DOL 68 Camera Weighing System
1 Introduction
This manual covers the assembly, installation and set-up of the DOL 68 CWS Camera Weighing System. The
manual provides the user, installer and electrician with the basic knowledge about the system’s functions
needed to make optimum use of the DOL 68 CWS. Please read through the entire manual prior to
commissioning the system.
The installation section is intended primarily for electricians commissioning and servicing the system.
Please be aware that no electrical equipment may be opened without first removing the supply voltage, and
service and troubleshooting may only be done by qualified personnel.
2 Product description
The DOL 68 CWS is used to estimate the gain of weaners or finishers. The system is part of the FarmOnline
system for production monitoring of weaners and/or finishers. It requires FarmOnline Explorer version 3.4 or
later to be installed on a PC with local internet access to DOL 68.
The camera weighing system provides the farmer valuable information about the current average weight of the
pigs in a pen, and the size of the variation in the pigs’ weight. The pigs’ daily growth can be calculated from the
measurements taken. This will enable the farmer to respond to the factors affecting the pigs’ growth.
The system comprises a CWS computer and between two and four cameras. Each camera also comes with a
lamp to ensure correct lighting. Each camera records a number of images every 24 hours; based on those
images, the CWS computer calculates the pigs’ weight, which is then used to compute the average and the
variation in weight together with daily growth.

guide before starting assembly and fitting.
5.1 Positioning and pen requirements
•Adjust the system to weigh either 6-30 kg weaners or 30-130 kg finishers.
•At least 2 cameras must be used, divided between two pens in each section.
•Cameras must be placed above pens with pigs that are representative of the whole section.
•A maximum of 4 cameras per DOL 68 CWS can be connected.
•There must be at least 15 pigs in the pen where the camera is located.
•Cameras must be positioned so there is provide a clear view of a measurement area of 1.5 x 1.5 m
for weaners and 2 x 2 m for finishers.
•The cameras should cover all feeding spaces as far as possible.
•The minimum and maximum height for installing the camera is 1.6-2.0 m for weaners; for finishers
it is 2.2-2.6 m.
•If there is more than one floor height within the measuring range, you have to anticipate a higher
inaccuracy in the results.
•It must be possible to mount the camera in a stable position.
•It is essential that the floor is a stark contrast to the pale color of the pigs. In other words, the surface
where the pigs are monitored must have a dark color.
•The floor in front of a feed dispenser is subject to a lot of wear and is therefore often fitted with
plates. The plates should not have a pale color.
•Also, there may be problems with lack of contrast when:
•The pigs wallow
•There is a lot of feed on the floor
•Sawdust is scattered on the floor
•The light for the camera must be timer-controllable. This can be done using either the timer in the
DOL 635/DOL 639 or an external timer.
•The distance from cameras to the DOL 68 CWS and from the DOL 68 CWS to the FarmOnline
computer switch must not exceed 100 m.
•FarmOnline Explorer version 3.4 or later must be installed on a PC with local Internet access to the
DOL 68 (same IP subnet).
