Roof Damage Warning And Disclaimer GSI DOES NOT WARRANT ANY ROOF DAMAGE CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE VACUUM OR INTERNAL PRES- SURE FROM FANS OR OTHER AIR MOVING SYSTEMS. ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND/OR "MAKEUP AIR" DE- VICES SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR ALL POWERED AIR HANDLING SYSTEMS.
Air Pressure Switch and Temperature Sensor Box Installation 1. Using air switch box as a guide, mark 2 holes on ple- num side wall appproximately 24" to right of transition cen- tered up and down in plenum. 2. Drill air switch filter hole 5/8" diameter for snug fit.
Bin Configuration IMPORTANT! When mounting (2) heaters on a bin it is imperative that they be situated as illustrated in this draw- ing. Plenum thermostat must be to the right of master heater and master heater must be to the right of slave heater.
Machine To Earth Ground It is very important that a machine to earth ground rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is a ground at the pole 15 feet away. This ground needs to be as close to the fan as possible, but no more than 8 feet away.

Refer to the The air switch is also checked on power up. National Electric Code Standard Handbook by The air switch must indicate no airflow.
Normal Operating Displays With Heater Not Running The main display shows the plenum temperature. If or any other error condition will cause the display the dryer has not been running, the display should to show the limit or error condition. show outside temperature.
Starting The Dryer After heater power is turned on, the fan must be turned on. Attempting to start the dryer without the air switch indicating there is airflow will cause an air- flow alarm to go off when the start switch is depressed. The airflow alarm is simply the entire display going blank, and the "NO AIRFLOW"...

Adjusting the Air Pressure Switch Air pressure switch must be adjusted so "airflow". that it will activate with lowest level of grain that will be dryed in bin. If display does not read "airflow" remove cap from adjustment port and slowly turn Put grain in bin to level desired (low).
Adjusting The Vaporizor 1. Vaporizer should be adjusted so the vapor pipetrain runs warm to the touch (100°-120°F). 2. Loosen 5/16" bolt on adjust- ment bracket. 3. Swivel vaporizer away from flame if running too hot, closer to flame if too cold. 4.
