Problem

Cause

Solution

Moisture continually
reads 5% with elevator
mount.

Buildup on proximity
switch causing auger
to run constantly
preventing the
chamber around
sensor from filling.

Remove wing nut at top of moisture sensor and
remove sensor. Disconnect the power to the
electric motor by removing the fuse. With a dry
cloth, reach inside the slot for the moisture sensor
and wipe off the proximity sensor.

Proximity sensor is
out of adjustment.

Remove the side cover on the elevator mount. Do
NOT attempt to remove the sensor. Locate the
potentiometer adjustment screw on the backside of
the proximity sensor. Using a small screwdriver,
turn the screw slowly clockwise until the unit
turns on without any grain. Then turn the screw
counterclockwise 4 full turns or 8 half turns. The
motor should stop running. Replace the side cover.

Auger doesn’t come on
and moisture remains
constant.

The elevator mount
has lost power.

Inspect the power cable to ensure it is not cut or
damaged. Check inline fuse.
IMPORTANT: Never replace a blown fuse
with larger Amps than specified on the tag at
the fuse holder.
Inspect battery connections. The wire with the
inline fuse should be connected to the positive
terminal.

Not calibrated for this
grain type

See “Calibrating Grain Weight” in Calibration
Section.

Incorrect Grain Weight
(lbs)

Incorrect actual
weight entered.

Press MENU, CAL, WEIGHT, and SHOW CAL
LOADS. Scroll through the calibration loads and
verify that you have entered the actual weight in
the correct load and ensure the actual weight is
correct.
Remove any loads for which you know the actual
weight is incorrect.
After actual weights are adjusted calibrate the
monitor again. See “Calibrating Grain Weight” in
Calibration Section.
