5. Connect the ground wire (A) for the Moisture Sensor to the rear auger bearing plate as shown in Figure 2H.

6. Run the shielded wire (B) connected to the Moisture Sensor through the grey flex conduit supplied. Connect the conduit to 90° conduit connector already installed on the Moisture Sensor.

7. Connect another 90° conduit connector to the other end of the grey flex conduit and connect that to the white junction box on the leg gusset as shown in the Figure 2I, then feed the shielded wire down the EMT conduit forward to the “T” junction box. Then feed shielded wire through the black flex conduit and connect conduit to the Moisture Manager control box.

8. To mount the plenum thermocouple, knock out one of the prepunched wholes in either the front or rear column end panels. Be sure to knock out a hole for the plenum and not the grain column.

9. To mount the weather sensor, find a location away from any heated air coming from the dryer (conduit is not needed for the weather sensor cable). Feed the cable through the 1-3/32" diameter hole in the bottom of the control box and secure with the electrical screw bushing.

10. Put cable ties approximately every 4'' to hold all loose wires and cables in place. Do not tie any of these wires to AC leads. Cut off cable tie ends.

After all the components, conduits and wire are in place proceed to the electrical connections starting with Step 1 on Page 12.


3. Electrical Connections

1. Strip back the shielding on the cable for the Moisture Sensor (installed in Step 4 on Page 9) and strip insulation 1/4" for the individual wires and connect them to the terminal strip according to the decal below it (i.e. green to GN.)
