Dryer Master DM510
Operations Manual
Description of Alarm Limits operation
An example can show this relationship.
Let’s assume that your moisture target is 14.5%, and that you want to be notified if the moisture
goes above 15.5%, and if the moisture reaches 16%, you want the DM510 to stop controlling and
return to Manual mode. For this example you would set your high outlet moisture warning alarm at
15.5% and your high outlet moisture critical alarm at 16.0%.
The one exception to how alarms are processed is the discharge rate alarm. For the discharge rate,
the alarms displayed in the alarm area are the warning alarms only. The critical alarm limits are
displayed and set in the Supervisor Setup (Settings key). These alarms will limit the minimum and
maximum speeds the DM510 can run your dryer discharge either in automatic or in manual. You
should set these limits based on your experience with the dryer, the limits of your grain delivery
system and the constraints of your take away system. Remember the DM510 will not and cannot set
a discharge rate outside the limits you set in either manual or automatic.
For a complete listing of alarm limits refer to the step-by-step key instructions section.
