How do I set my moisture

control? See step number one

in the Adjusting The Moisture

Control section.

ADJUSTING THE MOISTURE CONTROL

1.Each 5° on the MOISTURE CONTROL changes the output moisture by about 1%. Example: 100° is set, producing 16% corn out, however, 17% corn out is needed. Reduce the MOISTURE CONTROL tempera- ture by 5° to 95°. This should change the moisture out to about 17%. To make the corn come out dryer, raise the temperature on the MOISTURE CONTROL.

2.There are 4 sensors that are averaged together for sensing MOIS- TURE CONTROL temperature, 1 on each side of the dryer in the front, and 1 on each side of the dryer in the back. They are located about

1⁄3 of the way up the grain column from the bottom, and in from the side about 4 inches.

3.The small lights behind the temperatures on the MOISTURE CON- TROL indicate the temperature of the grain at this sample point.

4.The 2 lights in the center are green, the lights to the right or to the left of these are red.

5.When the grain temperature has the dryer cycling HIGH and LOW speed on the green lights the moisture setting is being maintained correctly.

6.Set the METERING ROLL SPEED in relation to the small red lights behind the temperatures on the MOISTURE CONTROL.

7.Red lights to the left indicate that the grain at the sample point is too cool or wetter than desired. With this condition turn the LOW SPEED left potentiometer to a lower number. This will slow down the metering rolls and dry the grain longer, warming it up.

8.Red lights to the right indicate that the grain at the sample point is too hot or dryer than desired. With this condition turn the HIGH SPEED right potentiometer to a higher number. This will speed up the metering rolls and remove the grain quicker, cooling it down.

9.If the MOISTURE CONTROL switches to LOW and only stays on low for a minute or two and switches back to HIGH, speed up the LOW SPEED left potentiometer. It is set too slow.

10.If the MOISTURE CONTROL switches to HIGH and only stays on high for a minute or two and switches back to LOW, slow down the HIGH SPEED right potentiometer. It is set too fast.

11.The MOISTURE CONTROL should stay on HIGH about 50% of the time and on LOW about 50%, give or take 25%. There is a broad range that will work. It should be switching low to high and back to maintain the desired moisture. A control that does not switch, will not maintain an evenly dried grain moisture, when the incoming wet grain moisture is varying.

12.When adjusting the metering roll speeds it is better not to change the speed more than 20 points at a time.
