OHAUS 5-0-2 Instruction Manual

UNPACKING AND SETUP
Your ʺ5-0-2ʺ scale is packed in a specially designed carton to provide maximum
protection. Unpack the scale carefully to avoid damaging components. (See illustration
below.)
Place the base on a reasonably flat and level surface.
To position the beam in the base, hold it horizontally with the copper damper vane
pointing upward, as shown in (A). Slide the pointer end of the beam behind the right
edge of the dial plate. Rotate the beam, as shown in (B), so that the damper vane
moves into the slot in the housing. Lower the center pivot onto the bearings as
illustrated in (C). Hook the pan support assembly in the end loop on the extreme right
of the beam, illustration (D). Put the pan in place.
Note the way the pan support cradles the pan. This feature makes it possible to weigh
long, heavy objects such as cases and loaded cartridges without tipping the pan off its
support. The pan support may also be rotated within the wire hanger for a more
convenient handle position.
Your ʺ5-0-2ʺ is now ready for use.
CAUTION!
The end loop MUST not be bent or twisted when unpacking. In order for the scale
to operate properly:
 Both sides of the end loop MUST be parallel to the beam.
 The end loop shall move freely in the pivot notches and hang in a
position perpendicular to the knife edges.

The 5-0-2 has a 505 grain capacity, and features a two poise system. Calibrations
on left side of beam are in full 5 grain increments. The smaller poise on right side of
beam adjusts from 0.1 to 5 grains. This was the first reloading scale to utilize
END
magnetic damping to eliminate unnecessary beam oscillation. It has a rugged die-
LOOP cast base with a large leveling leg for extra stability on the bench. Self-aligning agate
bearings support the hardened steel beam pivots to guarantee sensitivity of 0.1
grain.
