RCBS 98941, Product Instructions

Page: 8 / 116

GENERAL INFORMATION
The scale should be stored at 4°F~122°F (-20°C ~50°C) and used at 50°F~86°F (10°C ~30°C), with
humidity below 60%. It should never be stored outside of the specifi ed temperatures, which
can damage the load cell. If the scale has been sitting at a cool temperature, remove it from the
carton and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
Carefully unpack the scale. Look for and identify the following items:
• Scale with Platen
• AC Power Adapter
• One 20 gram and one 50 gram Weights
• Powder Pan
• 2 Tube Caps
• Wind cover
• 1 Drain Straw
• Brush
• Instruction Manual
The scale was shipped in protective packaging which should be saved and used for transporting
the scale. This packaging is also recommended for long term storage of the unit.
POWER SUPPLY (ADAPTER):
Input: 100VAC ~ 240VAC 50Hz / 60Hz
Output: 12VDC 1 A
Power Consumption:
Max current: 156 mA
Min current:120 mA
SPECIFICATION:
3.0~1000.0 grains ± 0.1 grain (Standard mode only)
3.00~300.00 grains ± 0.04 grain (Match mode only)
(1GM = 15.432 GN)
Note: Accuracy is compromised if used under minimum weight.
IMPORTANT:
Treat the scale as you would any fi ne instrument. MatchMaster is physically very fragile and the
load cell can be damaged by the following:
• Pushing down or dropping the scale.
• Pulling up on the platen in such a way that it binds in the load cell.
• A sudden, violent physical shock to the scale.
(IMPORTANT!) BEFORE USING THE MATCHMASTER
1. DEACTIVATE THE TRANSPORTATION PROTECTION MECHANISM
CAUTION: The transportation protection mechanism (located at the side
of the unit) must be deactivated before using the MatchMaster to
prevent potential damage.
Turn on the MatchMaster and press [
ZERO
] key while counting down.
Unstable numbers will show on the display. Turn the M4x8 transportation
protection screw clockwise (Photo 1) until numbers on the display stabilize.
If the last two numbers are still moving slightly the scale is still stable. When
fi nished, the screw will be recessed 1~2mm from the surface (Photo 2) . Do not
exceed a torque of 8 in-lbs (10 kg-cm) as this may damage the mechanism.
