    Instructions
    Introduction
    Congratulations on your purchase of the Lyman 1500 XP Precision Digital scale.
    This is a precision piece of equipment and should be handled with care. Before
    using the 1500 XP, please read these instructions fully and become familiar with
    its operation and features. If you do not understand some of the operations or have
    questions above the use of the scale, call us at 1-800-22-LYMAN (Foreign
    Customers may call 860-632-2020).
    Set-Up
    1. Select a location for the 1500 XP 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 XP is sensitive
    enough to be affected by these conditions.
    2. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet and connect it to the scale. A series
    of lines will be displayed to show that the scale is getting power. (This is only
    when the power adapter is used, not with batteries). The scale can also be run
    on four AA batteries. To install the batteries, slide open 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 or removed if desired. To remove the dust cover, press down on the 
    button located between the two hinges and slide the cover to the right and off
    the hinges. It is recommended that the cover be in place 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. Press the ON/OFF 
    button to turn on the scale.
    5. The 1500 XP has a convenient storage compart-
    ment tray located in the back area of the scale
    body. The powder pan and powder trickler parts are
    stored in this tray. To remove the tray, firmly press in on
    the tray and quickly release. The tray will pop out slightly so
    that it can be slid out of the scale body. See photo. 
    						
    							6. A brush is supplied with the scale to aid in the clean up of any spilled powder,
    particularly any that may get beneath the platform.
    Calibration
    1. It is recommended that the scale be calibrate before each use, or if the scale is
    moved or jarred in any way.
    2. Press the ZERO button to reset the scale to zero.
    3. Press and hold down the CAL button until the display shows “Cal 20” then
    release it.
    4. Place the supplied 20-gram calibration weight on the platform and press the
    CAL button again. (Press and release, do not hold it down.)
    5. The scale will now show 0.0 on the display. Remove the 20-gram weight. The
    display will now show approximately –308.6.
    6. Press the ZERO button one more time to reset zero. 
    Scale Use
    1. Place the empty powder pan on the platform and press the ZERO button to reset
    the scale to zero.
    2. The scale is now ready to weigh powder. 
    3. The scale can be changed to display grains or grams as desired. Press the
    MODE button to switch the scale from one to the other. In the grain mode the
    scale will display “gn”, in the gram mode the scale will display “g”.
    4.It is recommended that the ZERO button be pressed on occasion during
    use (approximately every 10 loads measured) to ensure that the scale is
    maintaining its zero or any time the display is off zero when a empty 
    powder pan is on the platform.
    5. The scale is equipped with an auto-shutoff feature when batteries are in use.
    The scale will auto-shutoff after approximately 15 minutes of non-use to save
    battery life.
    6. The display will show an image of a battery to indicate a low power condition
    when batteries are being used.
    7. To shut-off the scale, press and hold down the ON/OFF button for several seconds.
    Trickler Set-Up and Use
    One of the unique features of the 1500 XP scale is its built-in powder trickler.
    Most tricklers were designed for use with beam scales and cannot be used with
    electronic scales due to their size and height. The 1500 XP solves this problem by
    allowing the reloader to attach the trickler directly to the scale.
    1. Remove the storage tray from the back of the scale and remove all trickler
    parts. (The powder feed tube is located on the bottom of the tray). 
    2. Note the lugs on the bottom of the powder reservoir. Insert the lugs into the
    matching openings in the top of the round base section and turn clockwise to
    lock the reservoir to the base.
    3. Slide off the o-ring located nearest to the open end of the powder feed tube.
    4. Insert the powder feed tube through the reservoir. Be sure that the open end is
    angled downwards. 
    						
    							5. Slide the o-ring back into place on the powder feed tube.
    6. The powder trickler can be positioned on either the right or left hand side of the scale.
    Remove the “T” shaped plug from the scale side that you want to place the trickler on.
    7. Press the “T” shaped end of the trickler assembly into the scale body opening.
    8. Fill the reservoir with powder and rotate the feed tube clockwise to dispense powder
    onto the powder pan. 
    Note: The scale cannot be used with the trickler until approximately 1.0 grain has been
    added to the powder pan. Do not attempt to trickle up from “0” as an improper read-
    ing can result.
    Cautions
    1. Never leave a load on the scale for a prolonged period of time as this can 
    damage the load cell.
    2. Always place the calibration weight or a load gently onto the scale. Dropping the weight
    on may cause permanent damage to the load cell.
    3. Do not attempt to disassemble the scale. There are no user serviceable parts inside the
    scale.
    4. Do not pull or pry on the platform. Damage to the scale can result.
