5. START-UP AND OPERATION
1. Place the Automatic/Monitor switch in the “Monitor” position and turn the Moisture/Matic
“ON”. The power indicator light should come on; if not, check the AC power input and/or

2. Start up the dryer according to the manufacturer’s recommendations using the Main Speed
Control on the Moisture/Matic to control the metering roll speed.
Note: Turning the knob clockwise should increase the DC motor speed [higher DC
voltage on motor], and counter clockwise should decrease the DC motor speed
[lower DC voltage]. If this does not happen, reverse the wires on terminal posts
three (3) and five (5) in the back panel See Electrical Hook-up,

3. The Moisture/Matic may need to be calibrated to compensate for different grains and
sensor configurations.* Make sure that the calibration is set at zero before comparing the
displayed moisture values with the samples tested with a reliable moisture tester.

4. Grain samples should be taken on a daily basis to insure that the electronic equipment is
functioning correctly. Use a quality moisture tester that will provide repeatable accuracy.
To take a sample, a few simple guidelines should be followed.
a. USE A SAFE SAMPLING PROCEDURE. DO NOT SAMPLE FROM A HOPPER WITH
AN UNGUARDED AUGER. KEEP HANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM
ROTATING PARTS.
ROTATING PARTS.
b. Take a sample when the digital panel meter is not changing rapidly.
c. Watch the meter while sampling and use the average reading: i.e., record the readings
of several samples, add the samples together, and divide the total by the number of
readings.
