AutoTrickler V4 tuning with N570

[@airborne350g]

Love the new update for the V4. Saving profiles makes it a whole lot easier when switching powders.

[@jefffitch5399]

Thanks Adam...I learned a lot from this video... especially about how to achieve tilt with the insertion of spacers under the back of the AD balance. I was lowering the feet in the front.

[@robbysreloadingroom]

This is a fantastic video. I’m gonna need to watch this about a dozen more times to fully absorb it all

[@roodog4wd]

Great video. Love the new update for the v4. Im running AR2209. Heaps quicker now. Keep up the good work.

Is it better to set the flow rate on the scale (tilt) or on the trickler itself?

[@jeffhillman1489]

Why put the card under the scale? Why not between the trickler housing and the plastic platen?

[@AutoTrickler]

1. Less sensitive to thickness. More precise angle changes with larger shims. 2. It won't get in the way when emptying powder (moving around the V4). Yes you can put a shim here instead if you prefer, but I think it's easier under the scale.

Adam -- how do we get in touch with you or your company to check on an order we have placed ?

[@mastermoarman]

So I wonder does the tilting of the s ale affect its accuracy enough to make a difference? Also couldn't you design a adjustable foot in the back like you did with the v3 trickler?

[@AutoTrickler]

A freely adjustable screw is not desirable in this case. Once the adjustment is right, it can stay there for all powders from ball powders up to something like H4350. Tilt angle only needs to change for the special powders like N570 where inserting a specific, measured shim is faster than trying to find that perfect screw adjustment again. Unless the adjustment has like scope turrets with numbers it's going to be harder to use, and much more expensive, for an adjustment that only affects a minority. Further, if it can be adjusted, many people will adjust it constantly to fix any performance problem which is only going to make it worse. Tilt angle is not a primary adjustment for tuning, it's a set and forget. It's just important to set.

[@mastermoarman]

@AutoTrickler ok sounds good. Maybe have a shim that can go between the rear mount and v4 that way you don't have to tilt scale out of level? Also I been using blc2 and the big tube throws really well but the trickler takes like 8 seconds to do the last 1 grain. Is that normal?

[@AutoTrickler]

8 seconds is probably alright, it should ramp down smoothly. Email me and I can help you more.

[@Aldocello1]

Loving my V4 , What is the buffer adjustment ?

[@AutoTrickler]

The buffer value shifts the ramp down curve to a lower weight, so it just slows down and stops earlier. If you have big kernels it can help so the ramp down aims for 0.06 under and then when it reaches this, it will run at a constant minimum speed from there up to the target.

[@Aldocello1]

When was the update available , never knew about it .

[@AutoTrickler]

A couple weeks ago. I sent an email to all customers and also all our dealers should have sent emails to all their customers too.

[@downandout6670]

I’ve been having issues calibrating H4350. It is reading up in the mid/high 30s. I’ve tried to adjust the feet on the scale. I’m not sure if I messed something up or not. Should I also have a base under the scale like a piece of granite or marble?

[@AutoTrickler]

If you can weigh an object on the scale and it's not fluctuating, you don't need a base under the scale. You can see in this video how stable it is and I'm moving around and talking quite a bit. Adjust the tilt to reach 0.20 and that should be all you need. If you need more advice email me.

[@kyley808]

Is it better to tilt the scale compared to tilting the v4

[@AutoTrickler]

Tilting the scale is a lot more convenient and it doesn’t affect the scale’s accuracy in any way that matters for reloading.

[@kyley808]

Thanks

Hello...I purchased a V3 about 2 years ago along with everything for reloading, and kept it all packed away for about 2 years...can you tell me, now that I'm am setting my reloading room up, if I follow the pdf instructions on the website for the V3 setup. Do I follow that entire setup even though I just have A&D scale and autotrickler, without autothrow? The pdf shows alot of settings to be set for proper communication which is very detailed with illustrations that show exactly how to with ease...can you confirm please? Thank you

[@wldott]

That pretty half assed to put the scale out of level, how about just putting an adjustment knob on the lid instead.

[@AutoTrickler]

Hi, thank you for feedback but as I have said many times before this solution is more appropriate than an adjustment knob which would only lead users to believe it needs to be changed all the time. Adjusting the scale level by a degree or two has no effect on its weighing.

[@wldott]

@@AutoTrickler needs to be changed enough to where you updated your app to have saved profiles for each powder.

[@AutoTrickler]

@@wldott The new app has 5 profiles you can rename and save settings and target weights. If you need specific help with your V4 please email me. I try to only respond on KZbin comments with general information but for specific questions please email me and I will help you.
