GM2 Product Manual
The Dryer Master M2 Product Manual provides detailed guidance on the operation, setup, and installation of the Dryer Master M2 system, focusing on moisture measurement technology and information display.
This section describes the system's components and functionalities, including the main operations displays and moisture trend displays.
Details on system displays, screen maps, and start displays are provided. Instructions for changing products, calibrating sensors, setting alarms, and printing are included.
Guidance on system settings, engineering functions, language options, and trending options is provided, along with product information management.
Instructions for panel mounting, including display dimensions, panel cut-out, and electrical connections, are detailed.
Specifications for moisture sensor installation, range, signal conversion, power requirements, grounding, and signal output are outlined.
Examples of bypass chute installations with various metering methods are provided, along with dimensions and mechanical metering examples.
Appendix A covers printing data format, Appendix B details history and calibration files data format, Appendix C provides an IMO start-up guide, and Appendix D discusses sensor chute installation with rotary feed.
The Dryer Master Moisture sensor uses capacitance to measure the dielectric properties of the product, providing an effective measurement of total water content.
The system features a micro PLC with an integrated graphics LCD display and keypad, referred to as an OCS, with embedded calibration software for reliability and accuracy.
Upon startup, the system displays diagnostic screens followed by product information. The main operations screen shows product moisture, name, and temperature.
The system logs alarms for critical and warning levels of moisture and temperature. Users can acknowledge alarms and view alarm history.
Two methods are available: Standard and Advanced. The Standard method involves manual adjustments, while the Advanced method automates the process.
The system supports multiple product configurations, allowing users to switch between products and adjust sensor settings accordingly.
The system can display moisture trends over one or two hours, with trending options configurable by the user.
Instructions for setting temperature and moisture alarms are provided, with options to adjust alarm values and disable alarms.
The system logs alarms, which can be viewed and acknowledged through specific action keys.
The alarm delay function prevents repeated alarms by requiring an alarm condition to persist for a set duration before activation.
This feature delays the activation of external alarms, with adjustable delay settings.
Available on systems with software version 2.0 and newer, this function allows printing of operational data at 10-minute intervals.
The system can operate in Fahrenheit or Celsius, with manual review and reset of alarm settings required when changing scales.
Access to engineering functions requires a password and includes parameters for moisture sensor setup.
The manual provides specific slope and offset values for different grains and includes temperature correction factors.
Instructions for changing values, calibration methods, and output scaling for moisture and temperature are provided.
Instructions for display unit installation and electrical connections are provided, emphasizing proper grounding.
The moisture sensor is designed for installation in a chute or pipe with specific flow rate and temperature requirements.
The sensor should be installed in a bypass section with continuous product flow and must be accessible for cleaning and sampling.
The sensor outputs signals for dielectric properties and temperature, requiring specific power and grounding.
The sensor is pre-calibrated and diagnostics involve checking signal levels and ensuring proper voltage.
Designs for square and round chutes are provided to ensure even product flow.
The manual describes data printing and storage capabilities, with options for printing operational data and storing history and calibration data.
Key cautions include ensuring the sensor is free of grain when not in use and maintaining constant product flow for accurate readings.
