This alarm indicates a “critical” temperature condition of the incoming grain to the dryer. If this alarm appears, proceed to the “Dryer Master Alarm Settings” screen to determine if the condition is critical high or critical low based on the current reading and the alarm values that have been set.
(After acknowledging the alarm, this alarm can be temporarily silenced by changing the critical temperature high or critical temperature low setting to take the dryer out of the alarm condition. This will provide time to investigate the cause of the alarm.)
Tools Required for Service:
- Phillips screwdriver (to remove cover)
- ½” wrench (to remove sensor from dryer)
- Channel Lock (to loosen sealtite fitting)
- Wire cutters/strippers (if replacing sensor)
Potential Causes of this Alarm Condition:
- Incoming grain could be coming from a “hot spot” in the wet holding bin

- Critical Low Alarm setpoint too high
