  • Does the system have an approved incoming moisture sensor?

  • Does it have an approved after-drying moisture sensor?

  • Does it have an approved bale moisture sensor?

  • Does it automatically control heater temperatures?

  • Does it control the moist air generator for the lint conditioning system (if applicable)?

  • Does it record data for at least the past 12 hours?

  • Qualified operators, training, and personnel oversight
