1. INTRODUCTION
DMC’s Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic is a grain drying control specifically designed for continuous
flow, out-of-bin grain dryers with an SCR control and a DC motor on the metering rolls.
The Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic will automatically increase or decrease the speed of the metering
rolls to maintain a desired moisture content. The Moisture/Matic is available as a base unit or
with an optional chart recorder or printer for convenient record keeping.
The metering roll speed control potentiometer in the dryer control panel is replaced by the main
speed control in the Moisture/Matic. A DC voltmeter is provided to indicate the voltage applied
to the metering roll motor, which will change from fast, medium or slow. The speed is selected
by comparing the actual moisture of the grain being discharged from the dryer to the moisture
Set Point.
As the grain moisture increases, the Moisture/Matic will slow the metering rolls down. The slower
grain movement will increase the time the grain spends in the dryer, which will reduce the
moisture. As the moisture nears the moisture Set Point the unit will switch from slow to main
speed. As long as the grain moisture is at or near the Set Point the main speed is retained.
Should the moisture start to get dryer, the unit will switch to high speed. The three speeds are
adjustable to match the dryer to the grain that is being dried.

Sensor Location and Cutout Instructions
Sensor Location
Locations for sensor installation are dependent on the following factors all being present for
proper operation. (See Figure 4A).
1. Installation in a six (6) or eight (8)" diameter auger or a flat bottom pan.
2. The auger can be horizontal, vertical or inclined. It is recommended that the clearance
between the flighting and the tube be 5/8" or less.
3. The auger must have a minimum of 225 bushels per hour flow rate of grain across the
sensor.
4. The auger must have one full pitch of flight before and after the sensor.
5. Avoid placing the sensor in a location that will be affected by condensation.
Note: If help is needed for sensor location, contact your DMC dealer.
Continuous Flow Dryers - Moisture/Matic Calc-U-Dri
Figure 4A Control Sensor Location - Order of Preference
a. Take-away auger.
b. Discharge auger - 1 full pitch of flighting before and after flighting. Flighting to tube
clearance less than 5/8". Condensation from dryer may affect sensor.
c. Discharge spout - Use a funnel-type of restrictor.
d. Column - Column sensor is usually in the lowest part of the heating section or in the
highest part of the cooling section (centered if all heat). There must be no restriction in
air flow near the sensor. Use column sensor bracket #602N175.

CAUTION
DISCONNECT POWER TO THE AUGER MOTOR BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER!
1. Look at the discharge tube and determine where the sensor can be located.
(See Figure 4C). There must be at least one (1) full pitch of flighting on the discharge auger
before and after the sensor to move the grain over the sensor blade.
Note: If the unit has a connecting band, determine if it can be removed and replaced with
a 12" long connecting band. If it is a structural supporting connecting band,
additional support may be needed during removal of the connecting band.

2. Position the sensor connecting band on the discharge tube so that the rectangular hole is
toward the discharge end. Mark the outline of the rectangular hole and the edges of the
band on the discharge auger tube. Cut a hole in the discharge tube eight (8)" long so the
outline of the rectangular hole is removed (stay inside the total overall length marks of the
band). Cut up one side of the discharge tube about one third (1/3) of the way around the
tube. This extra room is for ease of removing flighting in the next step. (See Figure 4B).
3. Replace the connecting band on the discharge tube in the same position as in Step 2
(above) and mark the flighting at each end of the rectangular hole. Weld the discharge
auger flighting to the shaft 3/8" beyond each of the marks. After the flight is welded at these
points, cut out six and one half (6-1/2)" of the flighting all the way to the center shaft.
4. Smooth all the rough edges from the cut area and position the sensor hole centered over
the six and one half (6-1/2)" area, then tighten the connecting band.

4. INSTALLATION
Figure 4E
Note: If there is more than 5/8" gap between the bottom pan and the outer edge of the
flighting, do not use a sensor in that location. Use another location, such as a
take-away auger. (See Figure 4F).
2. Remove the flat bottom pan and mark the sensor cutout area at least one (1) pitch length
of the auger from the discharge area. This allows for good pickup of the grain when it leaves
the sensing area. Cut the sensor rectangle 1-11/16" x 5-11/16" with a saber saw (do not
torch cut) and check so the sensor block fits into it with the stepped edge. (See Figure 4D).
3. Hold the pan up to the unit and mark the flighting where the sensor hole is located. Remove
the pan and mark the flighting about 3/8" away from marks just made, so the new marks
are six and one half (6-1/2)" apart.
Note: For seven (7)" flight or less, cut the flight to the shaft. Weld the auger flight to the
shaft at each end of the six and one half (6-1/2)" cutout marks, then cut out the six
and one half (6-1/2)" of flighting from the auger, leaving only the drive tube. For eight
(8)" or larger diameter flighting, one-half (1/2)" of flighting can be left as a ribbon
around the shaft in the cutout area. (See Figure 4E).
4. Smooth all the rough edges from the cutout area.

7. Securing the sensor to the flat pan will require modified clamps. Cut the end off the clamp
and mount it with a self-drilling screw to the tapered side so the screw tip goes under the
filler pieces added earlier. Attach the screw end of the clamp or the other side with a
self-drilling screw. Have the length such that the screw is beside the sensor as show in
8. When installing the sensor, follow the instructions on the sensor decal for the correct
direction of grain movement.
Sensor Cut-Out for Flat Bottom Down Spout
1. When using a down spout, there must be a constant density of grain flowing over the sensor
for accurate readings. This flow must be independent of the total flow or velocity of the
stream of grain. To do this, the installation of the restrictor spout or flats angled to create a
funnel is recommended.
The sensor should be located in an accessible location, so it can be periodically inspected
for trash buildup.
2. Cut a hole in the bottom of the spout (1-11/16" x 5-11/16") and drill two 5/16" diameter holes
for the hole, not a torch. Remove burrs and check so the sensor block fits into the stepped
edge.

of the grain stream. It is recommended that a restrictor be used to slow the grain speed over
Moisture/Matic Electrical Box and Sensor Installation Instructions
1. The Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic can be near the unit’s main control box, discharge auger, or
other locations that are easily accessible and of convenient height for you to observe and
use. Mount the electrical box using four (4) 5/16" x 1-1/2" bolts, lock washers and nuts.
2. Included with the Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic are 27 feet of one-half (1/2)" liquidtite conduit.
This is to be used to protect the sensor wire between the Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic box
and the sensor.
3. A 4 x 4 junction box, sensor wire, and liquidtite is available to extend the sensor wire up to
250 feet, if required. Determine the shortest distance from the sensor to the junction box.
Use the 27 feet of one-half (1/2)" liquidtite conduit and feed the sensor wire through it using
the connector provided. There should be six (6)" of sensor wire inside the junction box. Any
excess wire or conduit may be cut off. Be sure not to cut off too much since both the conduit
and the sensor wire need to be connected at the other end to the Moisture/Matic box.
4. Connect the Calc-U-Dri sensor wires in the 4 x 4 junction box to the top of the terminal strip.
The leads from the Moisture/Matic box go to the bottom of the terminal block. Be careful to
the junction box lid.

4. INSTALLATION
Figure 4O
5. Secure the Calc-U-Dri sensor wire to the inside of the Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic box with
the plastic “J” clips. Connect the sensor wires to the terminal strip marked “sensor”. Excess
sensor wire can be cut off. Be sure the sensor wire (stripped bare of insulation) is clamped
in the terminal and not on the insulation.
If more than one sensor is used, hook the sensor wires so that all like-color wires are under
one terminal post. (All black wires on terminal number one, etc.,). The correct dip switch
setting for the circuit board is described on the chart on page 45. Set dip switches 9 and 10
to the correct position according to the number of sensors used.
Note: The top terminal strip on the back panel of the Moisture/Matic is low voltage D.C.
Never hook A.C. power to this terminal strip.
6. Mount the sensor in the discharge tube by positioning the stainless steel flag toward the
grain, and the copper flag toward the discharge end. The flow of grain must follow the
arrows on the sensor decal. Be sure the sensor block seats fully into the rectangular hole
in the discharge auger tube. Fasten to the tube with strap bands. Fasten the grounding
strap from the sensor to the discharge auger tube by drilling a self-tapping screw through
the connector on the ground strap and back into the discharge tube in the area where the
flighting has been removed. Leave at least two (2)" between the sensor block and the
grounding screw.
Electrical Hook-up (See Figure 4P).
1. Disconnect the AC power from your dryer and lock-out the AC power to insure that it will
not start.
2. DC Voltmeter Hook-up: Use the 15 foot piece of five (5) conductor cable provided for the
hookup wire. Use liquidtite and proper fittings (not provided) to run between the Calc-U-Dri
and the SCR controller. On the SCR control board locate the leads going to the DC motor.
a. Attach the black wire, one of the conductors in the cable, to the positive motor lead (A1)
and the green wire to the negative motor lead (A2).

b. In the Moisture/Matic control box, locate the five (5) post terminal. This has “DC
Voltmeter” written on it. The green wire should be placed on terminal one (1) and the
black on terminal two (2).
3. Speed Control Hook-Up: Locate the three (3) leads on the SCR control board (in the dryer
control box) that are attached to the speed control potentiometer. (See Figure 4P).
a. Mark down the wire color and terminal as you remove the three leads. This can be used
for a test if problems should appear.
b. Determine the center lead from the speed control potentiometer. (This may not be the
center lead on the SCR board). Remove this wire from the SCR board and replace it
with the red wire in the five (5) conductor cable from the Moisture/Matic.

4. INSTALLATION
4. 115 Volts A/C Hook-Up
a. The Calc-U-Dri Moisture/Matic requires 115 Volts AC. This can be on an independent
circuit or taken from a control box which would automatically turn the Calc-U-Dri on
when the dryer is on.
b. The input 115 volts AC should be wired to the lower terminal strip as indicated by the
decal in the Moisture/Matic box (L1, N and Gnd).
5. Additional Signal Outputs
a. Signal 1 out and signal 2 out are located on the lower terminal strip. Each “signal out”
consists of ‘C’ (common), ‘NO’ (normally open), and ‘NC’ (normally closed) contacts.
These signals will operate when in the ‘Automatic’ mode and when the moisture of the
grain exceeds 1.3 percent over the moisture set point setting. These contacts can be
used on any accessory equipment or warning device that requires less than five (5)
Amps at 115 V AC.
6. The MCR relay output sends 110 VAC signal when the control power switch is set to
“control”. This allows for switching between the CUD and the “Dryer Control”. When the
control switch is in “Monitor” the MCR signal will not be present. This will allow monitoring
when using temperature based control or batch control.
7. The unload monitor will allow the printer to print only when the dryer is unloading. Terminal
6 on the unload monitor needs too have 110 VAC to enable the printer to print. If a dry
contact, such as in AUX is used, power may be used from terminal 5. If this feature is not
required, jumper may be placed between unload monitor terminals 5 and 6.
8. Check to make sure that all dryer safety switches are functioning correctly after the wiring
is complete.
CAUTION
NEVER APPLY AC VOLTAGE TO THE UPPER SENSOR TERMINAL STRIPS.
ALL WIRING MUST BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE.
ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND SHOULD BE TO
ALL CODE STANDARDS TO AVOID POSSIBLE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
GRAIN BINS AND/OR DRYERS WITH ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION MUST BE
GROUNDED.
DO NOT MODIFY OR BYPASS ANY SAFETY SHUTOFFS!

5. START-UP AND OPERATION
1. Place the Automatic/Monitor switch in the “Monitor” position and turn the Moisture/Matic
“ON”. The power indicator light should come on; if not, check the AC power input and/or
Trouble Shooting Guide. Place the control power switch to “Control”. The printer switch
may be in print or off.
2. Start up the dryer according to the manufacturer’s recommendations using the Main Speed
Control on the Moisture/Matic to control the metering roll speed.
Note: Turning the knob clockwise should increase the DC motor speed [higher DC
voltage on motor], and counter clockwise should decrease the DC motor speed
[lower DC voltage]. If this does not happen, reverse the wires on terminal posts
three (3) and five (5) in the back panel See Electrical Hook-up, Step 3
3. The Moisture/Matic may need to be calibrated to compensate for different grains and
sensor configurations.* Make sure that the calibration is set at zero before comparing the
displayed moisture values with the samples tested with a reliable moisture tester.
a. If the displayed moisture value is less than the moisture value from a moisture tester,
push the “Display Calibration” and turn the calibration adjustment knob until the display
reads the difference (+Value).
b. If the displayed moisture value is more than the moisture tester value, push the “Display
Calibration” and turn the calibration adjustment knob until the display reads the
difference with a minus sign (-Value).
* Push the “DISPLAY CALIBRATION” switch down and the display will show the
amount added to or subtracted from the displayed moisture (-9.9 to +9.9).
4. Grain samples should be taken on a daily basis to insure that the electronic equipment is
functioning correctly. Use a quality moisture tester that will provide repeatable accuracy.
CAUTION
To take a sample, a few simple guidelines should be followed.
a. USE A SAFE SAMPLING PROCEDURE. DO NOT SAMPLE FROM A HOPPER WITH
AN UNGUARDED AUGER. KEEP HANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM
ROTATING PARTS.
b. Take a sample when the digital panel meter is not changing rapidly.
c. Watch the meter while sampling and use the average reading: i.e., record the readings
of several samples, add the samples together, and divide the total by the number of
readings.

5. START-UP AND OPERATION
d. Why take several samples? The electronics average the grain moisture and therefore
it is possible to have a sample that is either wetter or dryer than the meter is reading (if
the meter is changing rapidly while sampling).
e. Take samples at the discharge, not from the storage bin, when monitoring a drying
operation. If you do not have a sampler at the discharge, contact your dealer and have
one installed. See the following (Calcu-U-Dri Moisture/Matic Sampling Chart).

Question : Where would you set the moisture offset, +0.3 or +0.6?
Answer : Most would want to set it to +0.3 which would make it match the point of
sale’s moisture reading.
5. The moisture Set Point is adjusted by turning the Set Point adjustment knob while holding
the “Display Set Point” paddle switch down. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the
moisture Set Point and counterclockwise will decrease the moisture Set Point (0 to 25).
Note: The Set Point will change whenever the knob is moved.
6. Adjust the main speed adjustment knob to the desired discharge rate. This is the typical
metering roll speed required to obtain the desired discharge moisture.
7. Switch the mode switch to “Automatic” and the Moisture/Matic will start to control the speed
of the dryer metering rolls. The dryer will operate at “Low” speed when the moisture content
displayed on the meter is wetter than 0.3 percent or more than the moisture Set Point. It
will operate at “Main” speed when the moisture displayed is within +0.3 percent or -0.3
percent of the moisture Set Point, and will run at “High” speed when the moisture is 0.3
percent or more below the moisture Set Point.

5. START-UP AND OPERATION
8. The amount of speed change from “Main” speed to either “Low” or “High” speed can be
varied by using the “Speed Adjustments” located by the indicators.
A speed change of approximately 15% should give good performance under most
conditions. However, some adjustments may be required to accommodate different drying
situations. For example, if the moisture content of the wet, undried grain is not very
consistent, then a wider speed change may be necessary.
To adjust the Low Speed or High Speed follow these steps:
a. Read the DC voltage in main speed and remember.
b. Move the moisture Set Point to force the unit into the High or Low Speed, whichever
you wish to adjust. (Note red indicators).
c. Locate the correct speed adjustment potentiometer, and with a screwdriver adjust to the
desired DC voltage.
Example
Want a 15% speed change from “Main” to “Low” Speed. Main Speed reads 50 Volts.
Force the unit to “Low” Speed and the voltage reads 30. Adjust the “Low” Speed
potentiometer to a new value of 42 Volts. Return the moisture Set Point to the original
value.
Note: If the main speed is changed, some readjustment of the low & high speeds may be
required to maintain the same speed change.
Note: Before leaving the dryer unattended, make sure that the output of the dryer in the
“High” speed range does not exceed the capacity of the dry grain take-away
equipment and that the output in the “Low” speed range provides enough grain to
cover the sensor blade.
