Lyman Micro-Touch 1500 Electronic Reloading Scale

Set-Up

1. Select a location for the 1500 that is level and stable. It is recommended that the scale be located away from a loading bench equipped with a reloading press. Most benches are not heavy enough to prevent vibrations being transferred to the scale. The scale should also be positioned away from any source of drafts, air currents, or temperature changes. The 1500 is sensitive enough to be affected by these conditions.
2. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet and connect it to the scale. The scale can also be run on three AAA batteries. To install the batteries, remove the cover on the bottom of the scale and install the batteries so that the negative ends are against the springs.
3. The scale is equipped with a clear plastic dust cover. The cover can be hinged back when the scale is in use. It is recommended that the cover be closed when the scale is not in use to protect the platform and load cell.
4. For the first use, it is recommended to turn on the scale and allow it to run for 24 hours. This will help it to stabilize to its surroundings.

Calibration

1. It is recommended that the scale be calibrated before each use, or if the scale is moved or jarred in any way.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
3. Press the ZERO button to reset the scale to zero.
4. Press and hold down the ON/OFF button until the display shows “0” then release it. The scale will then flash 100.00. Place the supplied 100-gram calibration weight on the platform (the powder pan should not be on the scale).
5. The scale will now show 1543.2 gn on the display. Remove the 100-gram weight. The display will now show approximately 0.0 gn.
