When a fault is detected, an error message is displayed instead of the temperature value of the faulted probe. When this occurs the controller cannot work properly, after about a minute, all the output relays will turn off (safety condition) and a signaling buzzer starts. -

Timber Probes Figure 2-8 Incorrect Probe Placement L200M controller measures the wood moisture content by referring to its electrical resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply fix timber probes into sample boards. The probes are connected by cables to the panel jacks on the controller, allowing them to provide accurate information directly to the system. -

Page 42: Kiln Sample Boards
Step 4: Cut two 1” sections off each end of the Kiln Sample Boards samples, and mark them with the number of the board they came from. To measure moisture content on a daily basis, it is best to use sample boards. Moisture meters Example: the two sections that came from sample are not accurate enough for most hardwood dry board 3 would be labeled 3A and 3B. - Page 43 constant weight is achieved. Example: Two 1” sections are cut from 30” sample board 1, and labeled 1A and 1B. They are weighed Oven: Place the 1” section in an oven at 215ºF on a balance, and the weights are: A=2.5g and (101ºC) until the section stops losing weight, usually B=2.3g.

The best way to use the drying chart is to check the kiln each day. Calculate the moisture loss and then adjust the kiln temperature and humidity each day to achieve the drying rate desired.
