SETTING THE LOAD (20) AND UNLOAD (21) DELAYS

The LOAD DELAY is used to delay the starting of the load auger when the dryer is unloading to prevent the load auger from starting and stop- ping. The UNLOAD DELAY is used to control the amount of time the un- load auger runs after the metering rolls stop to allow for auger cleanout. Both the LOAD and UN- LOAD DELAYS are set using the same procedure as the TIMERS. The AUX1 and AUX 2 DELAYS are presently not being used.

UTILIZING THE

BUSHEL COUNTER (22)

When operating the dryer the LCD display will show the DRYER MODE OF OPERATION on the first line, the BUSHELS PER HOUR or the ME- TERING ROLL RPM on the second line and the TOTAL BUSHELS dried

on the third line. By pressing the BPH/RPM/TOTAL BU button the second line will alternate between the METERING ROLL RPM's or the BUSHEL PER HOUR rate. The TO- TAL BUSHELS DRIED reading is the total since the bushel counter was last reset. To reset the BUSHEL COUNTER, press and hold the RESET button for five sec- onds. Press the ENTER button through the date and time settings and then follow the instructions dis- played on the LCD for resetting the counter.

In the STAGED BATCH DRY- ING MODE the first line of the LCD display tells which TIMER is being used, and the second line switches between TOTAL BATCHES, UN- LOAD RPM or TOTAL BUSHELS. The third line indicates TOTAL DRY TIME and the fourth line is TIME REMAINING on the TIMERS.

DRYER SAFETY CIRCUIT

The Electronic Monitoring Control System continuously checks all safety circuits on the dryer, and will automatically shut the dryer down should a problem occur. The cause of the dryer shutdown will be dis- played on the LCD display, and a beeper will sound on the controller. To restart the dryer after a safety shutdown, first correct the reason for the shutdown, and then press the DRYER POWER STOP button to re- set the circuit. Press the START button.

The Electronic Monitoring Control System stores in its memory the time, date and cause for the last 25 dryer safety shutdowns. To review this information hold the RESET button in for five seconds. The procedure for reviewing the safety circuit shutdown log will be displayed on the LCD display.
