Red Board Systems
Bringing Modern Technology
to Legacy Systems
Introducing the Red Board Systems Retrofit Kit
Upgrade your existing Quantum® or Spectrum® Grain Dryer with modern technology*
An easily installed retrofit kit which extends the life of your Quantum® or Spectrum® Dryer
The Red Board
The Red Board is a drop-in replacement for the Slave Board.
Red Box Controller
The Red Box Controller is the "brains" of the Red Board System and replaces the Quantum® monitor or Spectrum® Controller. To install, simply connect the already installed RS-485 communications cable from the dryer panel to the Red Box Controller and plug in the included power supply. The Red Box Controller will then provide a wireless connection to the Display Unit (i.e., the wireless tablet).
The controller includes up-to-date technology that will be upgradable for years to come.
And it's all available at an affordable price!!

Wireless Display Unit
The wireless display unit provides the dryer operator with the convenience of controlling all dryer parameters while not being restricted to a fixed location. Operation of the dryer may take place anywhere within the wireless range of the Red Box Controller (e.g., 25-40 feet).
This greatly eases initial setup of the Red Box Controller and allows the dryer operator to make any necessary parameter adjustments from a variety of on-site locations, including next to the dryer or the dryer panel itself.

Wireless Settings and Controls
The Settings and Dryer Configuration screens of the wireless display unit provide a logical hierarchy to find and set dryer parameters and options both easily and quickly.
The Dashboard of the wireless display unit gives the user real-time information with respect to many dryer settings and dryer operation states. Furthermore, the Dashboard has most settings easily accessed through "hot keys" that are located around the graph of moisture values.
Additionally, the Red Box Controller allows not only full manual control of the Dryer, but also allows the following Automatic operating modes as well:
• Moisture Based Continuous Flow Full Heat
• Moisture Based Continuous Flow Heat/Cool
• Temperature Based Continuous Flow AMC-T
• Time Based Batch Mode Full Heat
• Time Based Batch Mode Heat/Cool

FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor™
with Focused Active Sensing Technology™
• Rapid Infrared Sensor
The built-in infrared sensor provides near-instantaneous temperature readings for grain passing over the sensor. This allows for reduced sensor lag time by practically eliminating the need for the sensor housing itself to "warm up" to the grain around it, thereby giving a more accurate moisture reading early in the drying process.
• Easy to See LED Indicators
The built-in LED indicators indicate at a glance (and at a distance) whether the FAST Moisture Sensor™ is operational or not. The LED indicators will be off if no power is supplied to the sensor, will remain solid if there is a potential issue, and will blink periodically when data is being read and transferred back to the controller.
• Durable
The FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor™ housing is made from UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), which is highly resistant to abrasion, is self-lubricating, and provides a very low coefficient of friction. This allows for grain to pass easily over the surface of the sensor while providing a substantially increased lifespan compared to many other sensors on the market.
• Quantum® and Red Board System™ Compatible
The FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor™ works out-of-the-box with the Red Board System™, and is an aftermarket replacement for Quantum(R) Dryer Controller moisture sensors. There is no need to configure the sensor for either system, since the sensor automatically detects the required data format. For Quantum(R) Dryer Controllers, the built-in LED indicator will light up GREEN, and for Red Board Systems™ the indicator will light up RED.
