PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DOL 53 consists of an electrochemical diffusion sensor and signal processing electronics. DOL 53 works like a "nose". DOL 53 only transmits the
concentration measured at the sensor. The measuring unit ppm (parts per million) is a volume concentration. DOL 53 is connected to suitable
control unit over a 3-wire cable. The measuring signal during normal operation is between 0 V and 10 V.
DOL 53 is used for the stationary continuous monitoring of ammonia concentrations in the ambient air under atmospheric conditions

EN–TECHNICAL USER GUIDE
MOUNTING GUIDE
For optimum measurements DOL 53 should be installed at the centre of the area to be monitored. DOL 53 must be installed out of reach of
animals, accessible for maintenance work, suspended from the lug at the end of the housing or alternatively with a mounting bracket on the wall.
DOL 53 must not be mounted near the fresh air supply, in front of windows or doors, large electrical consumers (electromagnetic
influences), in exhaust air ducts, behind air washers or behind screens. DOL 53 must not be mounted in inaccessible areas.
Protect against direct exposure to dust or splash water. For wall mounting, unobstructed gas entry must be ensured.
DOL 53 must be mounted vertically with the sensor pointing down; ±30° at a
location with low vibration and, as far as possible, stable temperatures.
NOTICE DOL 53 must not be suspended from the electric cable.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
The scope of delivery includes an approx. 2.5-meter-long cable connection (5) for
the electrical installation up to the junction box (1). For the electrical supply and
signal transmission to the control unit cables with adequate cross-section must be
used. Connect the cable from the installation kit to the connector (4) and in the
junction box (1). Connect the GND cable in the control unit to protective earth.
The cable must be routed in a manner to obtain a "water loop" (2) for water to
drop off. Insert the cable into the clamping device (3) at the mounting lug. Attach
with a cable tie. Do not stress the cable.
SENSOR INSTALLATION
1. Remove the sensor element from the metal container.
2. Insert it into DOL 53 (6).
3. Secure it with the mounting ring (7).

OPERATION
Switch on the supply voltage at the control unit. After activation or after an interruption of the supply voltage the sensor must warm up for a defined
period. This is indicated by the LED flashing green/yellow. 
The warmed up fault-free operation of DOL 53 is indicated after max. 30 minutes by the green LED being illuminated.
A faulty operating state is indicated by the yellow LED flashing.
MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The sensor element must be replaced after 3 years of operation at the latest. End of service life see date on the sensor element rating plate.
Carry out the daily visual inspection to detect operation readiness.
Have specialists carry out the annual inspection and calibration.
Replace the dust filter upstream of the sensor element if clogged. A clogged filter prolongs the response time of the sensor
element. This affects the sensitivity. The dust filter must always be replaced prior to calibration.
CLEANING
Clean DOL 53 surface with lukewarm water. Check for mechanical damage.
DOL 53 must be removed during cleaning and disinfection. After removing the connector, screw on the screw plug. A missing
screw plug leads to corrosion of the connector.
DISPOSAL
Dispose of the product in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations.
TRANSPORT
Danger of damage to the sensor. The sensor must not be transported unpacked in air traffic. The sensor can loose its measuring
sensitivity.
