4. INSTALLATION
Sensor Location and Cutout Instructions
Sensor Location
Locations for sensor installation are dependent on the following factors all being present for proper operation. (See Figure 4A).
1.Installation in a six (6) or eight (8)" diameter auger or a flat bottom pan.
2.The auger can be horizontal, vertical or inclined. It is recommended that the clearance between the flighting and the tube be 5/8" or less.
3.The auger must have a minimum of 225 bushels per hour flow rate of grain across the sensor.
4.The auger must have one full pitch of flight before and after the sensor.
5.Avoid placing the sensor in a location that will be affected by condensation.
Note: If help is needed for sensor location, contact your DMC dealer.
Continuous Flow Dryers - Moisture/Matic
Figure 4A Control Sensor Location - Order of Preference
a.
b.Discharge auger - 1 full pitch of flighting before and after flighting. Flighting to tube clearance less than 5/8". Condensation from dryer may affect sensor.
c.Discharge spout - Use a
d.Column - Column sensor is usually in the lowest part of the heating section or in the highest part of the cooling section (centered if all heat). There must be no restriction in air flow near the sensor. Use column sensor bracket #602N175.
