Ok here is my reloading dilemma, I have 3 Pact scale and dispenser setups. I have had two for a few years and with the sale of some odd toys and tools decided to purchase an addition one. I recently purchased a house and found that my scales possibly did not like the move. The scales would not hold a zero; they would jump from 0.00 to -1.3 to 2.0 to 1.5 to -2.2 to 0.00, it took an unusual amount of time to calibrate them and than they would never settling down long enough for the dispenser to dump the load.
So I send the scales to Pact Inc for an overhaul, to be honest it was cheap. A check $14.95 to cover the return shipping and I put a 10 spot in the box so the guys in the shop could get coffee and maybe move the 6 week turn around time up a little. (Can’t hurt).
The service was excellent and the guys at the shop were very helpful. I have to say excellent customer service.
They did need some work, one had a bad load cell the other needed a good cleaning. I plugged them all in and let them sit over night to acclimate to the room, humidity, etc..
They are still doing the same thing. One is worse the other two but all are still jumping around. So now with the back ground here is the problem.
I spoke to Pact Inc, he said it could be “Noise in the line” causing jumps in the voltage which will effect the scale. He said to get a Line conditioner, to remove the noise. Problem is I now have $700 dollars worth of equipment that I need to add an additional $350 conditioner to, I don’t think that will fly with the wife... Did anyone else have this problem or hear of this problem like before. Are there cheaper “line conditioners” out there? Do computer guys use these and sometimes dump them off at estate type sales.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, if I can’t fix this problem, keep you eyes out for Pact Inc set ups for sale cheap.
Thanks in advance
