FUNCTION KEY DESCRIPTION (refer to control panel photo, lower right)
[ ] key powers the scale on and o . When you turn the scale on the display will rst show
99999 and will go through a quick count down and display to 0.0 GN (grain mode). "Stable"

unplugged.
GO: Press [GO] key to dispense the powder once you have entered a given charge. Or press
key to stop during dispensing. Pressing [GO] again will resume dispensing.
ZERO: Key is used to re-zero the scale. For example, to weigh powder in a powder pan, you
would rst place an empty pan on the scale platen and press [ZERO] key to re-zero the scale. This will automatically subtract the weight of the pan from the scale.
POWDER: There are four default powder dispense speed settings (1-4), refer to table in full manual, Appendix 1 (pg. 16). These will work in either Standard or
Match Mode. Switching from Standard to Match or Match to Standard will automatically switch to the correct default set of parameters.
To set dispense speed, press the appropriate number key, followed by the [POWDER] key. Typically Large to Small Extruded powders would be run at the slower
dispense speeds while Ball and Flake type powders would be run at the faster dispense speeds. Keep in mind there are many di erent powder types with di erent
kernel weights and shapes which attribute to di ering ow rates. This prevents some powder types from being run at the faster dispense settings. For example, if
you try to run a Large Extruded powder at a Powder Dispense Speed of 4, you will experience an overcharge condition. On the other end of the spectrum, if you
run a Ball type powder at a Powder Dispense Speed of 1, the dispense speed will be extremely long. The following speeds are available :
1. Powder Dispense Speed 1 (Slowest Dispense Rate)
2. Powder Dispense Speed 2
3. Powder Dispense Speed 3
4. Powder Dispense Speed 4 (Fastest Dispense Rate)
Example: To select a powder dispense speed of 2, press [2] key, followed by [POWDER] key.
TRICKLE : Hold it to manually to dispense the powder.
CANCEL: Clear the data or stop the operation.
CAL: Key is used to calibrate the scale. You should calibrate
your scale each time you begin a new reloading session. See
the calibration section (full manual) for more details.
UNITS: Key switches scale from GN (grains) to GMS (grams).
The default is GN.

mode, match/standard mode, Bluetooth, powder type and
sound (buzzer). To access and change menu settings, the
