Dryer Master DM510 Commissioning Guide
System Components
The DM510 system includes the following components:
•DM510 control panel (with remote I/O option)
•Inlet and outlet grain moisture sensors with integral product temperature sensors
•Calibration push button
•Outlet moisture sensor chute with rotary feed (bypass or inline version)
•Drying air temperature sensor or signal converter (to access dryer’s temp reading)
•Internet connectivity capability (or optional modem connectivity)
An optional printer for continuous reporting of dryer operation and results is also available.
DM510 Control Panel:
The DM510 is a computer system complete with user interface keypad and the display screen, I/O
system and the capability to provide real time information through an internet connection to an
internet capable device. The DM510 Control Panel is typically installed in the control room close to
the dryer where it can be readily accessed by the operator. The I/O can be located remotely using a
wired connection for short distances or a wireless connection for longer distances (requires optional
wireless modems).
Printer (Optional):
The DM510 uses the printer to provide reports such as: Continuous Averages, Hourly Summaries,
and Daily Summaries etc. These are tools that can be used to manage the total drying process.
Inlet Moisture and Temperature Sensor:
The inlet moisture and temperature sensor is installed in the flow of the product before it enters the
drying zone (hot zone) of the dryer, typically in the garner or holding bin above the hot zone.
Outlet Moisture and Temperature Sensor:
The outlet moisture and temperature sensor is installed where it can receive a representative
sample of grain after it exits the cooling zone of the dryer (or the hot zone, if drying all hot).
Calibration Push Button:
The calibration button is installed near the operator sampling point for product exiting the dryer,
usually in close proximity to the outlet moisture sensor.
Drying Air Temperature Sensor/Signal Converter:
A temperature sensor is installed in the heating chamber in close proximity to the dryer’s existing
drying air temperature sensor to monitor the drying air temperature and provide the information to
the controller. Some systems will use a temperature signal converter in place of the temperature
sensor.
Internet Connectivity Capability:
Connect your DM510 to an internet enabled router or wireless hotspot (via Ethernet cable) and you
can access your system remotely via a desktop PC, smartphone or tablet. Simply use your browser
to go to my.dryermaster.com and login using the login information that came with your system.

Dryer Master DM510 Commissioning Guide
System Checkout (General):
Before we start configuring the DM510 to your dryer let’s begin with a system checkout which will
walk you through the wiring and connections at the DM510 side of the installation. This will include
checking voltages and testing functions. This section will describe in detail the steps and procedures
for completing this task. Should issues arise with wiring at the sensor or dryer please refer to the
Installation Manual for more detailed instructions.
Starting-Up the Dryer Master
The “DM510 User’s Guide” provides detailed information on the DM510 key pad functionality
as well as the information displayed on the LCD screen or via the status lights. We suggest
you take a few minutes to review this information before beginning the Commissioning
process.
Before you turn the DM510 on
If you have the optional printer, plug the printer into the power outlet and connect the
printer cable to the bottom of the DM510. Put the ribbon and paper in the printer if this has
not already been done.
Powering Up the Dryer Master
Plug the Dryer Master into the wall outlet or UPS if so equipped. At the bottom of the
DM510 panel there is a black switch/fuse. Depress the switch ON, (position 1 is depressed),
When the DM510 is first turned on there will be a blank screen for 20 - 60 seconds. The
display will brighten up, and the backlight will illuminate. There may be random characters
on the screen. In 10 to 30 seconds, both the alarm and mode lights will flash. The ‘Mode’
lights will sequence followed by the red alarm lights sequencing. Alarms may sound and the
‘Dryer Master’ logo will display on the screen. This will be followed by the display of the main
operations screen, possibly with an alarm message box. Press any key to clear the alarm
message box and silence the alarm. Alarms may also occur once the main display is up.
Press any key to silence the alarm(s).
The DM510 screen will initially show that you are in ‘Local’ Mode. This means that the
DM510 is not yet controlling anything (control is still at the dryer panel). It is simply
monitoring and displaying information.
There may still be alarm lights and possibly mode lights illuminated. This is normal because
the DM510 comes with factory settings that may be different than the settings which will be
used at your location.
Set Products
The DM510 can be set up to be used for up to 8 different products. For each product that
you dry there are certain parameters that you will want to enter separately. These include
settings like moisture calibrations and alarm limits. This manual will point out which of the
settings are product specific as you go through the commissioning process.

Page | 8
Dryer Master DM510 Commissioning Guide
The icon and text at the bottom right corner of your screen tell you what the current product
is. To change products, press the ‘Product’ key and select the desired product and press
enter. Refer to the “User Guide” for detailed instructions on changing products.
Perform a Printer Test (for systems with a printer)
To perform a printer test, press the PRINT button on the keypad and then select (4) Print
Test Page. If the page does not print, check that the printer cable is securely connected at
both ends and that the printer is on.
Setting Alarm Limits
The DM510 comes with an alarm feature that can help you to monitor the drying process.
High and low alarm limits can be set for inlet moisture, outlet moisture, drying air
temperature, discharge rate and inlet and outlet product temperatures. For each alarm limit
there are two stages of alarm. The first stage is a warning alarm and the second stage is a
critical alarm. Each stage has an upper and lower limit.
It may be necessary to first set the alarm limits at wide limits during the commissioning
process (so they are not always going off) and then reset them during operator training to a
state that is compatible with the operation of the dryer. This is best done with the operators
during training.
To adjust the Alarm settings press the “Alarms” button and follow the on screen instructions
or refer to the User’s Guide.
Voltages
In the next section you will be asked to check the connections on the DM510. The
instructions assume the use of a digital voltmeter. However it is also possible to check some
of the voltages directly from the DM510 panel.
To access the voltage readings, press the SETTINGS key and then select (1) Diagnostics to
get to the first diagnostics screen. Additional diagnostic screens can be accessed by pressing
the down arrow key.

Dryer Master DM510 Commissioning Guide
System Checkout (Specific):
Use this section to check that the installation has been completed correctly and to troubleshoot any
components that may not be displaying as they should be.
Checking the Moisture Sensors
Use a Digital Voltmeter set to DC Volts to measure the DC voltage between GND (Black) and the
three other wires (Green, Red and White) at the connectors plugged into the isolation card in the
DM510 Dryer Master.
The voltages should fall within the ranges shown in Table 1 - Moisture Sensor Voltages. Voltages are
measured with respect to ‘GND’; both sensors will yield similar results when empty.
The moisture
sensors’
temperature
readings are also
displayed on the
‘Main Operations

These tests are performed with the DM510 in ‘Local’ mode. In ‘Local’ mode the DM510 sets the ‘Rate
Out’ signal proportionately to the ‘Rate In’ signal. The default setup is such that 100% rate
approximately equals 10 volts. The ‘Rate Out’ signal is governed by the high and low control limits
and may not be able to reach 0VDC or 10VDC. Refer to Figure 12 - Settings (Supervisor Setup)
Control Limits menu for setting the control limits.
1. If there is no ‘Rate In’ signal, the dryer is not running or there is an issue with the wiring.
2. There is a Rate indication on the DM510 ‘Main Operations screen’. The Rate changes as the
dryer panel speed potentiometer is adjusted, but the speed displayed on the DM510 ‘Main
operations screen’ is not the same as indicated by the dryers speed display. A calibration of
the rate signal is required at the DM510 to correct this discrepancy. This will be covered in
detail later in this guide.

Checking Fan Status signals
The Fan Status signal provides the DM510 Dryer Master a direct indication of the dryer’s state of
operation. In systems where this signal is not available the Dryer temperatures falling below the
‘OFF’ temperature parameter setting and the rate falling below the ‘OFF’ rate parameter setting
indicate to the DM510 that the dryer has been shut down.

Dryer Master DM510 Commissioning Guide
System Setup & Calibration
System setup and calibration involves setting a number of parameters to tune the DM510 Dryer
Master to the dryer. This section will describe in detail the steps and procedures for completing this
task. There will be checks to verify the steps have been performed correctly. The system setup can
be performed completely from the Dryer Master DM510 keypad and console. A calculator is
required.
Gaining entry to system setup parameters
Access to the Supervisor setup menus and screen as well as the Installer setup menus and screens
are protected by numeric passwords. This is to prevent the casual user or just anyone from
inadvertently adjusting the systems setup values. There are different passwords for the supervisor
setup and the installer setup. These passwords are hard coded and therefore not changeable by
the user.

Type in the ‘value’ followed by the ‘Enter’ key.
(See chart below for guidelines on values to use.
You should set these up separately for each
different product that you dry)
•Press ‘Cancel’ to return to the ‘Previous Menu’.
Max Discharge rate in Auto
This is the maximum discharge or unload rate that can be set by the
DM510 Dryer Master. Set this value to a reasonable maximum that will
not compromise safe dryer operation. Setting this value ensures the
conveying system is able to manage the volume of product.
Min Discharge rate in Auto
This is the minimum discharge or unload rate that can be set by the
DM510 Dryer Master. Set this value to a reasonable minimum that will
not compromise safe dryer operation.
Discharge Off Rate
The DM510 Dryer Master uses this value along with drying temperature
to determine the dryer state. Set this value to slightly less than the
‘Minimum Discharge rate in Auto’. Automatic control will be severely
compromised if this value is set so that the DM510 does not obtain an
OFF indication. Do not set = 0.
Burner Off Temperature
The DM510 Dryer Master uses this value along with discharge or unload
rate to determine the dryer state. Set this to a value greater than the
maximum expected ambient temperature but less than the minimum
drying temperature. Automatic control will be severely compromised if
this value is set so that the DM510 does not obtain an OFF indication.
Typically set about 30 degrees F below your drying temperature.
Auto Fast Start
In normal operation the DM510 Dryer Master determines when it is
ready for Automatic operation. This process can take from a few
minutes to a dryer load or more. The Auto Fast Start feature bypasses
the DM510 feature that determines stable operation. With Auto fast
start the DM510 Dryer Master can be placed into Automatic before the
‘Ready light’ is illuminated. A warning message with instructions will be
displayed when selecting Automatic before the ‘Ready light’ is
illuminated. Standard setup is 0 = Normal

Remote Alarm Activation Delay
The DM510 Dryer Master provides a contact for an external remote alarm.
The delay provides the user with time to cancel the system alarm before the
remote alarm is activated.
The time is set in seconds.
Set Rate to minimum when the
burner shuts OFF.
Note:
This feature, when enabled, (‘YES’ displayed and the ‘Remote light’
illuminated) will reduce the dryer discharge rate to the minimum
value previously entered in the ‘Control Limits’ menu ‘Min Discharge rate in Auto’
value. The Burner OFF trigger is either the ‘Burner Off Temperature’ value or a
wired connection.
Set Rate to minimum when the
inlet has been empty for 25
minutes.
Note:
This feature, when enabled, (‘YES’ displayed and the ‘Remote light’
illuminated) will reduce the dryer discharge rate to the minimum
value previously entered in the ‘Control Limits’ menu ‘Min Discharge rate in Auto’.
Set Rate to minimum when the
Dryer Fan shuts OFF.
Note:
This feature, when enabled, (‘YES’ displayed and the ‘Remote light’
illuminated) will reduce the dryer discharge rate to the minimum
value previously entered in the ‘Control Limits’ menu ‘Min Discharge rate in Auto’
value.
This feature only functions if the Dryer Fan run signal is wired to the DM510
Dryer Master. The DM510 will not properly control the discharge if enabled
without the Dryer Fan signal.
Note:
The Alarm Actions are CRITICAL for proper system operation. Review and adjust
as required. The Dryer Master is not a substitute for improperly functioning
Dryer safety equipment. If in doubt do not enable these items.

Inlet calibration bias (offset)
Outlet 1 calibration bias
(offset)
Outlet 2 calibration bias
(offset) –only in cases with 2
outlet sensors
The displayed value is a bias or offset applied to the combined
temperature and dielectric signals returned from the DM510
moisture sensor. Adjusting this value has a direct impact on the
displayed moisture value on the ‘Main Operations Screen’ The
DM510 calibration procedure also has an impact on this and other
values when calibrations are performed.
Before adjusting this value cancel any calibration in progress and
note the displayed bias value.
Example of Inlet calibration adjustment:
DM510 Inlet reading = 26.5%
Manual test = 21%
The DM510 needs to read 5.5 lower.
26.5 - 21 = 5.5
Reduce the ‘Inlet calibration bias (offset)’ value by 5.5
8 –5.5 = 3.5
Outlet adjustments are made similarly. To increase the displayed
moisture reading the displayed bias value needs to be increased
by the required amount. To decrease the displayed moisture
reading the displayed bias needs to be decreased by the required
amount. It should be noted the bias value can be a negative
number.
Note:
Adjusting the calibration values impacts the displayed moisture readings. A
change in the moisture readings will have an impact on control. It is best to
return the DM510 to manual control before making adjustments to the sensor
calibrations.
