9. Now touch the Setup button >> Extended Setup button >> Printer Setup. When the Storage
Parameters window appears select the type of grain that is to be dried and select the storage bin to
be used (the bin number is for reference only and has nothing to do with the control of moisture). The
optional printer can also be enabled or disabled by touching the Printer Setup button. After you have
made the selection, touch the Exit button to accept and exit.
10. You will also see a button to calibrate the moisture sensors. Do not calibrate the sensors at
this time.
11. Now touch the Exit button at the bottom of the screen and return to the Dryer Operation screen.
The setup is almost complete and you are now ready to begin drying grain using the variable
moisture control system. The following steps start the flow of grain through the dryer and finish
setting up the moisture control.
12. Make sure the Unload switch is OFF.
13. Open the main fuel supply valve on the tank if using LP gas or the valve in the fuel supply line if using
natural gas.
14. The dryer should already be filled with grain. Turn the Load Auger switch to the AUTO position. In
both the AUTO and MANUAL positions, the Dryer Grain Level switch will automatically keep the
dryer full of grain. In the AUTO position, the dryer will shut down after a preset time period using the
out of grain timer.
15. Look in the drying reference tables section on Pages 43-48 for the chart settings that correspond to
the model of dryer. Pick the initial moisture content and the drying temperature to select an initial
unload rate.
16. Turn the Fan switch to ON. The fan will start and the switch will illuminate when air pressure
is detected.
17. Start the burner by turning the Heater switch to ON. After purging for approximately 15 second
the burner will fire and the Heater switch will illuminate. This indicates that the flame sensing circuit
is sensing burner flame. For information concerning burner adjustment see the dryer pre-start checks
section
on Page 34 of this manual.
18. If the dryer is filled with wet corn, run the fan/heater 6 minute/point of moisture to be removed before
starting the unload.
