Can anyone,,,

tell me how the scale communicates with the dispenser on the chargemaster 1500. the scale apparently can be purchased separately, see below,

[h=3]RCBS® ChargeMaster 1500 Digital Scale[/h]

The ChargeMaster 1500 Scale lets you weigh powder, bullets cases or even loaded cartridges. An easy-to-read display shows weight in grains or grams and is accurate to ± 1/10 of a grain. You can easily weigh powder in amounts from 2 to 300 grains. Can be added to the ChargeMaster Powder Dispenser to create an unmatched combination of speed and accuracy. Fast and easy to calibrate, includes two calibration/check weights and A/C power adapter.

They plug into each other and form a single unit.

do you own one ? could you post a pic to show how and where,

what I need to know is ,,,does the scale retain the ability to register a slow trickle up to the chosen weight when not connected to the dispenser.

When not connected together the scales just act as a scale and display the weight. Once connected to the dispenser the weight is electronically fed back to dispenser control unit which regulates the rate the powder is trickled. Photos of mine:

Second photo shows the interface between the two units.

Thanks for the reply, that's exactly the info I was after, unfortunately not as I had hoped for, I had this crazy idea that required an electronic scale that was trickler friendly, however it seems there is not a "stand alone" scale that will work this way. I have an accurate electric scale but It will not register a trickle and so its relegated to bullet and case weighing.

I use a Lyman accu-touch 2000 digi scale which registers trickle in 0.1 increments.

I did previously look at this model, however there seems to be quite a few negative reviews [I looked on amazon,and one or two on other forums, ] i'm afraid I passed it by, however I may have to give it a bit more consideration.

to be totally honest I'm not sure I could fully trust an electric scale in spite of them working for many, more have found them problematic.

beam scales albeit a little slower don't suffer the same quirks.
