18. CONVEYOR BELT SPEED CALIBRATION
The conveyor belt requires calibration to properly align the speed control knob on the Gas Control Box.
Calibration is done by timing the belt as it passes between two timing marks located on the conveyor frame.
This method will work regardless of belt travel direction. Follow the instructions below.
A.
Remove the adjustment knob of the conveyor belt speed control (see page 10) using a small,
standard screwdriver to loosen the setscrew.
B.
Locate the two timing marks as shown. The marks are 7 inches apart. If the timing marks are NOT
present, use a black marking pen to mark the frame in the same manner.
C.
These distances represent exactly ¼ of the length of the cook chamber: ¼ x 28 cook chamber = 7.
D.
With this 1:4 ratio, it is possible to calibrate the belt speed. For example:
1.
For a cook time of 1 minute, the time required to pass between timing marks would be: 60
seconds / 4 = 15 seconds. If the belt passes from one mark to the next in 15 seconds, this is
exactly the same as a 1-minute cook time.
2.
For a cook time of 6 minutes, the required time to pass between timing marks would be: 6
minutes x 60 seconds / 4. This equals 360 seconds / 4 = 90 seconds between marks. The
belt needs to take 90 seconds (1-1/2 minutes) to move from one mark to the next to equal a
6-minute cook time.
