Set-Up Procedures:
1. Begin by clearing the shell plate and powering off the machine and tablet. Remove the tablet,
tablet holder, and offloading bin and set aside.
2. Locate and remove the offloading bracket bolts (X2) with a 7-16” socket and set aside (see
Figure 2).
Figure 2: Removing offload bracket
3. The case feeder pole bolts need to be removed to install the BulletSensemounting bracket. It
is recommended to remove the case feeder or have an assistant hold the pole in place so the
case feeder doesn’t tip over. Carefully remove the case feeder pole bolts with a 3/16” Allen
wrench and with a 7/16” socket affixed on the opposite side of the press (see Figures 3 and 4).

provided.

5. Attach the Mirror Bracket to the top bracket mount with the 2X flat head 8-32 X 1.25” cap
screws. The mirror then can be adjusted using a 3/8” open ended wrench.

6. Attach the offloading bracket provided with the screws that came with the press if you are
loading pistol calibers. Note for rifle calibers: The standard bracket can still be used for rifle (it
just covers the bottom of the mirror). This isn't an issue though because the laser head is
mounted higher due to the taller cases and longer projectiles.

7. BulletSensecan be configured in either station #4 or #5 (depending on whether you are using
a PowderSense).
Station 4: BulletFeeder dropper in Station 3 with standard crimp and seat dies
Station 5: BulletFeeder dropper in Station 4 (using PowderSense® Powder check)
8. Once you decide which station, align the 650 BulletSenseassembly with the mirror holder by
loosening the sensor head mount (middle arm) brass thumb screw and rotating the sensor head
to meet the mirror (see Figure 6).

9. Plug in the Sensor into Port #3 and power on the console which will automatically turn on the
laser. When you first power on the sensor, look at the mirror to see where the laser beam is
directed. Use a thick white card/flat object to help find the exact position if it’s difficult to
detect the position.

**Please do not look directly into laser beam or directly at reflection in mirror**
WARNING –Class 3R laser: Avoid eye contact at all times; do not look directly into the laser
when adjusting the laser alignment.
10. Adjust Laser beam onto the mirror with the 2X 6-32” set screws on the top of the assembly with
a Torx screwdriver size T6 x 40mm. Once the Laser diode is hitting the mirror surface rotate the
mirror using a 3/8” wrench so the laser beam is reflected back to the sensor main body. Once
the reflected laser beam appears on the sensor main body, continue adjusting the set screws a
little at a time to direct the laser beam into the sensor hole as shown in Figure 8.

11. Next the sensor vertical height must set for the given caliber and projectile being used. This
must be performed when the platform assembly is in the home position. Before making the
vertical adjustment perform a system calibration so the platform stops in the home position.
12. To set the vertical adjustment, place a case with the neck expanded (pistol only) in Station #4 or
#5 and place a bullet in the proper orientation into the case at the level where it would be when
dropped from the Mr. Bulletfeederdrop tube.
13. Loosen the brass thumb screw and gently position the sensor head mount (on middle curved
arm) so the laser beam goes OVER the tip of the bullet and hits the mirror, the reflected beam
should return and hit the tip of the bullet, so the beam path is broken as shown below (Figures 9
and 10). Once the height has been set, remove the bullet, and make sure the laser is still aimed
at the sensor hole.
