Red Board Systems

In the agricultural industry, precision and reliability are paramount—especially when it comes to grain drying operations. Moisture control not only affects product quality but also impacts energy consumption, throughput, and long-term equipment performance. Red Board Systems addresses these challenges with its FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor™, a cutting-edge solution designed to deliver accurate, real-time moisture readings using Focused Active Sensing Technology™.

🌡️ Rapid, Real-Time Moisture Detection
The FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor’s built-in infrared technology enables near-instantaneous temperature readings of grain as it passes over the sensor surface. This rapid response minimizes lag time, allowing operators to make timely adjustments during the drying process. Unlike traditional sensors that require thermal equilibrium with surrounding grain, the FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor’s design eliminates the need for warm-up periods, resulting in more accurate moisture readings early in the drying process.

💡 Intelligent LED Feedback
Operational clarity is a key feature of the FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor. Integrated LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on sensor status:
– Blinking indicates active data transmission
– Solid light signals potential issues
– No light denotes a lack of power and/or lack of communication

This intuitive system allows operators to monitor sensor health at a glance—even from a distance.

🛡️ Built for Durability and Compatibility
Constructed from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW), the sensor housing is abrasion-resistant, self-lubricating, and offers a low coefficient of friction. This ensures smooth grain flow and extends the sensor’s operational life compared to conventional alternatives. The flat-plate design virtually eliminates debris buildup across or on the sensor itself.

The FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor is also plug-and-play compatible with both Red Board Systems™ and Quantum® Dryer Controllers. It automatically detects and adapts to the required data format, simplifying installation and reducing setup time. LED indicators even change color based on system compatibility—green for Quantum®, red for Red Board Systems™.

🔄 Reverse-Polarity Protection
To safeguard against wiring errors, the FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor includes reverse-polarity protection circuitry, reducing the risk of damage during installation or maintenance.

📈 Operational Impact
By integrating the FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor into grain drying systems, operators can expect:
– Improved moisture accuracy from the start of the drying process
– Reduced energy consumption through optimized drying cycles
– Lower maintenance costs due to robust construction
– Streamlined control via real-time feedback

For agricultural professionals seeking a reliable, high-performance moisture sensing solution, Red Board Systems’ FAST Infrared Moisture Sensor offers a compelling blend of speed, durability, and intelligent design. It’s a smart investment in both product quality and operational efficiency.
