VDL Proximity switch with LED for Pan lines

Excellent for use in end of line 'control' pans. The LED light illuminates the feed in the last pan encouraging the birds to eat from it, bringing on the feed system more often topping it up with fresh feed.

Capacitive sensor in thermoplastic polyester for mounting in PG36 screw gland. With adjustable sensing distance and with built-in time delay.

Sensing distance 4 - 12mm, adjustable
30mm diameter
5 wire
230v

Proximity Switch 230v, 0-10min delay, 5 wire - with LED Light FAQs

What does a Proximity Switch 230v, 0–10min delay, 5 wire – with LED Light do in poultry feeding systems?

A Proximity Switch is used as an end‑of‑line control device in automated pan feeding systems. It detects feed presence in the final pan. When the feed is eaten away it uncovers the sensor and triggers it to re-start the pan line motor.

Why is LED lighting important on a Proximity Switch?

The LED light on the Proximity Switch illuminates the feed in the last pan, attracting birds to it. As birds eat from the lit pan, the system activates more frequently, topping up the line with fresh feed and improving overall feed circulation and bird intake. The light encourages birds to use the control pan more than the others.

What technical features does the Proximity Switch 230v, 0–10min delay, 5 wire – with LED Light offer?

The Proximity Switch features a capacitive sensor made from durable thermoplastic polyester, designed for PG36 screw‑gland mounting. It provides an adjustable sensing distance of 4–12 mm, a 30 mm diameter, and reliable 230v operation, making it ideal for pan feeder control applications.

Why choose a Proximity Switch with an LED Light with adjustable sensing distance?

Choosing a Proximity Switch with an LED Light with an adjustable 4–12 mm sensing range allows precise calibration for different feed types, pan designs, and environmental conditions. This ensures accurate detection, reduces false triggers, and maintains optimal feed flow at the end of the line.

What is a capacitive sensor used for in poultry feeding systems?

A capacitive sensor is used as an end of line control device in automated poultry feeding systems. When paired with an LED illuminated final pan, it encourages birds to eat from the last pan, triggering the feed line more frequently and ensuring fresh feed is consistently delivered.

Why choose a capacitive sensor with adjustable sensing distance?

An adjustable sensing range allows precise calibration based on feed type, pan design, and environmental conditions. This ensures reliable detection, reduces false triggers, and maintains optimal feed flow at the end of the line.
