANCE:
If the sensor is located in a particularly dirty
environment, it may be necessary to clean the
area around the sensor. Otherwise, no
additional maintenance is required.
