4. INSTALLATION
Sensor Location and Cutout Instructions
Sensor Location
Locations for sensor installation are dependent on the following factors all being present for
proper operation.
1. Installation in a six (6) or eight (8)" diameter auger or a flat bottom pan.
2. The auger can be horizontal, vertical or inclined. It is recommended that the clearance
between the flighting and the tube be 5/8" or less.
3. The auger must have a minimum of 225 bushels per hour flow rate of grain across the
sensor.
4. The auger must have one full pitch of flight before and after the sensor.
5. Avoid placing the sensor in a location that will be affected by condensation.
Note: If help is needed for sensor location, contact your DMC dealer.
Figure 4A Control Sensor Location - Order of Preference
a. Take-away auger.
b. Discharge auger - 1 full pitch of flighting before and after flighting. Flighting to tube
clearance less than 5/8". Condensation from dryer may affect sensor.
c. Discharge spout - Use a funnel-type of restrictor.
d. Column - Column sensor is usually in the lowest part of the heating section or in the
highest part of the cooling section (centered if all heat). There must be no restriction in
air flow near the sensor. Use column sensor bracket #602N175.
