CHARGEMASTER DISPENSER INSTRUCTIONS
Your new ChargeMaster Dispenser is an
exciting advancement in reloading
technology. It is not only fast and convenient,
but can store up to 30 of your favorite loads.
Once you program the unit, you can recall
the stored charge and dispense it with
precision and accuracy. The ChargeMaster
is fast and repeats with the accuracy you've
come to expect from RCBS.
Getting Started:
The ChargeMaster Dispenser is used in
conjunction with the ChargeMaster 1500
Scale. The ChargeMaster scale simply plugs
into the dispenser. The transformer on the
ChargeMaster scale supplies the power for
the ChargeMaster Dispenser. If you
purchase your ChargeMaster as a Combo
Unit, the Scale & Dispenser are
preassembled into a single unit. The two
units are solidly mounted into one unit using
two rigid steel brackets on the underside of
the Dispenser and Scale. If you purchased
your ChargeMaster Scale and ChargeMaster
Dispenser separately, you will need to
assemble the two units.
ChargeMaster 1500
Step 1. To attach the scale to the dispenser,
remove the 4 screws on the bottom of
the scale and slide the scale along the
rails until the two units are plugged in
together. Replace the screws and hand
tighten. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Step 2. The ChargeMaster dispenser comes
equipped with a wind guard. This allows
you to load in conditions that most scales
will not handle.
Step 3. The knob on the side of the dispenser is
the drain. To open the drain turn knob ½
turn, twist it to remove the powder left in
the dispenser. It is not a good idea to
allow the powder to remain in the hopper
for long periods of time.
