Dryer Control Panel Featuring the Electronic Monitoring
Control System
The control panel provides easy access to gauges and controls and the illuminated switches provide a
quick reference for every operating function. The patent pending Electronic Monitoring Control System is
a computerized control system that gives instant information regarding dryer operation.
Moisture Control Switch
This switch determines if the grain temperature set point is used in the operation of the dryer. When placed
in the “ON” position, the dryer will not enter the dump cycle until the grain temperature has reached the
grain temperature set point and the dry timer has reached zero. When placed in the “ON” position, the
Moisture Control switch illuminates when the grain temperature is below the grain temperature set point.
When placed in the “OFF” position, the dryer ignores the grain temperature and operates strictly OFF of
the dry timer. When placed in the “OFF” position, the Moisture Control switch does not illuminate.
Control Power Switch
The power to the Electronic Monitoring Control System is turned ON or OFF with the Control Power switch.
The switch illuminates when placed in the “ON” position. If the switch is placed in the “ON” position and
the light does not illuminate make sure that the Emergency Stop switches located on the Autoflow control
box and Fill System control box are pulled out.
Aeration Fan Switch
This switch controls the operation of the aeration fan located at the bottom of the bin. The switch
illuminates when the aeration fan comes ON. When placed in the “AUTO” position the aeration fan starts
and stops with the main drying fans. When placed in the “OFF” position, the aeration fan will not run. When
placed in the “ON” position, the aeration fan comes ON when the dryer is running.
If the Aeration Fan Bypass is enabled in the Set-up, the aeration fan remains running when the Aeration
Fan switch ON, the dryer control panel is placed in the “ON” position. With the Aeration Fan switch placed
in the “AUTO” position, the aeration fan will stop any time the dryer stops.
Load Auger Switch
This switch controls the operation of the fill system(s) that load grain into the drying chamber. The switch
illuminates when the fill system(s) are running. When placed in the “AUTO” position, the fill system(s) start
and stop automatically depending on the level of grain relative to the Drying Chamber High Level Rotary
switch. When operating in the Autobatch mode the fill system(s) will shut off 2/3 of the way through the dry
cycle even if grain has not reached the Drying Chamber High Level Rotary switch. When placed in the
“OFF” position the fill system(s) will not run. When placed in the “ON” position, the fill system(s) work the
same as in Auto, except the out of grain timer is ignored.
