2. Turn the combine ignition switch to the “on” or “accessory” position. Switch the Combine
Calc-U-Dri II power switch “ON”. The digital display should read approximately 2.0% if
the offset is set at zero and there is no grain on the sensor and ambient temperature is at
80 degrees F. Or, it will read the moisture content of any grain that is left on the sensor.
3. Push the “temperature” switch up during harvesting and the digital display will show the
temperature of the grain on the sensor. Normally this will be close to the ambient
temperature.
4. Push the “Moisture Limit Display” switch down and the digital display will read the moisture
limit. Turn the “Limit Adjustment” knob
clockwise to increase or counter-clockwise to
decrease the moisture limit.

COMBINE CALC-U-DRI II INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Combine Calc-U-Dri II from DMC. The
Calc-U-Dri utilizes DMC’s years of experience with grain moisture monitors and controls
in the grain drying industry. Your new Combine Calc-U-Dri was designed by DMC’s
engineers who also farm and utilize this equipment in their farming operations. Since the
Combine Calc-U-Dri was designed
by farmers for farmers, you can rest assured that it was
designed specifically for your needs.
The DMC Combine Calc-U-Dri II will monitor grain moisture as it enters the combine hopper
and provide the operator with long and short averages of the grain moisture. A short average
could be just a hopper full of grain. A long average could be an entire truck load or even a
whole field of grain. It will also signal when the moisture content is at or higher than a preset
level as set by the operator. The digital display can be mounted in any location desired. Many
operators mount the display on the steering column for convenience. The display will constantly
show grain moisture content. It will also show grain temperature on demand.
The Combine Calc-U-Dri can easily be calibrated for use on various models of combines and
for different grains by using the moisture offset feature. If you ever have any questions on the
function, design or operation of DMC’s Combine Calc-U-Dri, contact your nearest DMC Sales
