Chapter 4: Basic Operations
Resetting the Dry Grain Counters
The dry grain and staged batch counters keep track of unloaded grain. You can reset these counters at
any time, allowing you to keep count of grain unloaded for a particular harvest or work period.
IMPORTANT: Resetting a counter permanently erases its total count and it cannot be retrieved.
To reset the dry grain counters:
1. From the menu pane, click System→Unload (Advanced)→Dry Grain Counter.
2. Reset the following count:
Total Dry Grain Count — The total count of dry grain tallied from the last grain counter reset. The
total count also includes that from the staged batch counter.
The counter displays 0.
NOTE: The units of measure selection (bushels or metric tons per hour) that is displayed in this field
is dependent on the chosen system of measurement (System→Preferences→Units of
Measure).
3. If in staged batch mode, click Staged Batch Counter from the submenu pane.
4. Reset the following count:
Total Batch Count — The total number of batches tallied from the last batch counter reset. Available
only in staged batch mode, a batch is the quantity of grain that is discharged in one unloading
operation.
The counter displays 0.
Shutting Off the Dryer at the End of the Day
A proper daily shutoff procedure prolongs the life of your equipment and ensures your safety. You can shut
off the dryer according to your established policies or when instructed to do so for maintenance purposes.
What You Should Know
To properly shut off the dryer at the end of the day you must be present at the control panel. However, it is
also possible to stop the dryer when you are off-site, via GSI’s remote web application. To stop your dryer
through this remote application, simply click Stop Dryer from the main menu, and then click Yes when
prompted to confirm your action.
IMPORTANT: Once you have stopped the dryer via the remote web application, you cannot restart it
remotely. The dryer can only be restarted on-site.
The ensuing procedure assumes that you will continue to dry grain in the days that follow, and that the
dryer will not be off for an extended period. To shut off the dryer at the end of the drying season, see
Shut-
ting Off the Dryer at the End of the Drying Season, page 37 .
To shut off the dryer at the end of the day:
1. Turn off the following, in sequence:
a. The Load Auger switch
b. All Heater switches, from top to bottom
c. The Unload Auger switch
2. Run the fans for 15 to 20 minutes to cool the dryer.
