Guidelines for Powering Auxiliary Conveyors
Before you can operate the auxiliary conveyors, you must ensure that adequate power is available.
• The auxiliary load and auxiliary unload augers or conveyors can be wired directly to the dryer.
• If an auxiliary motor is larger than recommended, it must be powered from a source outside the
dryer and must use a separate contactor and overload protection device for each motor. However,
you can operate the auxiliaries through the control panel.
• Refer to
Specifications for the Electrical Load on a Pressure Cooled Quiet Dryer, page 57
for the
maximum horsepower and amps that can be wired to the dryer.

These charts provide information for you to ensure that the grain dryer and the auxiliary equipment are
supplied with adequate power.
It is recommended that you contact the local power company and have a representative verify the installa-
tion to make sure that the wiring is compatible with their system and adequate power is supplied to the
unit. The only equipment connected to the recommended service amps must be the grain dryer. You must
adhere to all national and local electrical regulations. (Refer to the National Electrical Code Standard
handbook created by the National Fire Protection Association). A qualified electrician must make all elec-
trical wiring installations.
