TECHNICALUSERGUIDE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
DOL 46R is a capacitive relay sensor for
detection of feed, grain and solids. The
sensors have relay output including switch
function. Certified according to ATEX
directive 2014/34/EU and IECEx for
operation in potential explosive dust
atmospheres. Classified as high-level
equipment for use in atmospheres with
continuous presence of explosive dust with
an ignition temperature above 85 °C.
Fields of application:
• Level control in silos and containers
• Controlling the filling and emptying
process.
MOUNTING GUIDE (FIG. 1):
DOL 46R is made in a ø30 mm smooth
design mounted in a gland.

INSTALLATION GUIDE (FIG. 2):
Supply voltage is connected to the blue and
brown wire.
The load is connected in series with the
relay contact of the sensor.
STOP by activating the sensor: Use the
black wires 1 and 3.
START by activating the sensor: Use the
black wires 1 and 4.
NOTE! The internal relay is in position NC
when the supply voltage is connected and
the sensor is activated - wire 1 and 4 are
connected.

USER’S GUIDE:
•Easy trimmer adjustment on a
single turn 240° trimmer with
linear or non-linear scale.
•Functions which can be made
available for adjustment on
trimmers:
- ON and/or OFF delay
- MaxRunTimer
- Sensitivity
DOL 46R has a red LED, indicating
sensor status and a green LED
indicating power on.

SPECIFICCONDITIONSOF USE
SPECIFICCONDITIONSOF USE
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE
INSTALLATION / SET-UP
The units must be installed, connected and set up by qualified staff. The qualified staff must have knowledge of protection classes,
regulations and provisions for apparatus in hazardous areas.
Check whether the classification (see "Marking" above and marking on the unit) is suitable for the application.
INSTALLATION REMARKS / INSTALLATION
Make sure only qualified personnel performs the installation/maintenance/service.
Before removing the sensor, or before connecting or disconnecting the wiring, turn off the power supply. Do not
disconnect, unless the area is non-explosive.
Verify that the environmental temperature is within the temperature class required for the area.
•Ambient temperature range is -30 °C to +50 °C.
•Never remove the trimmer cover protector unless the area is non-explosive.
•Adhere to the relevant national regulations and provisions.
•The relevant installation regulations must be adhered to. In particular, take into account the requirements relating
to the temperature limitation as regards the expected dust deposits.
•Avoid electrostatic charging on housings and cables
•In case of cleaning the sensor, this must be done with a damp cloth, in order to prevent build-up of electrostatic
charges.
•If fast moving particles are present a physical barrier shall protect the sensor.
•Cable shall be protected from pulling or twisting.
•The sensor may only be connected/supplied from a circuit having a prospective short circuit current of not
greater than 10kA.
•The sensor must be protected against exposure to direct sunlight and other ultraviolet light sources.
•The sensor is manufactured with a permanently mounted cable gland and permanently connected cable that is
non-replaceable and shall be terminated in a safe area or in a suitable certified termination box.
•If the user reduces the sensitivity to almost minimum, the sensor will not be able to detect objects in front of it. In
this fail situation, the internal relay will always be ON but the temperature class 85oC will never be exceeded.
