3. Dryer Control Panel
Dryer Control Panel Featuring the 100 Series Control System
The control panel provides easy access to gauges and controls. The Competitor Series 2000 Control System is a computerized control system that gives instant information regarding dryer operation.
Moisture Control
The Series 2000 Dryer has a built in moisture control. It controls the moisture level of discharged grain by sensing grain column temperature.
Moisture Control Switch
This switch turns the power ON or OFF to the moisture control. The light beside the switch is illuminated when the grain column temperature is below the moisture control setpoint.
Control Power Switch
The power to the Competitor 2000 Control System is turned ON or OFF with this switch.
Outside Light
The dryer outside light is turned ON or OFF here.
Drying Mode Switch
This is used to select staged batch or continuous flow drying.
Load Auger Switch
This is used to select the operation of the fill auger. In both the AUTO and MANUAL position, the load auger will operate if the dryer is low on grain and will automatically shut off when the dryer is full. In the AUTO position only, the dryer will shut down after a preset period of time set on the out of grain timer.
NOTE: If the load auxiliary motor overload relay is being utilized in the dryer control panel, this switch will also control the operation of the auxiliary equipment.
Fan Switch
The fan is turned ON or OFF with this switch. The ON position operates the fan continuously during staged batch and continuous flow modes. The AUTO position is used in batch mode only and allows the fan to shut down during the unloading operation if desired. The light comes ON only when air pressure is sensed.
Heater Switch
This switch is used to turn the burner ON or OFF. The ON position will operate the burner continuously, but only when the fan is running. The AUTO position is used in batch mode only and allows the heater to be turned OFF to cool the grain and during the unloading operation. The burner light comes ON only when flame is detected.
