CALIBRATE
RIGHT
CONTROL
HANDLE
REVERSE THRESHOLD AND GAIN.
a.
Disconnect electrical connector P34 (6) (green
and white wires) on right control handle (7) from
electrical connector J34 (8).
b.
Insert positive digital multimeter lead into right
control handle (7) electrical connector P34 (6),
terminal B.
c.
Insert negative digital multimeter lead into
electrical connector J34 (8), terminal B.
d.
Move right control handle (7) 0.75 in. (19 mm)
from
neutral
to
reverse
position.
Use
a
combination square and the top of the handle as
references.
e.
Digital multimeter should read between 6 to 8
mA.
NOTE
The forward threshold potentiometer
(FT)
and
the
maximum
forward
threshold potentiometer interact on each
other.
An
adjustment
to
either
potentiometer will require the other
setting to be checked.
f.
If meter reading is less than 6 mA or greater
than 8 mA, using a jewelers screwdriver, adjust
right
control
handle
(7)
reverse
threshold
potentiometer (RT). To increase, turn adjustment
screw clockwise. To decrease mA reading, turn
adjustment screw counterclockwise.
g.
Move right control handle (7) to full reverse
position.
h.
Digital multimeter should show an increasing
output 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 greater
than 97 mA, using a jewelers screwdriver, adjust
right control handle (7) potentiometer (RMAX)
until reading between 93 mA and 97 mA is
obtained. To increase, turn adjustment screw
clockwise.
To
decrease
mA
reading,
turn
adjustment screw counterclockwise.
j.
Return right control handle (7) back to the 0.75
in. (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 greater
than 8 mA, using a jewelers screwdriver, adjust
right control handle (7) threshold potentiometer
(RT). To increase, turn adjustment
screw
clockwise.
To
decrease
mA
reading,
turn
adjustment screw counterclockwise.
m.
If any adjustment is made, recheck the full
reverse position.
n.
Return right control handle (7) to the center,
neutral, position.
o.
Turn paving machine ignition to OFF when
calibration is complete. Refer to TM 5-3895-373-
10.
