Grain Dryer. It is designed to provide excellent performance and service for many years.
This manual refers to the troubleshooting of the E.M.C.S.and Series
2000 Competitor models. Different
models are available for liquid propane or natural gas fuel supply, with
either single phase 230 volt, or three
phase 230, 460, 575 volt electrical
power. (Also 380 volt 50Hz).
The GSI Group Inc. recommends
contacting your local power company, and having a representative
survey your installation so the wiring is compatible with your system
and adequate power is supplied.
The principal concern of the GSI
Group, Inc. ("GSI") is your safety
and the safety of others associated
with grain handling equipment. This
manual is written to help you understand safe operating procedures, and some of the problems
that may be encountered by the operator or other personnel.
As owner and/or operator, it is your responsibility to know what requirements, hazards and precautions exist,
and to inform all personnel associated with the equipment, or who are in the dryer area. Avoid any alterations to
the equipment. Such alterations may produce a very dangerous situation, where serious injury or death may
occur.
Safety
WARNING! BE ALERT!

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATION AND SERVICE
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Read and understand the operating manual before trying to operate the
dryer.
2. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components. Use
CAUTION in checking voltage or other procedures requiring power to
be ON.
3. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are detected, do not operate the dryer. Shut down and repair before further
operation.
4. Never attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing
any safety devices on the unit.
5. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to burner
during ignition and when burner is in operation. Do not exceed maximum recommended drying temperature.
6. Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in the
plenum or drying chamber.
Safety Precautions
Use Caution in the
Operation of this
Equipment
The design and manufacture of this
dryer is directed toward operator
safety. However, the very nature of
a grain dryer having a gas burner,
high voltage electrical equipment
and high speed rotating parts, does
present a hazard to personnel, which
can not be completely safeguarded
against, without interfering with efficient operation and reasonable access to 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.
7. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners, augers
and auxiliary conveyors which START AUTOMATICALLY.
8. Do not operate in any area where combustible material will be drawn into
the fan.
9. Before attempting to remove and reinstall any propeller, make certain to
read the recommended procedure listed within the servicing section of
the manual.
10. Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow
and requires removal of extra moisture.
This product is intended for the use of grain handling only. Any other
use is considered a misuse of the product.
Some edges of the product components can be sharp. It is recommended
that each component of this product be examined to determine if there
are any safety considerations to be taken. Any and all necessary personal
protective equipment should be worn at all tines when handling, assembling, installing and operation of the product and/or components.
Guards are removed for illustration purpose only. All guards must be
in place before/during operation.
KEEP THE DRYER CLEAN
DO NOT ALLOW FINE
MATERIAL TO ACCUMULATE
IN THE PLENUM CHAMBER
OR SURROUNDING THE
OUTSIDE OF THE DRYER
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 this manual, and
make it a practice to regularly inspect the operation of the unit for
any developing problems or unsafe
conditions.
Take special note of the safety precautions listed at left before attempting to operate the dryer.

DRYER SAFETY CIRCUIT ALWAYS STARTS ON J5-8 AND ENDS
ON J4-12.USING THE J5-12 TERMINAL FOR NEGATIVE,
THERE SHOULD BE 12 VOLTS DC ON EACH TERMINAL FROM
J5-8 TO J4-12.
WHEN CHECKING FOR 12 VOLTS DC ALWAYS PUT THE
NEGATIVE PROBE OF VOLT METER TO TERMINAL J5-12
SAFETY CIRCUIT IN BOLD IS FOR FLAME DETECTION ONLY.
EACH OF THE TERMINALS CONNECTED TO IT CAN LOOSE
12 VDC FOR 20 SECONDS BEFORE A SHUTDOWN OCCURS.
THIS GIVES THE BURNER CIRCUIT TIME TO SENSE FLAME.
ALL OTHER SAFETY CONNECTIONS MUST HAVE 12 VDC
PRESENT AT ALL TIMES TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

New Fenwal Board Wiring
The B. GND terminal is used to ground the burner and to complete the flame current signal circuit. This terminal is
new for systems that used the older version of the Fenwal board. This terminal must be connected to the burner
(chassis) ground not only to ensure the best, long term, stable flame signal, but also to ground the burner for
proper sparking.
The use of a burner ground terminal eliminates the problem of loss of flame sense signal due to a missing or loose
neutral or ground (green) wire at the 120 V AC power source. The new board has been designed such that reversing
the polarity of the 120 V AC line does not cause a loss of flame signal. Thus providing a more reliable flame signal
along with a reduction of nuisance lockouts, due to its design and the use of the B. GND terminal.

Temperature Charts
We use two (2) different types of sensors (NTC thermistor on the Competitor Series 2000, and an
encapsulated sensor on the E.M.C.S dryer) in our dryers. The resistance of the sensors varies according to the
outside temperature. For example, on the E.M.C.S. dryers, for every one (1) degree rise in temperature the
resistance increases 4.8 ohms. However, on the Competitor Series 2000 dryer , the sensor reacts just the opposite,
the resistance rises with colder temperatures. The charts displayed above will help when troubleshooting any
sensor problems.

DC Drive Metering Roll System
Symptoms: Metering Roll will not turn,
dryer shutdown-"Metering Roll Drive Failure"
Metering Roll Operation
•The DC drive system on the portable
dryer is used to control the output of grain
from the dryer. It is adjusted from the
front of the control box using the high and
low metering roll potentiometers. Components used in this circuit are the SCR
contactor, SCR drive board, DC motor/
gear box, and the input/output board from
the Electronic Monitoring Control System.
•All voltage for the drive system comes
from terminals 1-(L1) and 3-(L2) of the
SCR contactor. There should be 220 volts
AC across these two points even if the
unload system is turned off. If this voltage
is zero, check your incoming main power.
in the 2 Speed position. If this is present
then the SCR contactor and input/output board
are okay.
•If 220 volts AC is present across input of
the SCR drive board (L1 and L2) then
check for voltage across the output of the
board. Change your voltmeter to check forDC voltage at a range above the 200 volt
scale. Put the leads across A+ and A-. The
voltage across these two points will vary
depending on where the speed control potentiometer is turned. Also try turning the potentiometer up and down. The voltage should go
from zero to approximately 180 Volts DC. If
zero voltage is present across the A+ and Aterminal, first try to disconnect the wires from
these two points and then check for DC volts
again. If the voltage returns, suspect a bad
motor or a problem in the wiring to the motor.
If the voltage does not return, suspect a bad
DC drive board.
•When the unload system is turned on you
should be able to observe the SCR
contactor energizing. The power to the
contactor should turn on and off with the
unload switch. You can check for power by
putting an AC voltmeter across terminals
A1 and A2. Across these points you
should read 120 Volts AC. Also on the top
of the contactor you can see a plunger pulling
in whenever the contactor coil gets power. When
the contactor is energized, power is transferred
from terminals L1 and L2 to terminals T1 and
T2. Understand that L1 and L2 are the Input
of the SCR contactor and T1 and T2 are the
Output of the contactor.
Check the SCR Drive Board
•Next if all the above checks out okay, put
your voltmeter across terminal L1and L2 of the
SCR drive board. You should get 220 Volts AC
across these points when the Unload Switch Is
Check the Motor
•The wires attached to A+ and A- go directly to
the DC drive motor on the dryer. You may
remove the top cover of the motor and check
for the same DC voltages mentioned above at
the motor. If the voltage is not present try to
disconnect the wires, then check for DC volts
again. If you do not get any voltage then look
for a broken or loose wire between the motor
and the drive board terminals.
•If the voltage is present suspect the motor
or the gear box. Removing the motor from
the gear box and trying to run the motor only
is one way of narrowing down the problem, or
you may want to remove the chain and see if
the metering rolls are froze up. Using a pipe
wrench is an easy way to try and rotate the
metering rolls.

Troubleshooting Tips
Fenwal Ignition System
Symptoms: Burner will not light, dryer
shutdown for "Loss of Flame"
Fenwal Ignition Operation
•The Fenwal Ignition System ignites the
Fenwal Ignition Operation
burner and monitors the flame. Once 120
VAC is applied to the Fenwal, the solenoids
are powered up and the transformer begins
ignition through the ignitor. If flame is
sensed during the ignition period (about
4 seconds), the transformer is turned off,
but the solenoids stay on. If no flame is detected after the ignition period, both the solenoids
and transformer lose power and the dryer
begins a shutdown sequence.
•All voltage for the Fenwal Ignition
System is derived from the input/output
board of the Electronic Monitoring
Control System. For ignition to occur:
1. The fan must be turned on.
2. The pressure switch in the plenum
must indicate the fan is operating.
3. The burner switch must be in the
auto or manual position.
4. The dryer must go through a 10
second purge delay, which is indicated
ing
on the LCD screen.
These steps must take place before troubleshooting
of the Fenwal System can occur. The following
assumes the above steps have been taken.
Fenwal Troubleshooting
•The Fenwal Board located in the fan can
control box on the dryer has seven(7)
terminals. They are L1, L2, V1, V2, S1, S2
and E2. L1 and L2 are considered the input
to the board. After the 10 second purge delay,
an AC voltmeter connected Across L1 andL2 should read 120 Volts AC. If this is true,
you can assume the input/output board is
operating properly and the problem is in the
Fenwal Ignition System. If no voltage is
present after the 10 second purge delay,
check for voltage going through the auxiliary switch mounted on the side of the fan
contactor for that burner. This switch has
to close before the Fenwal gets power. If
this is OK, check the appropriate output
on the input/output board for that burner.
•If voltage is present across L1 and L2,
check for voltage across the Output of
the Fenwal board. The output terminals
are V1 and V2, and they will also have
120 VAC across them for approximately four(4) seconds. The four(4)
seconds is the amount of time the Fenwal
has to ignite and sense flame or it concludes
no flame is detected and begins a "Loss of
Flame" shutdown. If you have power on the in
put terminals and no voltage on the output terminals, unload the secondary (take the wires off
of V1 and V2) and recheck for voltage. If no
voltage is present then suspect a bad Fenwal
board. If power returns, look for a bad solenoid valve or a problem in the wiring.
Note: All of the above voltage checks can be
bypassed if you can hear one or more of the
solenoids on the gas train snap on after the 10
second purge delay. This is true because the solenoids are connected across V1 and V2, and
for the solenoids to come on, power must be
going through the Fenwal board. Also during
the four(4) second ignition period the transformer is energized and you should be able to
observe sparking across the ignitor. If the solenoids snap, but no ignition takes place, check
for loose ignitor wires or check the ignitor condition/ignition gap
even if flame is sensed the sparking will discontinue after the ignition period (4 seconds).
(1/8 " to 3/16"). Remember

Troubleshooting Tips
Portable Dryer Troubleshooting
Fenwal Ignition System continued...
Hints
•Hearing the solenoids snap on after the
10 second purge delay means that power
is coming to and through the Fenwal
board. The Fenwal board is probably okay.
•If flame is sensed, the power to the solenoids stays on but the power to the ignitor
always goes off after about four(4) seconds.
•Power to the low pressure solenoid is always on anytime flame is sensed. This is
because the power to the low solenoid is
hooked directly across terminals V1 and
V2 of the Fenwal board.
•Power to the high pressure solenoids is
controlled by the Plenum thermostat. One
side of the solenoid is hooked to V2(neutral)
and the other side is run through the normally closed switch of the thermostat and
then back to V1. This is how the burner is
made to cycle. When the plenum is below
temperature, power is run through the ther
mostat to the high pressure solenoid. When
temperature is reached, the thermostat opens
and the high solenoid loses power.
Ignitor Tips
•Make sure that the ignitors are mounted
correctly through an opening in the burner
skirting. Also, make sure that they are not close
enough to the edges of the opening to cause a
spark to jump the skirting, instead of between
the ignitors.
•Be sure that the ignitor tips are no more than
1/8" apart from each other.
•Make sure that the wire connections on the
ignitors are good and tight.
•On stubborn lighting burners reverse the
direction the ignitor tips are facing. Instead of
having the tips pointing toward the fan or burner,
change the direction so the tips are facing the exhaust end of the dryer. (This is especially true on
burners with no burner cone installed (i.e. Natural Gas).
•L2 and V2 are connected internally in the
Fenwal, and they must be nuetral.

Metering Roll Sensors
Symptoms: No BPH, Total Bushels, RPM dis-
played on LCD or dryer shutdown with metering
roll problems
Metering Roll Sensor Operation
•Each metering roll on the portable dryer
has a sensor mounted to read pulses as
the metering roll is turning. These
pulses are transmitted to the input/output board of the Electronic Monitoring
Control System. The computer interprets this information and then displays
the data on the LCD screen.
•All voltage for the metering roll sensors
is derived from the input/output board
of the Electronic Monitoring Control
System. The sensors are operated with
12 Volts DC from terminals J5-9 and J512 on the board. When checking for volt-
age the negative or black probe (-)of a
voltmeter should always go to terminal
J5-12.
Always use j5-12 for the negaitve anytime you
check for any DC voltage on the dryer.
Then put the red probe (+) of the voltmeter on terminal J5-9. Across these
two points there should be 12 volts DC.
This voltage needs to be checked, but
you can be reasonably assured the 12
volts DC is present if the rest of the dryer
is operating. Check for this voltage on
the terminal strip in the upper control
box.
the incoming 12 volts DC (the T1-+12V and
T2-GND terminals), and one is a pulsing
12 volts DC back to the input/output board
(the T3 out terminal). Checking across T1
and T2 will verify that 12 volts DC is getting
to the sensor.
•The T3 (out) terminal is what delivers
the metering roll information back to
the input/output board in the main control box. The information for the metering roll on the left side of the dryer is
sent on a yellow wire and goes to terminal J5-16. The information for the metering roll on the right side is sent on a
blue wire and goes to terminal J5-19.
•You can use a DC voltmeter to observe
this pulsing voltage. The best place to
check for this voltage is directly on the
input/output board located in the very
back of the lower control box on the
dryer. Check for a pulsing voltage from
J5-16 to J5-12 (negative) and J5-19 to
J5-12 (negative). Across each of these
test points you should be able to observe a pulsing DC voltage when the
metering rolls are turning. You should
be able to speed up or slow down the
pulses by turning the speed of the metering rolls up or down.
Note: Because a digital voltmeter cannot
reactfast enough you may not see a full
12 volts DC, instead you may see a pulsing
from zero to about eight(8) volts.
•12 volts DC is transmitted from J5-8
and J5-12 directly to the metering
roll sensors located on the back of the
dryer. Each of the metering rolls is enclosed in a white plastic box mounted to the
back of the metering rolls. Inside each box
is the metering roll sensor and the metering
roll wheel.
•Each sensor has three(3) wires connected to it. Two(2) of these wires are
Hints
•When checking for a pulsing voltage on
J5-16 or J5-19 you should always leave
the voltmeter across the terminals for
about 30 seconds. Watch the meter
closely. Each pulse should be about the
same length and about the same time
apart. If this is not true, suspect a problem with the sensor on the back of the dryer.

that the wheel going through the sensor is
positioned in the center and is not touching either side. If the sensor is scratched
it is either bad or will probably go bad.
Airflow Operation
Symptoms: Dryer will indicate a "Loss of Airflow"
•After turning on a fan the computer must
get a signal from the air pressure switch
telling it that the fan is actually running
and the plenum has been pressurized. If
the switch does not show the air pressure
within 20 seconds a "Loss of Airflow"
shutdown occurs.
Troubleshooting: "Loss of Airflow"
driver and turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise. Turning it this way makes
the switch more sensitive to pressure and
will turn on the light easier.
•If adjusting the screw does not solve your
problem consult the layout diagram of the
input/output board. Look for the input for
the problem switch. Example: Fan #1
switch's input is J1-13. This is a 12 volt
DC input and it can be checked with a DC
voltmeter. One of the following conditions
will exist when checking this input.
NO AIR PRESSURE---ZERO VOLTS
HAS AIR PRESSURE---12 VOLTS DC
Remember when checking for 12 volts DC
you should always use one of the DC
negatives for the black probe(-) of your
voltmeter. Some of the terminals that
may be used for the negative(-) are J5-11,
J5-12 or J5-13.
•This error message indicates that the fan
is running and the air pressure in the plenum did not pressurize. First, verify that
the fan is running, and the dryer is full of
grain. There must be grain in the dryer or
no pressure will develop. If the fan does
come on and the dryer is full of grain, but
a "Loss of Airflow" shutdown still occurs,
check the air pressure switch circuit.
•W atching the blue light in the fan switch
is the easiest way to tell if the air pressure switch is sensing air pressure. Each
air pressure switch has a light in the fan
switch that will only come on if air pressure has developed. Turn on the fan and
after it has run up to about one half of its
operating speed the light should go on. If
the fan light is not coming on then the air
pressure circuit is not sensing pressure.
•Try adjusting the air switch on the front
of the plenum to see if it is just out of adjustment. Use a straight blade screw-
•To check fan #1 for air pressure with a
voltmeter:
1. Turn on the dryer.
2. Place the black probe(negative) of
your voltmeter on J5-11 or J5-12.
3. Place the red probe(positive) of your
voltmeter on J1-13. At this point
there should be zero volts here because the fan is not running.
4. Turn on the fan and watch your volt-
meter.
•If the air switch is adjusted properly you
should have zero volts across these test
points when you first turn on the fan. After the fan has run up to about one half of
its normal operating speed you should see
the voltmeter change from zero volts to 12
volts DC. This also works in reverse when
turning off the fan. After the fan is first
turned off, the voltmeter should still show
12 volts DC until the fan has slowed down
to about one half of its operating speed.
This is because even though the fan is
turned off it is still turning and developing some
pressure in the plenum.

Troubleshooting Tips
•If all the above fails to work then remove
the two wires while blowing into the air
tube. Blowing into the switch is the same as
having air pressure in the plenum. You
should have an open circuit until you blow
into the switch, then it should close. If the
switch does not close try adjusting it, or
replace it with a known good one.
Hints
1. Dryer must be full of grain.
2. Light in the fan switch can be used exactly
like a voltmeter to test.
3. Make adjustments of the pressure in one
quarter turns.
4. Make sure the air tube in the plenum is
not plugged after sitting over the summer.
5. Check the bulb in the fan light. It is a 12
volt bulb.
Vapor High Temperature
Symptoms: Dryer runs for only a short period of
time, then a shutdown occurs.
erature Operation
•This message indicates that the vaporizer on
an LP Dryer is not properly adjusted. LP
(liquified petroleum) must be vaporized
before the burner can operate properly. If
LP is being fed to the dryer it must run
through a vaporizer before it can be burned.
If the vaporizer is getting the fuel too hot it
will cause a Vapor High Limit shutdown.
•The vaporizer is located in the fan/heater
unit. It is wrap of pipe mounted inside the
fan can directly in front of the burner. It
can be seen by looking through the inspection door on the side of the burner.
•T o properly adjust the vaporizer a 1/2"
wrench is needed. Knowing that the gas
can get too hot, you must feel the pipe train
before the regulator to check this temperature. This point may be very hot so be
careful while checking the temperature.
The temperature before the regulator must
be warm to the touch. This point cannot be
hot, nor can it be cold...only warm. Use the
1/2" wrench to loosen the hold down
bracket on the vaporizer. Move the vapor
izer away from the flame to cool down the
pipe train or move it closer to the flame to
make the pipe train warmer.
Troubleshooting: Vapor High
Temperature
•The dryer will shutdown but will probably
restart as soon as the computer is reset.
This is because the high limit is an automatic reset and after the dryer shuts down it
allows the pipe train to cool down.
•After the dryer is reset, it will run from a
few seconds to a few minutes and then
shutdown again. This is because the
Vapor High Limit is heating up again as
61
Page 63
Troubleshooting Tips
Portable Dryer Troubleshooting
soon as the burner is turned on. The
vaporizer must be adjusted to solve this
problem.
Using J5-11 as the negative test point for all voltage
tests, check for 12 volts DC using the following termi-
nals to help diagnose the problem:
Fan #1-J1-5Fan #2-J1-6
Fan #3-J2-5Fan #4-J2-6
Fan #5-J3-5Fan #6-J3-6
Remember that each of these input terminals is part of
the main safety circuit of the dryer, and each must
have 12 volts DC on it before the dryer will operate.
Vapor High Limit Hints
1.Anytime you adjust the Vapor High you
should wait and be sure that the pipe train
temperature stays constant. It may slowly
allow the pipe train to get hotter or colder
the longer the dryer runs.
2.If a dryer is shutting down constantly from
a Vapor High Limit, it may also be caused
from a gas line that is exposed to direct
sunlight. If the fuel line to the dryer is
exposed to direct sunlight, the liquid in
the line will start to vaporize before it
even gets to the dryer. Then, when it runs
through the vaporizer it gets too hot and
causes a shutdown (no matter where you
try and adjust the vaporizer). This problem can be helped by insulating the gas
line from outside heat.
The two wrap has less surface area and it
will not heat the LP quite as much. This
may also be true in colder climates where a
two wrap will not heat up enough. In this
case, the pipe train may develop frost or
even freeze the solenoids open.
4.The Vapor High Limit is an automatic reset
safety device. It will reset itself as soon as
its temperature drops below 190° F. Because the pipe train of the burner cools
down rapidly when there is a dryer shut
down, the V apor High Limit will generally
be cool before the operator gets back to the
dryer. As soon as he hits the stop button to
reset the computer, it comes back up to
normal operation. It appears that the dryer
is shutting down for no apparent reason.
Usually if this happens the dryer will shut
down again a short while after restarting the
dryer.
5.If the LP tank feeding the dryer is getting
very low on fuel, it can also cause the
dryer to shutdown on a Vapor High Limit.
Before adjusting the vaporizer always
check the fuel level in the customers tank.
If the fuel pressure is very low, try suggest
ing that the tank be refilled. Usually this
will solve the problem.
3.In extreme cases the vaporizer may have
to be changed before it will run the proper
temperature. Example: If a dryer has a
burner with a three wrap vaporizer and the
dryer is located in the southern United
States, you may have problems adjusting
thevaporizer far enough from the flame.
In this case, you may have to install a two
wrap vaporizer.

Troubleshooting Tips
Out Of Grain Warning Shutdown
Out Of Grain Warning
•This message indicated that the dryer has
run low on grain. The shutdown occurs
when the loading equipment has run
longer than the time the operator has set on
the Out of Grain timer. The mercury
switch located on top of the dryer tells the
computer when the dryer is full or calling
for grain. The shutdown usually occurs
when the loading equipment is having
trouble keeping up with the output of the
dryer.
Possible Solution
•Look at the loading equipment to see if this
is the problem. Remember, the top hopper
of the dryer should always have grain in it.
If any of the side screens are opening up at
anytime, then you are losing heat along
with efficiency. This indicates that you are
not filling fast enough. Speed up the
loading equipment to the dryer.
2.Before setting the Out of Grain timer,
monitor how long it takes the dryer to
refill for shrink. Then, set the Out of
Grain timer accordingly . Example: If a
dryer takes six minutes to refill for
shrink, add an additional five minutes to
this, and use this as the amount of time to
program into the Out of Grain timer. The
additional five minutes is to avoid any
nuisance shutdowns. A lot of customers
don't want their fill augers to run empty if
the source of grain runs out. They may
want to set the Out of Grain timer closer
than the additional five minutes. (this is
fine, but caution the customer that it may
cause some nuisance shutdowns.)
3.For the Out of Grain warning to work
properly , the fill equipment must be large
enough to handle the capacity of the
dryer. You do not want the side columns
to get low on grain. This will allow the
airflow to escape from the dryer through
the side screens. If this happens you lose
efficiency and may start having a loss of
airflow shutdown.
•Using J5-11 for the test point ground, test
for 12 volts on J5-4 to test the load mercury
switch. This switch should have 12 volts DC
on it when the dryer is calling for grain and has
zero volts on it when thedryer is full.
Out of Grain Hints
1.The out of grain timer is only in use when
the fill switch is in the auto position. In
the manual position the top mercury
switch will still shut off the fill auger , but
the dryer will not shutdown if the source
of grain to the fill auger is depleted.

Motor Overload Shutdown
This indicates that one of the Motor Overloads
has tripped, shutting down the dryer. Each of the Motor
Overloads is located in the upper main power control
box. They are all wired into a single series circuit that
goes to the input/output board on terminal J4-12. Before the dryer will start terminal J4-12 must have 12
volts DC present, or the Motor Overload shutdown will
occur.
V isually inspect each of the overloads. Y ou can
tell by looking at them if a trip has occurred. Simply
press the reset handle on the overload to reset it. After
resetting the overloads press the stop button to clear the
error.
If no overloads are tripped try the following voltage tests: Using terminal J5-11 as the negative terminal
for all DC voltage checks. Look for 12 volts DC on
terminal J-419. This is the terminal that feeds power to
the Motor Overloads. If the 12 volts DC is present then
check for voltage on J4-12. During a Motor Overload
shutdown J4-12 should have zero volts. If you have
power going to and not returning to J4-12 inspect the
siring from J4-19 to the overloads and then back to J4-
12. If the wiring is okay , turn off all power to the dryer
and do a continuity check from J4-19 to J4-12. This
must be closed circuit to operate properly .
Motor Overload Helpful Hints
1.Each of the Motor Overload is run in a
series circuit. This means, if any of the
Motor Overloads trip, a shutdown will
occur. Visually inspect the overload to tell
which has caused the shutdown.
2.Even though GSI uses ambient compensated overloads, hot weather or positioning
the dryer control box in the sunlight may
cause a Motor Overload shutdown to
occur. This can usually be tested by trying
to run the dryer with the control box door
open a little bit.
3.Each of the overloads has an adjustable
trip setting that can set up to 115 %. At
115% the overload will hold in longer
before it trips.
4.Always check amperages on the motors to
be sure that the problem is not in the
motor itself.
5.Remember that each motor has a built-in
service factor. This allow the motor to
actually run over the rated full load amps.
The motor manufacturers have allowed
GSI, on a number of applications, to run
motors over the full load amp rating. this
is possible because they are being used in
an air over application.

Programming Instructions Using Palm Pilot
On the Competitor Dryer there is only one board to program. This board is called the CPU
Display board. It is mounted to the door of the lower box. T o access, open the door and the programming jack is located on the back of this board. T o program, follow the instructions below .
1. Turn the control power on the dryer to the off position.
2. Locate the programming jack (J2 connector) on back of board.
3. Unplug the communications cable that is connected to that connector. This is the cable that
runs from the CPU/Display board and IO Board.
4. Connect the DB-9 connector from the Palm Pilot to the series 2000 cable.
5. On the Palm Pilot select the program for that particular board and tap on it.
6. Turn the dryer control power back on.
7. The programming process should begin, it will erase the present program and start the new
program.
8. A screen will come up telling you when the transfer of software is complete.
9. When the process is complete turn dryer control power off, remove the connector from the
board and plug the communications cable back on to the CPU/Display board.
10. Turn on the dryer and the opening screens should indicate the latest version of software.
Refer to next page for more information on programming the Series 2000 board.
If ordering Palm Pilot from GSI there are two kits available:
D03-0692 ( Palm Flash Program Kit Deluxe )
D01-1771 Series 2000 Programming Cable
D03-0688 Palm Pilot IIIC (color)
D03-0694 Palm Pilot Hot Sync Cable
D03-0695 Palm Flash 9 Pin M-M Adapter
D03-0709 Disk, CD-Rom Palm Flash Software
IMPORTANT: T o adjust the air switch the grain columns
need to be full of grain so that the plenum can build up air
pressure and close the air switch.
With the Load Auger, Fan, Heater, and Unload switches in the off position turn
1.
on the Control power then push the Dryer Power Start switch.
With power now applied to the dryer flip the fan switch to the on position and
2.
watch the light right above that switch. If the light illuminates when the fan
reaches half its full speed, then no adjustment is required. However, if the light
does not illuminate until the fan is running at full speed or the light does not
illuminate at all and the dryer shuts down the air switch is adjusted too high
(skip to step 3a). If the light illuminates before the fan reaches half its full
speed the air switch is adjusted too low (skip to step 3b
3a.
If the light above the fan switch illuminates after the fan reaches full speed or did not
illuminate at all and the dryer shut down then the air switch needs to be made more
sensitive. Turn adjustment screw in the more sensitive direction (counter clockwise). Make this adjustment on the air switch 1/4 turn at a time and each time restart
the fan and watch to see when the light illuminates.
If the light above the fan switch illuminates before the fan reaches half its full speed
3b.
then the air switch needs to be less sensitive. Turn adjustment screw in the less
sensitive direction (clockwise). Make this adjustment on the air switch 1/4 turn at a
time and each time restart the fan and watch to see when the light illuminates.
4.Flip the fan switch to the off position and watch the light. Now it should go out when
the fan is about half its full speed. Adjust the air switch if necessary . Remember that
less sensitive (clockwise adjustment) will require a higher fan speed to close the air
switch, and more sensitive (counter clockwise adjustment), the switch can close at
a slower fan speed.
