A Safety Information

A1 General safety instructions

The HYDROMAT TK - MP 101 controller is a system for use in industrial production facilities. During operation, this equipment has parts which carry dangerous live current. Thus, for instance, in the event of unauthorised removal of required safety devices or in the event of improper servicing this equipment can cause harm to persons or property. Those responsible for the safety of the system must therefore ensure that: - only qualified, trained personnel are entrusted with the assembly / installation, the work with equipment components and the carrying out of periodic maintenance and inspection of the equipment components. - the operating manual supplied with the system and the other necessary

- product documentation must be constantly available to these personnel - for all work on and with the measuring system. These personnel are to be - made responsible for consistently applying and complying with the con- - tents of these documents.

Qualified personnel are those who, based on their education, experience and special training and on their knowledge of relevant standards, regulations, accident prevention rules and operating conditions, have been authorised by those responsible for the safety of the system to carry out the required operations, while recognising and being able to avoid possible dangers [in accordance with VDE (Association of German Technical Engineers) 105 or IEC 364]. Among other things, knowledge of first aid procedures and of the local life-saving equipment is also required. These safety instructions make no claim to completeness. In case of questions or problems please speak with our specially authorised personnel, who will be glad to provide you with information. 4/2005 A 1

A 3 Other risks The Hydromat TK-MP 101 is a state-of-the-art computerised automated control system. All safety engineering aspects have been taken into account, as far as lies within the control of the manufacturer of the system. No responsibility can be assumed for damage or unfavourable drying results caused by the following factors, which are beyond the control of the manufacturer of the automated control system. Therefore the user must carefully comply with the following instructions:

Hazard from dangerous electrical voltage! Opening of a measuring unit, the computer monitoring unit by inappropriate personnel (not service personnel), failure to take safety precautions (e.g. failure to switch off main switch) or carelessness can result in extremely serious

and possibly fatal injury of the person involved. When switching off the controller by the main switch, the power supply to the electric actuators for heating, spraying, venting is also switched off. Therefore, care should be taken that all electric valves have been closed before, otherwise an open heat valve may lead to overheating of the kiln load causing harm to persons or property. To avoid overheating of the dryer in case of a power failure, it is recommended to install an overtemperature protection device independent of the controller, and auto-matic closing electric valves at dead power line.

Unforeseen events, unsatisfactory environmental conditions and carelessness can lead to falsification of the measurement results and thus to damage to the drying timber, to the control system or to the kilns:

Possible mistakes during transport, assembly and installation – A fall to the ground can result in considerable damage to the control cabinet. Protective measure: Due care during transport.

– Improperly arranged measuring points. Protective measure: Exact compliance with this Operating Manual.

– Moisture (rain, condensation, etc.) inside the control cabinet. Protective measure: Dry ambient conditions.

– Interference from e.g. high-voltage lines affecting the measuring cables; interference affecting the measurement sensors. Protective measure: Taking into account possible sources of interference when carrying out assembly / installation, suitable shielding.

– Insufficient ventilation of the control cabinet. Protective measure: Correct installation.

– Vibrations may lead to damage of the controller. Protective measure: Vibration-free placment of the controller.

4/2005 A 5


Important user information

It is recommended that the computer system be left switched on even when operations are interrupted for a lengthy period, since otherwise the contents of memory can be lost.

In addition, it must generally be kept in mind that automated control systems do not fundamentally alter the technical capabilities of a timber kiln (e.g. air flow, distribution of air humidity and temperature conditions inside the kiln, insulation characteristics, tightness of dampers and doors, etc.), nor can they improve unfavourable operating conditions (insufficient heating capacity, unsuitable spraying steam, etc.)

Thus care must be taken that in addition to a satisfactory condition of the kiln itself, the heating capacity of the kiln or the boiler capacity is designed so as to ensure a constant kiln temperature even in the case of fresh air intake. Furthermore, no superheated steam should be used for spraying, since this can lead to an uncontrolled increase in temperature during the spraying phases, possibly resulting in damage during drying.

Only when the state of the kiln and the operating conditions meet the necessary basic requirements can a fully automated control system - particularly a computerised fully automated control system - be completely effective in realising its control engineering potential, so as to optimise the drying process in accordance with the given conditions. The basic requirements include arranging the stacks in a satisfactory manner so as to fill the space in the kiln, with the screening off of any existing empty spaces.

In the standard program, the suggested nominal values for the control of the drying process are based on empirical values, and are selected so as to ensure a satisfactory drying quality under normal conditions. However, it is not possible to guarantee this. If, due to extremely unfavourable operating conditions, the desired drying quality is not obtained, the user can at any time adapt the program to the pre- vailing conditions, however it must be kept in mind that a more moderate drying program (e.g. with a smaller drying gradient or a lower drying temperature generally necessitates a longer drying time.

GANN HYDROMAT TK-MP 101 - Instruction Manual __________________________________________ B General Information on kiln drying timber B 1 Automatic control by GANN Hydromat controllers The complete program of this series is designed to meet every conceivable require-ment, so as to permit optimal technical and commercial solutions to all problems which can arise in the domain of timber drying. In order to satisfy diverse customer demands with regard to the operating and setup requirements of a control system, the HYDROMAT program provides for a great variety of control types and customisable features. Depending on their requirements, users can choose for themselves the degree of automation, as well as the operating requirements and setup options. Depending on the specific application and on customer demands, semi-automated, partially automated or fully automated measurement and control systems can be employed. In virtually all types of automated control, the decisive principle of opera-tion during the drying cycle is the continuous, direct measurement of the wood mois-ture content, the wood equilibrium moisture content and the temperature in the kiln. The wood moisture content is determined (at measuring points the number of which varies with the version of the automated control system) by measuring the electrical resistance by means of stainless steel electrodes which are inserted into the timber to be dried. The measured values obtained are displayed directly as percentages, and in the range from 0 to 120°C are temperature-compensated completely automa-tically. In order to avoid electrolytic decomposition and to prevent corrosion in the area of the measurement electrodes, direct current with alternating polarity is used in measuring the wood moisture content. The wood equilibrium moisture content (also referred to as “equilibrium moisture content” or “EMC”) is a decisive concept in the field of timber drying. The equilibrium moisture content (EMC [%]) refers to the moisture content attained by wood which has been stored for a sufficient period at a given constant temperature and constant relative humidity. The state of equilibrium is considered to have been reached when the weight ceases to change. Different combinations of temperature and relative humidity correspond to different equilibrium moisture contents. The equilibrium mois-ture content is dependent on temperature, relative humidity, wood species and pre-treatment. In addition, the level of the equilibrium moisture content depends upon whether the wood loses water (desorption) or gains water (adsorption). The equilibrium moisture content is higher in the case of desorption than in the case of adsorption. The measurement techniques used by the GANN control systems to record the wood equilibrium moisture content employ a special procedure developed by GANN technical engineers, which has replaced the conventional, cumbersome methods of psychrometric measurement used in former years (measurement of wet and dry temperatures, from which the equilibrium moisture content was calculated): 4/2005 B 1

GANN HYDROMAT TK-MP 101 - Instruction Manual __________________________________________ The wood equilibrium moisture content of the atmosphere of a particular kiln is determined directly via a sensitively-reacting special EMC sensor which measures electrical resistance and displays the values (fully temperature-compensated) as per-centages. The special EMC sensor contains a thin chip of wood of a representative species of wood suitable for timber-related atmospheric measurement. Another variable important for timber drying is derived directly from the direct, continuously-recorded measured values for wood moisture content and equilibrium moisture content: this variable is the drying gradient (also referred to as “drying velocity” or “drying potential”). The drying gradient, which is calculated from the relevant ratio of moisture content to equilibrium moisture content, (Drying gradient = Moisture content : Equilibrium moisture content) is specified in the GANN control systems before the beginning of the drying cycle, taking into account the species of wood, and is automatically refined during the drying process in accordance with the material being dried and the stage of the drying cycle. Since this control process permits the drying progress to be governed by the wood itself, so to speak, it ensures the fastest possible, faultless, high-quality drying even of types of wood which are otherwise difficult to dry. It guarantees that the desired final humidity is in fact reached by the end of the drying cycle. With other types of control, which operate according to a preset schedule or in conjunction with so-called “artificial measuring points” or the like, there is inevitably the danger that charge-specific characteristics will not be taken into account during the drying process. The timber can be subject to damage because the pre-specified program is unsuitable for it, or the drying cycle can be uneconomically prolonged because the actual decrease in moisture content is greater than forecast. Due to the fact that in the range of wet measurements the electrical resistance changes only insignificantly with increasing moisture content, it must in general be kept in mind that measurement techniques do not allow high initial moisture content to be determined with the same precision as moisture content below the wood fibre saturation point. However this factor plays no role with respect to the GANN control principles since the above-mentioned drying technology relationship between the wood moisture content, the equilibrium moisture content and the drying gradient is valid only in the range below the wood fibre saturation point (ca. 30% moisture content); and only in this range is the relationship fully exploited by the control technology. In the section of the drying cycle where the moisture content exceeds this range, a special control method for the wood equilibrium moisture content is used, based on empirical values derived from many years of experience with timber technology. This method gives the highest priority to the wood species and wood thickness. The measured wood moisture content plays only a supplementary role, and all necessary control data for the equilibrium moisture content are calculated by the automated control system itself.

4/2005 B 2


B 2 Functional description of the drying process (Corresponding to fully automatic control) Drying process The run of the drying process is basically divided into the five individual phases: 1. Heating-up phase 1 (break-up)

2. Heating-up phase 2 (warming-through)

3. Drying in

4. Equalizing / cooling down

5. Complete drying

B 2.1 Heating-up phase 1 (Break-up) Heating-up phase 1 serves to prepare the wood and break up the wood structure. This is realised by a low temperature and a relatively high wood equilibrium moisture content (EMC).

In order to ensure a sufficient absorption of water by the air, the kiln is heated to a minimum temperature of 25°C, and only then is the spraying turned on. The damper is completely closed during the break-up phase. After the completion of heating-up phase 1, the system automatically proceeds to heating-up phase 2.

B 2.2 Heating-up phase 2 (Warming-through) In this phase the wood is warmed until it reaches the initial temperature for the drying process. A lower equilibrium moisture content is used, accompanied by a marked reduction in spraying.

After the completion of heating-up phase 2, the system proceeds automatically to the drying phases.

B 2.3 Drying During the drying phases, the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) is continuously reduced as the wood moisture content decreases. This is done in accordance with the specified drying gradient (ratio M.C. : EMC).

In addition, as the wood moisture content decreases, the kiln temperature is gradually raised until it reaches the specified end temperature.

The wood moisture used to govern the drying process can be the mean or maximum value of several measuring points or the value of any individual measuring points. After the desired final humidity has been reached, the system proceeds to the “condi-tioning” or “equalizing” phase, or else proceeds directly to the “cooling down” phase.

4/2005 B 3


B 2.4 Equalizing / Cooling-down The actual drying phase is followed by an equalizing phase. During this phase both temperature and EMC are controlled, whereas the heating is switched-off. After lapse of the equalizing time a cooling-off phase is started during which the heating and spraying systems remain closed whereas the dampers are kept open. Once the cooling-off temperature has been attained, the fans are switched off and the controller proceeds to phase 5. B 2.5 Drying completed After completion of the drying cycle, the system remains in phase 5 until a new drying cycle is started by selecting phase 0. If the drying process shall be continued after phase 5 has be reached, e.g. since the selected measuring points were not representative for the drying load, it is necessary to restart in phase 0. Once the fans are running and the controller proceeds to phase 1, one can manually change to phase 3 to continue the drying cycle and use other measuring points.

C 2 - Assembly instructions

Caution: Non-compliance with the following directions may cause damage to the timber as a result of falsified readings as well as to the controller itself.

1. Power supply has to be provided by a shielded separate line directly from the main distributor to the controller in order to avoid influence of interference. No other consumers must be connected to this supply line. By no means should the power supply be provided from the fan control cabinet, because malfunctions that can be generated by contactors and other electric components cannot be completely filtered out.

2. It is recommendable to install a voltage stabilizer (capacity 40 VA) or an interruption-free power supply unit for computer systems.

3. The ambient temperature should be between +10 °C and +40 °C, and the ambient air humidity should be kept between 20 % and 80 % RH.

4. The controller should be located where there are no large machines or high-voltage power lines in the immediate vicinity, In addition, excessive dust or steam is to be avoided. Fig. 1

4/2005 C 4

Fig. 1 shows how the wall connectors (2) for the MC and EMC measuring points are to be mounted. Note in particular that the spacers supplied (3) have always to be used. Where moisture condensation may drip on the sockets or sensors, provide a cover, particularly over the EMC probe. For reasons of proper insulation, exclusively the twisted two-conductor cable included in the delivery should be used for connection of the MC and EMC measuring points. Fasten the cables inside the kiln with the cable strings which may be used to mount several cables in a bundle except that for connection of the temperature probe which. should be run separately. Keep the lines always away from piower cables, provide a clearance of at leats 0.5 m (2 ft.). The measuring cables may be run through the kiln wall in a common conduit of plastic or aluminum tubing, sealed with silicone compount on the inside of the kiln, left open to the outside to prevent formation of condensate. Outside the dry kiln, the measuring cables should be run to the controller in a metal

tube or flexible metal hose that has to be connected to the casing of the controller. Here too, keep away from power lines. Inside the wall duct and outside the kiln the cable of the temperature probe can be run in the same tube with the cables of the MC and EMC connecting cables.

Unlike prefabricated all-metal or brick-built dry kilns, in which disturbing influences are kept from the measuring leads, wooden or panel-built drying chambers do not function as a screened room. Therefore, the measuring leads must be run also inside the drying chamber in grounded metal tubes.

For ventilation and to avoid formation of condensation, the tubes must be mounted with a slight slope and fitted with ventilation gaps (e.g. at the corners).Further, they must be grounded by connection with the casing of the controller. In place of a metal tube, a channel iron open on top can also be used to shield the measuring leads.

Do not run connection cables of MC and EMC measuring points through other kilns or in a common tube with the cables of measuring points installed in other kilns.

Measuring leads must not be run above an existing false ceiling or close to the fans.

C 3 Electrical Connections Danger: Endangering by dangerous electric tension! Poor safety precautions and carelessness can lead to serious injury or death.

The mains supply (shielded) and the control lines for the final control elements, the actuator / fan interlocking and the fan shutdown must conform to the enclosed connection plan. A con-ductor cross section of 1.5 mm² Cu is sufficient.

Special attention must be paid to proper earthing of the complete system. It may be necessary to provide a separate earth wire to a perfect earth.

The control system is designed for connection to 230 Volt AC single phase unless stated

GANN HYDROMAT TK-MP 101 - Instruction Manual __________________________________________ otherwise. It can be adapted to accept other voltages (e.g. 120 Volt) on request

The fan circuit must be wired up in such a way that, while fans are running, zero is applied to terminal 9 of the plug St2 on the relay module. After fans are stopped, zero must not be applied anymore.

In case of failure, a voltage of 230 V (phase L1 of control voltage) is applied to terminal 2 of the plug strip St1 on the relay module.

The terminals for connection of the actuators to the computer can be found in the diagram of the relay module The maximum admissible load for the output relays is 5 A / 120 – 230 V.

D2.1 Inputting the drying data

Caution: Entering an incorrect species number can result in damage to the drying timber.

Before the drying data can be entered, the main menu must be called up by pressing the "previous screen" or "next screen" key:

Species no. 176 Thickness 20 mm Final M.C. 10% tBU: 2 tEQ: 2 Ph: 0

By pressing the "up-arrow" or "down-arrow" key, the cursor (input indicator) can be moved to the line in which an entry is to be made. Numerical values are input for the species number (100 to 327), wood thickness (20 mm to 140 mm), final moisture content (4% to 25%), phase (0 to 5), break-up time (1 to 99) and equalizing time (1 to 99). The input must be confirmed by pressing the "Return" key, so that the values are entered into the computer for processing. The break-up time and equalizing time can be increased or decreased. If the times have been increased above the original values proposed by the software, they will be followed by a "+" sign; if they have been decreased, they will be followed by a "-" sign. In order to return to the original value, "0" must be input, followed by "Return". The species number is entered on the top line. The greatest care must be taken in entering this 3-digit code, since it is used to determine the temperature, drying gradient and other important drying parameters. Entering an incorrect species number can result in damage during the drying process. A table containing all of the valid species numbers can be found in the appendix of the instruction manual. The 3-digit species number is entered as follows: For example, input "207" followed by "Return". Pressing the "Return" key confirms the input. If you have input the number incorrectly, you can correct it by inputting the correct species number and pressing the "Return" key again. Pressing the "down-arrow" key moves the cursor down one line. On the second line, a wood thickness value from 20 mm to 140 mm can be input, e.g.: "50" followed by "Return" Pressing the "down-arrow" key again moves the cursor down one more line, so that the final moisture content (4% to 25%) can be entered, e.g.: "8" followed by "Return"

03/2005 D 4


On the following line the break-up time (tBU), equalizing time (tEQ) and drying phase (Ph) can be input. If a new drying cycle is to be started, the value "0" must be input for the phase, followed by "Return". This specifies the "prepare drying cycle" phase. As soon as the fans have been switched on, the controller automatically advances the drying cycle from Phase 0 to Phase 1 ("break-up"). The individual phases of the drying cycle are as follows: Table 2

5 Drying cycle completed

Values for the duration of the break-up time and the equalizing time are proposed by the software, but can be changed by the operator. This is done by using the "up-arrow" or "down-arrow" key to move the cursor to the relevant line, e.g. equalizing time (tEQ). The time is then input, e.g. "12" for 12 hours, followed by "Return". To select semi-automatic operation, move the cursor to the "species number" position and input the value "943", in order to change the mode of operation. Following this, the desired species number must be entered. Menu 6 (the main menu for semi-automatic operation) will then be displayed. To return to fully automatic operation, the value "943" must be re-entered in the "species number" field, in order to change the mode of operation. Menu 1 (the main menu for fully automatic operation) will then be displayed. Following this, the desired species number must be entered.

A measuring point can be marked (selected) by pressing the "*" key. Pressing the "*" key again deselects the measuring point. If all of the measuring points have been deselected, measuring point M1 will automatically be selected to govern the drying cycle.

Caution: If a control element such as heating is in manual operation and is set to "On" (+), the heating will be constantly on until an "Off" (-) command is given manually, or until the system is returned to automatic operation. Care must be

taken, since this can result in excess temperatures and serious damage to the drying timber and the kiln! In the case of manual operation with the heating set to "On", the automatic control system is no longer able to shut off the heating.

The control elements can be set manually via the keyboard. This replaces the manual/automatic switch that was used with earlier controllers. The current functioning of the control elements (heating, dampers and spraying) is displayed in the right-hand column. In the menu shown above, the heating is set to automatic operation and the valve is receiving an "On" (+) signal. The dampers are set to manual operation. The symbol "0" means that at the moment the dampers are not receiving an "On" or "Off" signal, but are remaining in their current position. Spraying is set to automatic operation and is currently "Off" (-). The control elements can be set by using the "up-arrow" and "down-arrow" keys to move the cursor (input indicator) to the appropriate line, and by then pressing the "*" key repeatedly until the desired function is displayed. For instance, if the heating is to be shut off manually, the cursor must be moved to the line with the heating symbol (H) by means of the "up-arrow" or "down-arrow" key. The "*" key must then be pressed repeatedly until "Hm-" is displayed on the screen. D2.2.1 Determining whether the mean or peak value will govern the drying cycle If the input indicator is positioned at a measuring point marked with "*", the value governing the drying cycle can be changed to the peak value by pressing the "9" key. The "*" symbol in the display will be replaced by a "^" symbol. Pressing the "9" key again changes the value governing the drying cycle back to the mean value of the selected measuring points. In the display, the "^" symbol will be replaced by the "*" symbol. If the drying process is governed by the peak value, the controller always selects the measuring point indicating the highest moisture content in order to control the drying cycle.

D2.3 Nominal values menu Pressing the "next screen" key again calls up Menu 3:

TBU 40.0 °C EBU 13.2%

TWT 50.0 °C EWT 11.5%

TB 50.0 °C DG1 3.0

TE 65.0 °C DG2 3.4

The following parameters are displayed: TBU: Break-up temperature (temperature in Phase 1); TWT: Warming-through temperature (temperature in Phase 2); TB: Initial drying temperature (temperature at the beginning of Phase 3, when the wood moisture content is xx% or more); TE: Final drying temperature (temperature at the end of Phase 3, when the wood moisture content is yy% or less); EMC BU: Equilibrium moisture content in the break-up phase (Phase 1); EMC WT: Equilibrium moisture content in the warming-through phase (Phase 2); DG1: Drying gradient when the wood moisture content is 30% or more; DG2: Drying gradient when the wood moisture content is 10% or less. The nominal values are proposed by the software, based on the wood species and thickness that have been input. The operator can leave these proposed values unchanged, or can modify them. For instance, in order to change the temperature in the break-up phase from 40 °C to 45 °C, the "up-arrow" and "down-arrow" keys must be used to move the cursor to the position at which the input is to be made. Then "45" is input, followed by "Return". Similarly, the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) can be changed from "13.2%" to "12%", and the drying gradient for a wood moisture content of 30% or more can be changed from "3.0" to "2.6", following the same method as is used to change the temperature. If a nominal value is to be reset to the value originally proposed by the software, "0" must be input, followed by "Return". The original value is then selected and reappears on the screen.

03/2005 D 8

GANN Hydromat TK-MP 101 Instruction Manual The modification of the nominal values is monitored by the system. Changes must fall within the following limits: Break-up temperature: Minimum value: 25°C Maximum value: 20% higher than the original proposed value Warming-through temperature: Minimum value: Break-up temperature Maximum value: 20% higher than the original proposed value

but not greater than the initial drying temperature

Initial drying temperature: Minimum value: Warming-through temperature Maximum value: 20% higher than the original proposed value but not greater than the final drying temperature Final drying temperature: Minimum value: Initial drying temperature Maximum value: 20% higher than the original proposed value EMC in the break-up phase: Minimum value: 20% lower than the original proposed value Maximum value: 25% higher than the original proposed value EMC in the warming-through Minimum value: 20% lower than the original proposed value phase: Maximum value: EMC in the break-up phase DG1: Minimum value: 50% lower than the original proposed value Maximum value: 25% higher than the original proposed value DG2: Minimum value: 50% lower than the original proposed value, but not lower than the drying gradient for a wood moisture content of 30% or more Maximum value: 25% higher than the original proposed value

In the second line of the settings menu (Menu 4), it is possible to specify whether or not the drying cycle is to be shut down in the case of insufficient EMC in the drying phase. If the value "1" is entered, indicating "yes", then the drying cycle will be shut down in the case of insufficient EMC. However, if "0" is entered, indicating "no", the drying cycle will continue. In the third line, the hourly rate at which the temperature is to be increased can be specified. (A value of 3 °C/h to 30 °C/h can be entered.) In the fourth line, for the parameter "Spraying period/pause" a value of 0 to 99 can be entered. The value "99" specifies continuous spraying, while a value of "40" indicates timed spraying, where spraying occurs for 40% of the nominal spraying time and no spraying occurs 60% of the time. D2.5 Printer/time menu

The display "Printer on" or "Printer off" in the top line of the printer menu (Menu 5) indicates whether the automatic printout is currently switched on or off. If no printer is connected, the printing function should be set to "Stop", and "Printer off" should appear in the display. If the cursor is moved to the first or second line of the menu by means of the "up-arrow" or "down-arrow" key, the automatic printout can be switched on and off by pressing the "*" key. The date and time are input and displayed on the fourth line. The cursor can be moved to this line by means of the "up-arrow" or "down-arrow" key. The date and time can then be input. They must be input in full and then confirmed by pressing the "Return" key.

03/2005 D 10


D2.6 Menu for semi-automatic mode In semi-automatic mode, nominal values are preset for the temperature, EMC and time. The controller then maintains the temperature and EMC at the preset values for the specified time. During this time, the drying cycle is in Phase 3. After the drying time has elapsed, the controller initiates Phase 5 (drying cycle completed), switching off the fans and control elements. If the "up-arrow" and "down-arrow keys" are used to move the cursor to the "species number" line in the main menu for fully automatic operation (Menu 1):

Species no. 176 Thickness 20 mm Final M.C. 10% tBU 2 tEQ 2 Ph: 0

and then the number "943" is entered, the controller will switch to semi-automatic operation. Menu 6, the main menu for semi-automatic operation, is then displayed:


The species number is input in the first line (see table in the appendix), the temperature in the second line, and the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) in the third line. The EMC value must be input including the digit following the decimal place; however, the decimal point itself does not need to be input. In the preceding example, "12.0" is entered by inputting "120" and then pressing the "Return" key. The fourth line displays the period of time which is to elapse before the kiln is switched off. For the time (34 hours in this example), the number of hours can be entered. If zero is entered, the temperature and EMC are maintained at the preset values for an unlimited time (continuous operation). The figure in brackets indicates the number of hours during which the temperature has already been maintained at the preset nominal value (i.e. higher than 5 °C below the nominal value). The controller initiates Phase 3 and maintains the temperature and equilibrium moisture content at the preset values for the specified time. The controller then initiates Phase 5 and completes the drying cycle, switching off the fans and control elements. In order to return to fully automatic mode, the number "943" must first be re-entered, before the actual species number is input. As is the case with the other menus, pressing the "up-arrow" or "down-arrow" key moves the cursor up or down one line, respectively. The numerical values which are input must be confirmed by pressing the "Return" key.

03/2005 D 11


D2.6a Heat treatment of the wood in semi-automatic mode When the SW5 DIP switch on the processor board is set to "ON", the menu below will be displayed following the Printer menu:

Wood temperature Nominal ["C] 56 Measured ["C] 68.7 Time [h:m] 12:45

For the wood temperature, a nominal value from 20 °C to 99 °C can be input. If the wood temperature exceeds this value, a timer is activated (Time [h:m]). The timer continues to count the minutes as long as the measured wood temperature exceeds the nominal value. If the measured value falls below the nominal value, the timer is reset to zero. If the controller is in semi-automatic mode, the kiln is automatically switched off when the specified period of time for heat treatment at the selected temperature has elapsed. During the heat treatment, the SW6 DIP switch on the processor board must be set to "ON" in order for the wood temperature to be monitored precisely in relation to the desired nominal value. If this DIP switch is set to "OFF", the air temperature rather than the wood temperature will be monitored (in relation to the nominal value minus 5 °C).

03/2005 D 12


D2.7 Fully automatic mode In fully automatic mode, all of the required drying phases are carried out automatically, and manual intervention is unnecessary. An exact description of the individual drying phases is provided in Section B2. D3 Beginning of the drying cycle

Important: Before the beginning of the actual drying cycle, the operations described in Sections D5 and D6 must be carried out!

When all of the required inputs have been made, the drying cycle can be initiated by switching on the fans at the kiln fan control cabinet. If the contents of memory have not been erased after completion of the previous drying cycle, because all the input data are also valid for the new drying cycle, the drying cycle can be initiated by switching on the fans as described above, after Phase 0 has been selected. In fully automatic mode, the controller then automatically initiates Phase 1; in semi-automatic mode, it automatically initiates Phase 3. D4 Error messages D4.1 Excess temperature

dd.mm/hh:mm Tr too >

This error message is displayed in Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 no later than 30 seconds after the measured temperature exceeds the current nominal temperature by more than 10 °C. All control elements are shut down, but the fans continue to operate. The error message continues to be displayed until the "*" key is pressed. If the error condition persists after the "*" key has been pressed for the first time, the error message will reappear after 30 minutes. If the error condition is not eliminated, the error message will reappear a short time after the "*" key is pressed again. The symbols which appear in the "excess temperature" error message have the following significance: dd: Day on which the error first occurred; mm: Month in which the error first occurred; hh: Hour in which the error first occurred; mm: Minute in which the error first occurred; Tr too >: Measured temperature exceeds nominal temperature by more than 10 °C.

03/2005 D 13


D4.2 Insufficient EMC

dd.mm/hh:mm EMC too <

This error message is displayed in Phase 3 no later than 30 seconds after the measured EMC falls below a value 3% lower than the current nominal EMC. The error message continues to be displayed until the "*" key is pressed. The error message is then deleted from the display. If the error condition persists after the "*" key has been pressed for the first time, the error message will reappear after 30 minutes. If the error condition is not eliminated, the error message will reappear a short time after the "*" key is pressed again. If the EMC deficiency persists for more than 30 minutes, all control elements are shut down and the fans are also switched off (in fully automatic mode). The symbols which appear in the "insufficient EMC" error message have the following significance: dd: Day on which the error first occurred; mm: Month in which the error first occurred; hh: Hour in which the error first occurred; mm: Minute in which the error first occurred; EMC too <: Measured EMC has fallen below a value 3% lower than the nominal EMC.

Important: EMC deficiency monitoring is enabled when the question in

Menu 4, "Shutdown at too low EMC (yes=1, no=0)", is answered by "1", signifying "yes".

03/2005 D 14


D4.3 RAM error

dd.mm/hh:mm RAM Err.

This error message is displayed in all phases, no later than 30 seconds after a memory error has occurred. All control elements are shut down, but the fans continue to operate. The error message continues to be displayed until the "*" key is pressed. The error message is then deleted from the display. If the memory error persists for more than 30 minutes, the error message reappears and the fans are also switched off. The symbols which appear in the "RAM error" message have the following significance: dd: Day on which the error first occurred; mm: Month in which the error first occurred; hh: Hour in which the error first occurred; mm: Minute in which the error first occurred; RAM Err: Memory error

Important: If the error occurs repeatedly, the memory must be erased. Subsequent reappearance of the error message indicates a

serious fault. (Notify customer service.)

D4.4 Monitoring the temperature sensor Error message:

dd.mm/hh:mm Tmp.def.

The symbols which appear in this error message have the following significance: dd: Day on which the error first occurred; mm: Month in which the error first occurred; hh: Hour in which the error first occurred; mm: Minute in which the error first occurred. This error message is displayed when a break or short circuit is detected in the temperature sensor. The controller first shuts down all three control elements. The fans are also switched off if the error condition has not been eliminated within 30 minutes.

03/2005 D 15


D4.5 Monitoring the EMC

dd.mm/hh:mm EMC.def.

The error message: 'dd.mm/hh:mm EMC.def.' is displayed if a faulty EMC value has persisted for more than 5 minutes. All three control elements are then shut down. The symbols which appear in the error message have the following significance: dd: Day on which the error first occurred; mm: Month in which the error first occurred; hh: Hour in which the error first occurred; mm: Minute in which the error first occurred.

03/2005 D 16


D5 Stacking the timber prior to drying

Caution: Faulty stacking can result in damage to the drying timber! Improper positioning of the stickers can lead to warping of the timber!

If possible, a kiln load should consist of timber which is approximately uniform in terms of species, thickness and initial moisture content. If this requirement cannot be met, the drying cycle should be governed by the material which is the most difficult to dry, although this will result in prolonged drying times and hence increased drying costs for the other timber. Proper stacking of the timber prior to drying is essential in order to ensure satisfactory drying results. The timber is usually stacked on transfer cars (kiln trucks) or, in the case of short boards such as parquet friezes or pre-cut blanks for the chair-making industry, on pallets. Timber that is already properly stacked in the yard need not be restacked, but can be loaded by the package onto transfer cars or directly into the kiln by means of a forklift. In either case, the dimensions of the stacked packages must correspond to the internal dimensions of the kiln. It has proven to be advantageous to use packages with standard lengths that are compatible with the length of the kiln. For instance, for a kiln 10 m in length, two packages each 5 m long can be used. Boards less than 5 m long should then be stacked alternately flush with the two ends of the stack, so as to form a rectangularly stacked package with no open spaces in the cross-section of the kiln. If open spaces are unavoidable, they are to be covered by means of baffles. The thickness and spacing of the stickers is dependent upon the thickness of the timber to be dried. Table 3

Board thickness (mm)

Sticker thickness

30 - 40 25 20

40 - 60 30 25

60 - 80 35 30

80 - 120 40 35

The sticker spacing should be 400 mm to 700 mm for timber less than 30 mm thick, 500 mm to 1000 mm for timber 30 mm to 60 mm thick, and 700 mm to 1200 mm for timber thicker than 60 mm. The sticker spacing can also be determined by the kiln design, e.g. in the case of laterally mounted fans. The appropriate sticker thickness is essential in order to ensure sufficient circulation of the air. Special care should therefore be taken in selecting the stickers. In a kiln charge, the stickers should all be the same size, and should be positioned directly above one another. Improper positioning of the stickers inevitably results in warping of the boards during drying.

03/2005 D 17

GANN Hydromat TK-MP 101 Instruction Manual Stickers cut from sound spruce or fir boards are recommended. If possible, the timber should be stacked so that the length and height of the kiln are fully utilized. This is particularly important in the case of cross-ventilated kilns. In the case of longitudinally ventilated kilns, it is not necessary to fill the whole length of the kiln, but if possible the kiln cross-section should be fully utilized. In addition, every effort should be made to ensure that the stacks are flush at both ends, since the stickers that are flush with the ends of the stack can prevent cracking. Furthermore, spring clamps applied to the top layers of boards during the drying process can prevent warping of these boards.

03/2005 D 18


D6 Setting up the measuring points D6.1 Wood moisture measuring points The measuring points should be set up in such a way that the drying cycle is governed by the part of the kiln charge with the highest moisture content or, in the case of marked variations in initial moisture content, by the parts with the longest expected drying time. If the measuring point electrodes are installed during stacking, they should be positioned in the middle of the stack. If the kiln charge has already been stacked, edge pieces can be pulled out on one side and fitted with electrodes before the charge is loaded into the kiln. Edge boards immediately adjacent to the air inlet side should not be used. In the case of squared timber, it is advisable to position the measuring points in the outer zone of heartwood boards. Electrodes with lengths of 10 mm, 15 mm, 25 mm and 40 mm are supplied for measuring the moisture content of timber of various thicknesses. The depth of penetration should be at least one-third, but not more than one-half of the thickness of the wood. Drive the pairs of stainless steel electrodes into holes 3 mm in diameter predrilled across the grain. (Prepare the holes using the hand drill supplied with the controller.) The electrodes are to be positioned 3 cm to 4 cm apart. Use the electrode tool (socket wrench) supplied for inserting and extracting the electrodes. Use the measuring point cable to connect the electrodes to the connector mounted on the kiln wall.

03/2005 D 19


D6.2 EMC measuring point

Caution: The EMC sensor must be replaced after every drying cycle. Failure to replace it can result in incorrect measurements, which can lead to damage to the drying timber.

The EMC is measured by means of an atmosphere probe into which a thin specimen of a standard reference wood (white afara) is clamped. Since the afara specimen, which serves as the EMC sensor, must be replaced after every drying cycle, EMC sensors for 50 drying cycles are supplied with each controller. Additional sensors can of course be ordered from the factory at any time. Sensors can also be prepared by the operator, as follows: Plane a white afara board, approximately 30 cm in length, on both sides to a thickness of 25 mm with a tolerance of ±0.5 mm. Use only sound, thoroughly air-dried (seasoned) wood. From this board, cut strips along the grain 1 mm wide with a tolerance of ±0.1 mm, and then break off pieces approximately 3 cm in length. The afara specimen must be clamped in the electrode holder with the grain running at right angles to the clamping blades. Tighten the knurled nuts to the stop, and then plug the electrode holder back into the wall connector socket provided for EMC measurement. Fig. 3 Arrangement of measuring points in the kiln

Figure 3 illustrates a typical measuring point arrangement in a kiln without fan reversal. There are four wood moisture measuring points, one EMC measuring point, and one temperature measuring point.

03/2005 D 20


D6.3 Wood temperature sensor (optional) In order to measure the core temperature of the wood, a hole with a diameter of 6 mm and a depth of approximately 50 mm must be drilled in one of the boards. The wood temperature sensor must be inserted into this hole:

03/2005 D 21


D7 Special programs D7.1 Erasing the memory

Important: After the memory is erased, all of the data including the species number, wood thickness, final moisture content, etc., must be re-entered.

The memory must be erased when the controller is used for the first time and when memory errors occur. The memory can be erased by switching on the controller via the main switch while keeping the "0" key depressed. The following menu then appears on the LCD display:

RETURN: to erase RAM *: to preserve RAM

D7.3 Setting control time constants

Caution: Control time constants are necessary in order to regulate the fundamental control processes of the controller. Modification of these constants by personnel lacking the required knowledge and experience can result in serious

damage to the drying timber and the kiln! Modifications must therefore be carried out only by qualified service personnel! This program can be called up by switching on the controller via the main switch while keeping the "next screen" key depressed. The following menu then appears on the LCD display:

HT DP Spr (0/1) 0

TV 2 2 Hea (0/1) 1

TN 2 2 Dpr (0/1) 1

K 20 20 Air (m/s) 2

The times TV (HT), TN (HT), K (HT), TV (DP), TN (DP), K (DP), and Air (1 m/s to 4 m/s) may be changed only by qualified service personnel. (The values shown above correspond to the factory settings.) In the right-hand column, the top line can be used to change the type of spraying from cold water (0) to steam (1) spraying. In the second line of the right-hand column, the heating control can be set to ON/OFF operation (0) or PID operation (1). In the third line of the right-hand column, the damper control can be set to ON/OFF operation (0) or PID operation (1). In the fourth line, the measured air speed can be input.

03/2005 D 24


D7.4 Setting the kiln number and the maximum temperature

Caution: Setting the maximum temperature in relation to the kiln numbers is necessary in order to regulate the fundamental control processes of the controller. Modification of these data by personnel lacking the required knowledge and

experience can result in serious damage to the drying timber and the kiln! Modifications must therefore be carried out only by specially trained service personnel! This program can be called up by switching on the controller while keeping the "previous screen" key depressed. The cursor can be moved to the desired input position via the "up-arrow" and "down-arrow" keys. Inputs must be confirmed by pressing the "Return" key.

KILN NO. 1

MAX.TMP 95 "C

DMP.TMP 12 "C

CoolFactor 2

In order to exit this program, the controller must be switched off and then on again. All inputs and values proposed by the software are restricted by the maximum temperature value entered here. The damper interlocking temperature DMP.TMP can be set to a value of 5 °C to 15 °C. The dampers will then remain closed unless the measured temperature in Phase 2, 3 or 4 falls by more than the specified amount below the nominal value. CoolFactor (cooling factor): If the cooling phase lasts too long, e.g. in tropical regions with a high ambient temperature, the cooling phase can be terminated on the basis of a time criterion. For this purpose, a CoolFactor value can be entered in this setup menu, if it is desired that Cooling time = Cooling factor * Equalizing time shall be used as the switching-off criterion. The cooling factor can be set to a value of 1 to 98. The switching-off criterion is then: Switching-off time = Equalizing time * Cooling factor For example:

03/2005 D 25

GANN Hydromat TK-MP 101 Instruction Manual Equalizing time = 2 h Cooling factor = 3 Switching-off time = 2 h * 3 = 6 h If the cooling factor is set to 98, the switching-off time will therefore be at least 98 hours (in the case of an equalizing time of 1 hour), i.e. in practice switching off will occur only after the measured temperature has fallen below the cooling temperature. If the cooling factor is set to a low value such as 1 or 2, the drying cycle will automatically advance from Phase 4 to Phase 5 after the specified time has elapsed, even if the measured temperature has not yet fallen below the cooling temperature.

03/2005 D 26


E Servicing and Maintenance

Caution: If cleaning, servicing and inspection instructions are not followed, this can lead to erroneous measurement results and hence to damage to the drying timber and to the control system.

Before beginning a new drying cycle: - All connecting cables, wall connectors and plugs should be carefully checked. Monthly cleaning and checking The cable insulation and the insulating parts of the EMC electrode holder, and also the wall connectors must not be damaged.

Dust and other deposits, e.g. deposits due to exudations of the timber, must be removed. Accumulations of dust inside the control cabinet, if present, must also be removed, preferably using compressed air. Semi-annual inspection: Checking readings

Danger : Hazard from dangerous electrical voltage! Failure to take safety precautions and carelessness can lead to serious injury or even death. Inspections are to be

carried out only by qualified service personnel! Enter wood species code 156. Call up the menu for displaying the measured values.

Connect a 1 megohm resistor to the two connecting terminals of a wood M.C. measuring point on the amplifier board. The measured values displayed must then be 31.5 % (with a tolerance of +1 %) at a temperature of 0 °C and 28.0 % at a temperature of 20 °C.

When a 10 megohm resistor is connected, the values displayed must be 23.8 % at 0 °C and 20.9 % at 20 °C.

When a 10 megohm resistor is connected to the terminals of the EMC measuring point, the measured value displayed for the EMC must be 19,7 % at 0 °C and 17.2 % at 20 °C.

When a 100 ohm resistor is connected to the temperature sensor connection sockets, the temperature displayed must be 0 °C. To perform this test, bridge terminals 1 and 4 as well as 2 and 3 of the connector for the temperature probe on the signal amplifier module and fit one end of the resistor to terminal 1+4 and the other one to terminals 2+3.

E 1 Safety measures for repair work

Danger: Hazard from dangerous electrical voltage! Failure to take safety precautions and carelessness can lead to serious injury or death! All necessary repair

work on this control system, particularly on the electrical components, is to be carried out only by qualified service personnel! If it becomes necessary to replace an electronic assembly in the control cabinet, the con-trol system must first be turned off by means of the main switch, before the defective assembly is removed and a replacement assembly is inserted. Damaged connecting cables of M.C. or E.M.C. measuring points must under no circum-stance be replaced with ordinary commercial cables with lower quality insulation. Use of such cables can lead to measurement and control errors.
