Grain Systems PNEG-1851 - Manual (Page 30)

Chapter 3: Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Make sure to enter the number of modules that corresponds to your actual dryer con-
figuration. If you enter a value that is greater or less than the actual number, the dryer
will not start because the system will search for missing or undeclared fans or
heaters.
Number of Fans and Heaters — The total number of fans and heaters that are present on your port-
able dryer (1, 2, 3, 4, or 6).
NOTE: A portable dryer setup can contain up to three stacked modules, and each module can
include one or two fans and heaters.
Dryer Length — The length of your portable dryer (8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26 ft). The dryer length
is the combined length of all grain columns and each column is 2 ft (61 cm) wide.
Loading System — The type of loading systems that is used to load grain. The available loading
systems are the following:
• Dual fill: Loads grain at both ends of the dryer wet bin and two load augers move the grain
towards the center of the dryer
• Center fill: Loads grain at the center of the dryer wet bin and two load augers move the grain
towards the front and back of the dryer
• End fill: Loads grain at one end of the dryer wet bin and one load auger evenly fills the bin
Type of Fuel — The type of fuel used to ignite the burner (diesel; vapor; natural gas; liquid propane).
Metering Roll Diameter — The diameter of your dryer’s metering rolls (4 or 7 in.). Setting the correct
diameter ensures accurate unload speeds and proper functioning in auto mode. The standard meter-
ing roll diameter is 7 in.
Metering Roll Drive Type — The drive used to control the speed and rotational force of the metering
rolls’ electric motor (DC Motor; Modbus VFD; Analog VFD).

Setting the Dryer’s Timers and Delays
Your dryer settings include several timers and delays pertaining to all phases of the drying process. You
can set all timers and delays before the initial run and adjust them accordingly throughout the drying
process.
What You Should Know
Certain timers and delays (for example, the unload timer) are exclusive to the staged batch drying mode
and are disabled when running in continuous flow mode. In addition, the drying time parameter is a mois-
ture control setting specific to the time-based control schemes of the staged batch mode; as a result, the
drying time parameter is not included below. See
Drying Grain in Staged Batch, page 63 for details on
accessing the staged batch control schemes.
NOTE: The Cool menu is only enabled in staged batch mode. In continuous flow mode, this menu is not
displayed in the menu pane.
