8. Dryer Operation
38 PNEG-1458 T-Series Tower Dryer
1. Load delay: This delay is used to delay the starting of the load auger when the dryer is unloading to
prevent the load auger from cycling to often.
2. Out of grain (OOG) timer: The OOG timer should be set to the maximum time it takes for the
dryer to refill during continuous or batch drying modes. Note that the Vision computer will display the
time required to fill the dryer on the previous load operation to aid you in setting an accurate time. If
the dryer runs out of grain while the Load Auger switch is in the AUTO position, the OOG timer
automatically shuts off the dryer after the period of time preset on the timer. NOTE: The time it took
to load the dryer for the previous load operation is displayed directly below the OOG button in
green letters.
3. Fan delay timer: The fan sequence delay timer is not used on 1 fan dryers.
4. Cool down timer: The cool down timer is used to control the amount of time the fan will continue to
run on a non heat related shut down. To set the time, touch the Cool Down Timer button and
enter the minutes and seconds you wish for the fan to run. Entering Zero in for minutes and seconds
will cause the fan to stop immediately on a shut down warning. NOTE: Pressing the Stop button will
override the cool down mode and cause an immediate shut down of the fans.
5. Unload delay timer: The unload delay timer is used to control the amount of time the unload auger
runs after the metering rolls stop to allow the unload auger to clean itself out.
Figure 8A
To setup a timer touch the button of the timer you wish to modify. The Modify Timer Set Point screen
will then be displayed. (See Figure 8B on Page 39.) Note that there are two (2) number pads on this
Modify screen. The left number pad is used to modify the minutes and the right number pad will modify
the seconds. Touching the Default button will automatically set the timer to the default set point for that
timer. The Accept button will save the timer set point displayed in the time display. Touching cancel will
exit the Modify Timer Set Point screen without saving any changes and the timer will stay at the currently
saved set point.
Once you have the timer set points set touching the Exit button at the bottom of the Modify Timer
Set Point screen will return you to the Operation screen.
