The Alarm Location establishes the location in the drying hopper where the actual drying
temperature is within a certain range of the process temperature. The user sets the point on
the RTD probe to assure good drying with proper temperature delivery.
In drying, the material must be exposed to the process temperature for a set period of time
(refer to your dryer manual for more information) to assure good drying. The DM's multiple
temperature sensors allow you to select the specific point where the material will see that
process temperature for 4 hours, or the remainder of its travel through the hopper on its way
to processing. The 'drying zone" is between sensor T1 (the bottom sensor, located at the hot
air entry point of the hopper)and the selected "Alarm Location" sensor T4.
This critical position in the hopper, called the "Alarm Location" will monitor the temperature
reading to assure that material will be within a certain range of the process temperature for
the determined time, assuring good drying. Default value of the temperature range is within
10°F of the process temperature. This default value can be changed on the set-up screen in
case tighter or looser tolerances are required by your application.
