Product and Documentation Changes
SKOV A/S reserves the right to change this document and the product herein described without further notice.
In case of doubt, please contact SKOV A/S.
The date of change appears from the front and back pages.
In case of an operating error or improper use, alarm systems can cause production losses or the
loss of lives among animals.
SKOV A/S recommends that alarm systems be mounted, operated and serviced only by trained
staff and that the emergency opening and alarm system be maintained and tested at regular inter-
vals, in accordance with SKOV A/S´s terms and conditions of sales and delivery.
The installation must be carried out by an authorized electrician and according to current national
regulations and in the EU also applicable EU regulations.
SKOV A/S recommends that prepaid mobile service cards are not used for alarm units with mobile
modem.
SKOV A/S recommends that the alarm unit is connected to its own separate telephone line to en-
sure optimum use and safety. It is therefore important to avoid connecting the alarm unit together
with, e.g. a fax machine.

1 Product description
The DOL 2400/DOL 2300 alarm system is primarily used to monitor ventilation in livestock houses. The alarm
system collects all incidents such as alarms and operation in a joint log, which can be used for analysis and sta-
tistics. The system can also be used for triggering alarms at equipment errors and other alarm situations.
Without extension the DOL 2400 can monitor the temperature in up to 20 house sections.
The alarm unit is not a fire alarm device, but when an additional sensor is connected to DOL 2400, it can signal
a rapid temperature rise, which may indicate an ignition in the building. This feature is for informational purposes
only and cannot replace a fire alarm. It is also possible to set up the DOL 2400 with surveillance to prevent
unauthorized visitors from entering livestock houses.

Figure1: DOL 2400 alarm system
The alarm system consists of the DOL 2400/DOL 2300 alarm unit, input providers such as sensors and house
controllers, and alarm indicators such as horns or text messages.
The DOL 2300 is a reduced edition of the DOL 2400. The DOL 2300 is different from the DOL 2400 in that it
only has ON/OFF inputs and no climate backup and outputs. See the table ‘DOL 2400 and DOL 2300 function-
ality’.
The alarm unit is available in several variants - with or without a fingerprint reader - and two sizes - with 10 or 20
inputs. Depending on the variant DOL 2400/2300 can notify alarms in a clear voice and send warnings via SMS,
while the user can call or send an SMS to the unit to get alarm status or to acknowledge alarms. SMS is avail-
able when the alarm unit is fitted with a GSM modem. Furthermore, a fixed-line modem is available for areas
with poor mobile coverage.

Accessories
As an accessory, an extension box comes with a further ten terminal inputs. Up to eight extension boxes can be
connected to a large alarm unit and nine to a basic unit. Place the extension boxes immediately next to the
alarm unit. Another extension option is to use a DOL 2400/DOL 2300 in a Master/Client system. It can be done
in a LAN network, mainly where the alarm system covers a geographically large area. You can use up to nine
client units in the same system.
