How the Main Menu Works
As defined by the menu pane, grain drying is performed in the following five steps:
1. Loading the grain (Loading menu)
2. Drying/heating the grain (Drying menu)
3. Cooling the grain (Cooling menu)
4. Unloading the grain (Unloading menu)
5. Adapting dryer functions to modify the grain’s moisture content (Control menu)
NOTE: Cooling the grain inside the dryer is an optional step. Depending on your preference or grain drying
setup, you can choose to cool grain in dedicated cooling bins. See A Glance at Cooling Processes,
page 82 for more information.
To help you navigate the user interface or find the submenu for a particular setting, consider a logical,
sequenced approach to grain drying and its related tasks. Begin by answering the question: Which of the
five steps of grain drying does the topic I’m searching for apply to? For example, to configure anything per-
taining to the dryer’s loading operation (out of grain timer, wet sensor calibration, etc.), simply click Load
and then choose the desired parameter from the submenu.
