To run a %Change material test: 
1.  Run the belt empty 
2.  Perform a zero calibration 
3.  Put the BW500 and BW500/L into RUN mode  
4.  Record the BW500 and BW500/L total as the start value _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
5.  Run material at a minimum of 50% of design rate over the belt scale for a minimum of 5 
minutes 
6.  Stop the material feed and run the conveyor empty 
7.  Record the BW500 and BW500/L total as the stop value _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
8.  Subtract the start value from the stop value to determine the BW500 and BW500/L total 
9.  Weigh the material sample if not already known 
BW500 and BW500/L total = _ _ _ _ _ _ _  
material sample weight = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
Calculate the span adjust value 
 
% span adjust = (BW500 - material sample weight) x 100/ material sample weight
