TM 5-3895-374-10 2.  Feeder Calibration Item Procedure 1 If feed rate from any one bin is to exceed the 50 tons per hour selected during aggregate scale calibration the following changes must be made. 2 Open the bin gate on all feeders that will feed greater than 50 tons per hour. 3 The gates should be raised (opened) one inch per 10 tph.  (i.e.-a 7 inch opening will result in an expected maximum feed rate from the bin of approximately 70 tph). 4 Do not select a greater feed rate than the expected maximum. -Keyboard press ESCAPE -utilities (8), calibration (6), feeder rates (8). -edit (00) -enter the expected maximum feed rate for the bin being calibrated -ESCAPE -By aggregate sample (4) 5 Select feeder (1), enter feeder number to be calibrated. 6 Do these 3 in sequence starting with feeder one. 7 Enter feeder 1. 8 ESCAPE. 9 Set test parameters (4). 10 Enter the anticipated flow rate at the normal plant production rate for the bin selected.  (i.e. mix design  requires  40%  course  aggregates  and  asphalt  production  rate  of  150  tph  the  selected feeder for the course materiel will feed 60 tph). 11 Enter the moisture content for the materiel to be metered from this bin. 12 Enter  the  test  time  interval.    (It  is  recommended  that  this  interval  should  not  be  less  than  six minutes and need not exceed 15 minutes.) 13 Press START for the following motors: Feed Conveyor Scalping Screen Gathering Conveyor page 2-90
