How It Works
What do the Guardian Grain products do?
Guardian Grain products can be used to control the bin fan(s), based on desired air temperature (using the Control Box) and humidity (using the OS/PL Sensor). When you control the fan, you control the moisture of the grain in the bin and less grain monitoring is required.
Why is that important?
When the warm air meets cool grain, condensation occurs on the grain, and the grain crusts over. Most of the problems in the bin start on the top surface of the grain with condensation. When the fans operate with the correct air temperature and humidity until the Headspace Sensor verifies the exhaust air temperature and humidity the grain is ready for storage. The Headspace Sensor can be set to control the fans when the grain is being stored.
Installation Guide
Network Requirements
Wi-Fi is required for the devices (sensors and switches) on the bin.
- If your Wi-Fi isn't currently available at your bin site, Wi-Fi range extenders & Wi-Fi hotspot from mobile phone carrier are both an excellent option for getting Wi-Fi to reach your bins.
To use the Guardian Grain app from Shelly Cloud, a smart phone, tablet or pc computer is required.
