Charge Master

[Jackalope33B]

I know how to adjust the charge master to dispense at different speeds and then switch to another speed before it dispenses at your desired target.
My question is, does anyone know how to change it to when you put the pan on the scale after a powder dump so it takes more than a half of second before it starts to dispense once again? I know once it hits ZERO, it starts to throw powder, but I would like to make it wait a second or two more to be sure the scale is zeroed out.

Re: Charge Master

well I dont have an answer for what you are asking but here is an old post where I called RCBS and got some additional information about some of the other settings. (other than the first 3 that most of us already know about) look to the bottom of the post for the UPDATE. If you get more info please feel free to update the list.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here. Why would it not be zero? I can't imagine the pan picking up enough debris to throw it off between the scale and your loading block.

Re: Charge Master

Sometimes the pan doesnt zero out, and when it does, within a milisecond of showing zero, it starts to dispense powder. sometimes the scale will fluctuate +/- .2 gr (because of draft, certain light bulbs, dirty elect etc etc). I would like my pan to be zeroed out for a sec or two before it dispenses again.

Re: Charge Master

If you're getting any drift, something is wrong. I don't buy the external interference stuff. Mine is 4 feet under a pair of old twin tube florescent shop lights and plugged into the normal wall socket and I live in a harsh electronic environment (computers, ham radios, and gadgets galore). I leave it on continuously and every time I use it, it's right on zero, I pull the pan and it's always 140.2 gn(the weight of the pan) and my calibration weights both show 49.99 - 50.00 g. I don't bother calibrating it unless I move/disturb it and even then, it's probably not necessary.

I think the biggest problem people have with these is getting powder debris or dust in the hole that the pan shaft sits in. A single kernel of powder will wreak all kinds of havoc on the load cell.

Sometimes I think I'm the only one with a properly functioning Chargemaster.

Re: Charge Master

The CM has a stated accuracy range of + or - 1/10 th which means it has a an acceptable extreme spread of 2/10's for any given load so whatever the number on the screen is showing does not represent a specific weight so I don't think when it's on the auto-throw mode that you are supposed to be zeroing between loads.
This acceptable weight variance is why the straw mod works so good as it trips the weight threshold when just a couple kernels reach it instead of allowing 5 or 6 clumped together in the metal tube to dump in at once which actually is more weight but the scale reads it the same since it's in the acceptable spread.

Re: Charge Master

When you put the pan on the scale, it can take a few seconds to stabilize if you aren't being fairly gentle.

I find that when I'm in a hurry I can just put the pan on the scale and press the Zero button. I don't know if it actually is any faster but it at least makes me think it is
