DOL 26 sensor amnesic CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T,105112

What is the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T capacitive sensor and what is it used for?

The DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T capacitive sensor is the flagship model of the low-voltage series, which has become the industry standard for modern feed distribution systems. This is the most balanced modification, combining a threaded M18 housing, a full range of settings (2 trimmers), and a universal complementary PNP (NO + NC) output.

Unlike simplified versions (1T) or AC models (SCR), this sensor is designed specifically for operation with controllers (PLC) and climate computers powered by 24V DC. It ensures maximum control accuracy thanks to the ability to adjust both sensitivity to feed and reaction time.

Key advantages of the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T capacitive sensor

• Full Control (2 Trimmers). This model gives you all control levers: "Sensitivity" for adaptation to grain/pellet type and "Time Delay" for filtering short-term feed supply interruptions.
• Universal Logic (NO + NC). The 4-wire cable allows you to decide "on the fly" which function the sensor will perform: start the motor (NO) or stop it (NC). You do not need to order different sensors for different tasks.
• Standard M18 Mounting. Threading along the entire length of the housing allows for precise setting of immersion depth and reliable fixation of the sensor with nuts, which is impossible with smooth models.
• Low Voltage Safety. Operation from 10-30V DC makes system maintenance safe for personnel even in humid conditions.

Applications of the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T sensor

This model is the basic choice for 90% of modern automated lines:

• End sensors in feeding lines. NC logic is used to stop the motor when the control feeder is full.
• Level sensors in hoppers. NO logic is used to signal the computer about the need for refilling.
• Precise dosing systems. Where it is critically important to set the minimum time delay for instant reaction.
• Handling "problematic" feed. Thanks to two settings, this sensor handles dusty or light feed better than others.

Why choose the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T capacitive sensor

This is a professional tool. If you are building a reliable system based on a modern controller and want to have the ability to flexibly configure each node — this model is the unrivaled choice.

Mounting and setting up the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T sensor

1. Electrical connection: Power (Brown/Blue) connects to a 24V source. The output signal is taken from the Black (NO) or White (NC) wire depending on the required logic.
2. Fixation: Tighten the nuts on the M18 housing. Ensure the sensor head protrudes into the hopper by at least 10 mm.
3. 2T Calibration:
   - Sens: Adjust the triggering threshold for specific feed.
   - Time: Set the off delay so the sensor does not react to short gaps in the feed flow.
