DOL 26 sensor amnesic CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T 5M, 105123

What is the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T capacitive sensor (5-meter cable) and what is it used for?

The DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T (5M) capacitive sensor is a special version of the popular M18 PNP sensor with an increased cable length of up to 5 meters. Standard models usually come with a 2-meter cable, which is often insufficient for connecting to remote control panels without using extension cords.

Functionally, this is a fully equipped model: it has two trimmers (2T) for adjusting time and sensitivity, as well as a complementary output (NO + NC), allowing it to be integrated into any automation logic scheme.

Key advantages of the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T (5M) sensor

• One-piece 5-meter cable. The main advantage is the absence of the need to make "splices" or install additional junction boxes in the middle of the line. A solid cable guarantees no contact oxidation and signal loss.
• Logic flexibility (NO + NC). The 4-wire cable makes it possible to choose the closing or opening function during installation, or use both signals simultaneously.
• Full settings (2T). Delay adjustment (Time) prevents frequent motor starts, and sensitivity adjustment (Sens) allows working with different types of feed.
• Reliable M18 housing. Standard threaded mounting ensures rigid fixation of the sensor on the hopper.

Applications of the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T (5M) sensor

This model is indispensable for facilities with large equipment dimensions:

• High silos and hoppers. When the sensor is at the top, and the junction box is at the bottom or at a distance.
• Wide distribution lines. Where the standard 2-meter cable is not enough to reach the cable duct.
• Aggressive environment. Any cable connection is a potential weak point for moisture. Using a 5-meter cable allows moving the connection point to a dry zone (panel).
• Complex mechanisms. Where the cable needs to be routed via detours through moving parts.

Why choose the DOL 26 model with a 5-meter cable

You choose this model to save installation time and increase system reliability. The absence of intermediate connections is the key to long-lasting automation operation.

Mounting and setting up the DOL 26 CA-P-M18-NF-CA-PNP-2-2T (5M) sensor

1. Cable routing: Use the advantage of the 5m length to route the cable in protective sleeves or trays directly to the control cabinet. Avoid cable tension.
2. Connection: 4-wire PNP scheme.
   Brown/Blue — power.
   Black — NO signal.
   White — NC signal.
3. Settings: Adjust the Sens (to ignore dust) and Time (for activation delay) trimmers according to the standard procedure.

Comparison of the 5M version with the standard 2M version
