Autoflow Operation

34

After the Dump Cycle, the unit returns to

the beginning of the Dry Cycle, the Fill system(s)

refill the Drying Chamber and the process begins

again. If the Dry Timer reaches zero after the

grain temperature reaches the Grain Temperature

Setpoint on the Moisture Control Thermostat the

unit does not enter Temperature Hold. It goes

right to the Dump Cycle.

The unit continues with the same operation

until either no grain is present against the Wet

Supply Rotary Switch, or the Storage Chamber

becomes full.

If the Wet Storage Tank becomes empty

while the fill systems are running, the Unload

Delay starts to count down. When the Unload

Delay reaches zero the fill system(s) shut off

along with the dryer and a Wet Supply Hopper

Empty error is displayed on the Dryer Control

Panel screen. If there is grain against the Drying

Chamber Low Level Rotary Switch the unit can be

restarted by pressing the start switch. When the

start switch is pressed the screen on the Dryer

Control Panel will read “Press Enter to Dry

Remaining Grain”. If the enter button is pushed

the dryer will restart without running the fill

system(s). The dryer will remain running until the

completion of the next Dump Cycle, after which an

“out of Grain” error is displayed on the Dryer

Control Panel and the dryer stops.

If the Storage Chamber High-Limit Rotary

Switch becomes covered with grain during the

Dump Cycle the dryer will continue through the

Dump Cycle and will continue to the next Dry

Cycle. When the Dry Cycle is complete the unit

will not continue to the Dump Cycle. A “Storage

Chamber Full” error will be displayed on the

screen and the dryer will stop. The unit will not

dump automatically until grain has been removed

from the Storage Chamber.

If the dryer stops for any reason the Aera-

tion Fan Bypass switch is placed in the

“continuos” position. The Aeration Fan Bypass

switch is located in the side of the Fill System

Control Box. If the Aeration Fan Bypass switch is

placed in the “automatic” position the Aeration

Fan stops whenever the dryer stops.

Items In Italics Are Defined In the

Dryer Terminology Section.
