TM 5-3895-373-207.8.ADJUST/CALIBRATE CONTROL HANDLES - ContinuedA. CALIBRATE Continued.4. CALIBRATE RIGHT CONTROL HANDLEREVERSE THRESHOLD AND GAIN.a.Disconnect electrical connector P34 (6) (greenand white wires) on right control handle (7) fromelectrical connector J34 (8).b.Insert positive digital multimeter lead into rightcontrol handle (7) electrical connector P34 (6),terminal B.c.Insert negative digital multimeter lead intoelectrical connector J34 (8), terminal B.d.Move right control handle (7) 0.75 in. (19 mm)from neutral to reverse position. Use acombination square and the top of the handle asreferences.e.Digital multimeter should read between 6 to 8mA.NOTEThe forward threshold potentiometer(FT) and the maximum forwardthreshold potentiometer interact on eachother. An adjustment to eitherpotentiometer will require the othersetting to be checked.f.If meter reading is less than 6 mA or greaterthan 8 mA, using a jeweler’s screwdriver, adjustright control handle (7) reverse thresholdpotentiometer (RT). To increase, turn adjustmentscrew clockwise. To decrease mA reading, turnadjustment screw counterclockwise.g.Move right control handle (7) to full reverseposition.h.Digital multimeter should show an increasingoutput of 93 to 97 mA as right control handle (7)is moved away from center position.i.If meter reading is less than 93 mA or greaterthan 97 mA, using a jeweler’s screwdriver, adjustright control handle (7) potentiometer (RMAX)until reading between 93 mA and 97 mA isobtained. To increase, turn adjustment screwclockwise. To decrease mA reading, turnadjustment screw counterclockwise.j.Return right control handle (7) back to the 0.75in. (19 mm) position as in step d.k.Digital multimeter should read 6 to 8 mA.I.If meter reading is less than 6 mA or greaterthan 8 mA, using a jeweler’s screwdriver, adjustright control handle (7) threshold potentiometer(RT). To increase, turn adjustment screwclockwise. To decrease mA reading, turnadjustment screw counterclockwise.m.If any adjustment is made, recheck the fullreverse position.n.Return right control handle (7) to the center,neutral, position.o.Turn paving machine ignition to OFF whencalibration is complete.
