  • Page 37: Operating Suggestions

    Operation PNEG-1148 Grain Flow CALC-U-DRI OPERATING SUGGESTIONS 1. The grain moisture readings are temperature compensated. This means that whatever temperature the corn is discharged at, the Calc-u-Dri is reading the corrected moisture content. Under normal conditions when the grain cools, it gives up moisture. Your hold- ing bins should have cooling fans to remove the moisture.
  • Page 38 7. Cleaning the grain before it is put into the drying bin can increase the capacity and effi- ciency of the drying system. DMC grain cleaners are recommended. 8. The use of a good grain spreader is highly recommended. DMC grain spreaders are recommended.

  • Page 39: Operating Suggestions

    Grain Flow and Calc-u-Dri with very little grain in the bin. Refer to page 78 for wiring diagram of the DMC Level Monitor. 23. To use the Calc-u-Dri for grains other than corn, take several moisture samples as described in Step 2 on page 37.
