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.

5 Mounting guide
Check that the parts ordered are present and undamaged before starting work. Please read through the entire
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).

DOL 68 Camera Weighing System
5.1.1 Weaners
Measurement area with clear view of weaners 1.5 x 1.5 m. There should not be any lamps and other devices
suspended from the ceiling in the monitored area around the feed trough. It can prevent the camera from getting
good pictures and reduce the number of weighings.
Figure 2: Siting of two cameras in a section with weaners.
5.1.2 Finishers
Measurement area with clear view of finishers 2 x 2 m. There should not be any lamps and other devices
suspended from the ceiling in the monitored area around the feed trough. It can prevent the camera from getting
good pictures and reduce the number of weighings.

5.2 Mounting the DOL 68 CWS
1) Knock out the number of knock-outs in the cabinet base needed for feed and LAN cables.
2) Remember clearance around the cabinet:
•43 cm (A) so that the cover can be positioned on top of the cabinet base when servicing.
•10 cm (B) at the bottom.
•5 cm (C) at the sides.
3) Mount the DOL 68 CWS with Ø5 mm screws according to the distance measurements in the drawing.

5.3 Mounting examples
5.3.1 DOL 68 camera kit
Position the light source in a way that lessens the
shadow incidence.
The challenge is often the shadows formed by the
shoulders of the pig.
Position the light source at a slightly slanted angle to
light up under the feed dispenser. In this way, the
light is directed towards the pig’s shoulders when it
eats. It yields the best result.
The camera height must be between 1600-2000 mm
for weaners, and 2200-2600 mm for finishers
respectively.
Camera height shall be measured from the lowest
point on the camera to the floor.
Place the camera at a distance of 600-800 mm from
the partition with the arrow pointing towards the
feed dispenser.
Check the camera angles in the table below, if there
is a need for placing the camera close to devices
suspended from the ceiling.
