AutoTrickler V4: The Ultimate Precision Powder Dispenser for A&D FX-120i

Our Price: £649.00 + VAT (£778.80 inc VAT)

What is the AutoTrickler V4?

The AutoTrickler V4 is a high-speed automated powder dispensing system designed specifically for the A&D FX-120i precision balance. It uses a dual-tube auger system to dispense rifle powder to within a single kernel (0.02 grains) of your target weight in approximately 10–15 seconds. By integrating directly with the scale’s electronics via Bluetooth, it eliminates manual trickling, providing the most consistent charges for long-range and F-Class shooting.

Description

Elevate your reloading precision to the next level with the AutoTrickler V4. This system is designed specifically for the UK’s most demanding long-range shooters.

Designed to fit the FX-120i (or other FX/FZ series balance, click here to get yours!), you know that accuracy is everything. While the scale provides the data, the AutoTrickler V4 provides the delivery. This is a clean-slate redesign of the world’s most popular automated trickler, and it is engineered to remove every variable from your reloading bench.

Why Choose AutoTrickler V4 for Your FX-120i?

Unlike basic digital dispensers, the V4 system leverages the laboratory-grade precision of the A&D FX series. While other units drift or struggle with kernel-level accuracy, the V4 delivers consistent results.

  • Unrivalled Accuracy: Consistently hits your target within 02 grains (a single kernel of most powders).
  • Incredible Speed: Dispense a 50-grain charge in under 15 seconds. The large auger tube handles the bulk drop at up to 50 GN/s, while the smaller tube finishes the charge with surgical precision.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works flawlessly with everything from fine ball powders like CFE223 to large-kernel powders such as N570 or H50BMG.
  • Bluetooth App Integration: Calibrate, adjust speeds, and update firmware directly from your smartphone.

Key Features

  • Integrated Design: There are no more separate “AutoThrow” units. The V4 is a single, sleek assembly that sits securely on your scale.
  • Vibration Dampening: This unit includes a clear acrylic panel and silicone pads to ensure the assembly remains stable and silent. This prevents interference with the sensitive load cell of the scale.
  • Belt-Driven Reliability: Toothed timing belts replace high-wear parts. This ensures years of maintenance-free operation.
  • Smart Hopper: Featuring a rotating valve and flat bottom, this allows you to remove and empty powder without spills or mess.

The AutoTrickler V4 is the global gold standard. By purchasing through us, you receive the latest v4.1 hardware with full UK-based technical support and guaranteed local stock. This avoids the long lead times often found with other distributors.

How do I set it up with my FX-120i?

Setup is simple. The V4 connects via a single cable to the serial port of your A&D scale. Once levelled using the scale’s built-in bubble, the V4 is factory-set at the correct tilt angle for perfect powder flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for answers to frequently asked questions.

A calibration certificate proves the accuracy of your weighing equipment. It is very likely that if accuracy matters in your workplace, certification will be required by your industry regulators. They are straightforward to get hold of though. Just ask our team.

If you are trading or transacting anything by weight, you will probably need to demonstrate your weighing equipment is verified for trade use. This gives your customers confidence in your business and will make sure buying and selling run smoothly. We can help get you with relevant approvals for your equipment.

The answer will vary depending on how your equipment is used. As a minimum, we typically recommend once a year but our team can provide advice based on your individual circumstances.

The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) has established standards for the classification of calibration test weights. Varying from E0 & E1, which are the most accurate to M2 which are commonly used for calibrating platform scales, floor scales and other industrial weighing instruments.

As a rough guide we have listed desired accuracy against class below.

+/- 0.1% – UNclassed Proof Load Test Weights
+/- 0.05% – M3 (Check/calibrate coarse scales)
+/- 0.005% – M1 (Check/calibrate standard scales)
+/- 0.0015% – F2 (Check/calibrate portable balances)
+/- 0.0005% – F1 (Check/calibrate precision balances)
+/- 0.00015% – E2 (Check/calibrate analytical balances)

The choice of weight class depends on the intended use and the level of accuracy required for a particular application. If you’re unsure, talk to our team who can advise you on the right class for your equipment.

If you’re sending a scale back to us for recalibration, it is ideal to use the original packaging. If this is not available choose a sturdy well-padded box to avoid shocks. Where possible, protect the load sensor by removing the weighing pan and any under-pan support and pack these separately in the box. You may be able to use the equipment’s locking pins or screws too.

Do ensure all the paperwork, including your contact details, is included to ensure we can return it once calibration is complete.
