1. Safety
Safety Precautions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Read and understand the operating manual before attempting to operate the dryer.
2. NEVER operate the dryer while the guards are removed.
3. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components. Use CAUTION in checking voltage
or other procedures requiring the power to be ON.
4. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are detected,
Shutdown and repair before further operation.
5. NEVER attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing any safety devices on
the unit.
6. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure being applied to the burner during ignition
and when the burner is in operation. DO NOT exceed maximum recommended drying temperature.
7. Keep the dryer clean. DO NOT allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum chamber.
Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow and requires removal
of extra moisture.
8. Keep auger drive belts tight enough to prevent slippage.
9. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners, augers and auxiliary conveyors
which can START AUTOMATICALLY.
10. Keep area around air inlet to the fan clear of any obstacles and combustible materials.
11. BEFORE attempting to remove and reinstall any propeller, make sure to read the
recommended procedure.
12. Make sure that capacities of auxiliary conveyors are matched to dryer auger capacities.
13. DO NOT operate in an area where combustible material will be drawn into the fan.
DO NOT
operate dryer.
14. The operating and safety recommendations in this manual pertain to the common cereal
grains as indicated. When drying any other grain or products, consult the factory for
additional recommendations.
15. Routinely check for any developing gas plumbing leaks. Check LP vaporizer for contact with
burner vanes.
6 PNEG-1755 PLC WatchDog
1. Safety
Use Caution in the Operation of this Equipment
This dryer is designed and manufactured with operator safety in mind. However, the very nature of a
grain dryer having a gas burner, high voltage electrical equipment and high speed rotating parts, presents
hazards to personnel which cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with the efficient
operation of the dryer and reasonable access to its components.
Use extreme caution in working around high speed fans, gas-fired heaters, augers and auxiliary conveyors,
which may start without warning when the dryer is operating on automatic control.
Continued safe, dependable operation of automatic equipment depends, to a great degree, upon the
owner. For a safe and dependable drying system, follow the recommendations within the Owner’s Manual
and make it a practice to regularly inspect the unit for any developing problems or unsafe conditions.
Take special note of the Safety Precautions on Page 6 before attempting to operate the dryer.

Network Setup
This section is intended to help ISP or network technicians install the PLC WatchDog. If this section does
not make sense to you, it is strongly advised to request the service of a network technician.
SECURITY NOTE: Ultimately, it is the End User’s responsibility to make sure the PLC WatchDog is
properly placed behind a secured network security system.
Configuring a Modem/Router
If the PLC WatchDog is connected to a modem/router that is configurable, listed below are a few
recommendations to assist with setup. The methods below do not cover every configuration that
is available.
DHCP Reservations
This is the preferred method for installation. A reservation can be an option in the configuration of a
modem/router. It can be set to serve a given MAC address with a certain IP address when it is introduced
to the network. As mentioned above, the MAC address of the PLC WatchDog can be found on a label on
the front of the Red Lion controller.
Once the IP address has been setup for the MAC address, forward incoming requests on ports 21 and 80.
10 PNEG-1755 PLC WatchDog
3. Installation
DHCP Pool
If the modem/router does not have DHCP reservations, the controller can be allowed to pull an IP address
from the DHCP server’s IP range. This method is only recommended when the PLC WatchDog is the only
node on the network.
Reduce the IP range of the DHCP server down to one IP address. This will be the only IP address that the
DHCP server is allowed to serve to the network. Once the range has been narrowed to one, forward
incoming requests on ports 21 and 80 to the single IP address.
Accessing the PLC WatchDog
The tower dryer PLC WatchDog is accessed from any PC that has an internet connection and web
browser. Some phones are available that view the graphics correctly.
1. Make sure that the dryer is powered up and the PLC application is running.
2. On the PC or phone, open up a web browser, i.e. Internet Explorer.
3. In the URL bar, enter the IP address given by your network administrator. There is no need to put
“www”, simply enter the number sequence. The IP address shown in the Figure 3B is just for
illustration purposes. The IP address you enter will be different.
4. The “GSI PLC WatchDog” should now appear. If it does not, run back through the install procedure
to verify everything is connected properly.
