Metering Test Screen  This screen is useful in both R & D and 

development purposes when testing the 
metering performance of each feeder.   The 
user can perform a “Single Meter by Weight” to 
evaluate the mechanical standard deviation of 
the gate or auger.  This test meters for the 
calculated time based off the target weight 
entered on this screen.  The blender does not 
retry or adjust the time of the meter to reach the 
target, but instead always meters for the same 
amount of time as long as the target weight has 
not been changed.  This allows you to open the 
gate for several feeds using the same amount 
of time.  You can then record the Dispensed 
Grams and plot the standard deviation of the 
gate.  The other purpose of this screen is to 
verify that the dispensed weight displayed is 
correct.  You can perform a meter and then pull 
the weigh hopper to weigh the material on a 
gram scale.  The value on the screen should 
match the measurement on the gram scale.  If it 
does not, then either the weigh hopper is not 
balanced correctly or the scale calibration is not 
correct.  Refer to the Troubleshooting Section of 
this manual for additional details.
