Thank you, scondofangle2. I appreciate the feedback, since I will be graduating up from an RCBS chargemaster.

Very informative, thanks NithQwill. Now that I have an email address I will reach out to Rex today.
It appears that most users are choosing the FX-120i (external calibration) over the FZ-120i (internal calibration) scales. Out of pure curiosity, is this because they are just using their scale, from their AutoTrickler V3 or V4? Or, is there another reason and I just over looking it
For me the internal calibration isn't worth the extra cost. Spent $20 on a F1 rated calibration weight and good to go.
If I buy the Fx-120i somewhere else, is there anything I need to do beyond plugging the ST into the scale and setting it on top?
If you already own a decent 100 gram weight from another scale, you can use that one.
The cal procedure with an external check weight is trivial (and over rated)... and... having the cal weight built into the scale makes it more vulnerable if you move it around much.

Got mine gen2 from Bruno and what little I've played with it I've been really impressed. Averaging around 6 to 7 seconds for 30gr of Varget. I'm still waiting for a few other things before I can really get into playing with it but so far so good.
Have you read the manual ? , and have you followed the scale reset and programming instructions? Its not plug and play
What have you done up to now? and did your scale have factory defaults or AT settings? What page of the manual are you on?
Very specific instructions in the manual on how to connect the ST to scale
The most common complaint with the supertrickler results from skipping the eighty-four (84!!!!!) page manual and trying to just plug stuff together. You MUST read the relevant parts of the manual or you're never going to get it working. YOu don't need to read all 84 pages, but you MUST carefully read and follow the instructions for the setup.
Thanks for the replies yes and no to reading the manual .I read the relevant parts for set up and had a no go but Rex was quick to reply that typical issue is the scale. The scale needed reconfigured and as you said read carefully and follow the directions specifically.
The two are communicating and now for more reading.
Thanks again to the community for quickly replying.

Yes
Are you sure? It's already installed.
In your defense, there have been occasions where a chip or a cup or some little doo dad were left out of the shipment and Rex had to send them along.
Also, I might suggest to them (as a beta tester) that they need to issue a "cliff's notes" version of the 84 page manual with JUST the setup stuff and essentials.

To be totally fair - once you get your head around presets and the tuning , obviously once you get the scale talking to the ST
you don't need the manual - I read most of it once , a quick guide may have just been fine . It's definitely not plug and play. But without messing with it it'll dispense 30gr of Varget or 42gr of h4350 between 5 to 6 seconds most of the time with reasonable accuracy. It'll see 8 to 10 in a row then over throw one or two.
It’s fine you just have to do the initial setup just like AT or any other thing that has to communicate with the Fi120 scale. Once it’s set up you will be GTG
As you posted cliff notes would be nice as there is a lot of info. For an old guy I didn't find the manual sequential with getting the ST operating.
My first 2 powders N140 and RL 15.5 required the system to learn and some manipulation by me to get the throws as accurate as I had hoped.
Having said that it is all I hoped for.
Still don't have Facebook

Order #1397 shipping 5/4
Same date as mine (1311). It was my intention to order the combo with scales, but somehow the order only showed the ST. Checked CE Products and saw they sell the FX for $580, free shipping. Time between placing my order and pickup by UPS was only 2 hours, estimated delivery Wednesday.
Having issue with powder cup stabilization. Have the monitoring off. It worked, then no. Just keep getting reposition cup, or cup not empty. Any help would be appreciated
I had the same problem.
step 1 (as the laser is off) is to do a factory restore on the power cup monitoring settings.
go to
SYSTEM
SETUP
FACTORY RESTORE
SECTION RESTORE
press and hold POWDER CUP MONITORING

Thanks I'll try that.
Ordering both at the same time has incurred additional import fees since the combination hits a price threshold to trigger said additional import fees. I know there is some one stateside that does warranty work or something like that but I think the ST's are still getting shipped UPS to us from across the pond
Buy the scale from CE Here importing both will incur duties to be paid St by itself is under that magic number
On the ST website is says their FX scales are pre programmed to work with the ST. I’m not a tec wizard so paying a little extra to have everything jive from the manufacture is No big deal. I understand after receiving the unit lots of reading and experimenting come with it.
for those that had to pair a ST with an FX 120i? whats involved? What’s the process? Difficulty?
Thanks all!

All that is involved is following the steps in the ST manual - its mickey mouse as long as you can read ..... and if you had an AT attached follow the steps to reset the FX
Read the manual…
Not difficult. Proof is that mine works.
The preconfigured ones come preconfigured by the guy that does the warranty work stateside. It seems that most do it by themselves though. The superticklers anonymous support group on facebook is very responsive and effective at helping those who are willing to try and figure it out if they need it. If you purchase the unit you can be a member of the Facebook owners group with a ton of information available from other users.
Steve Fine is the warranty guy up in MI or WI I fogret which. I don't think any units go through his hands unless you send to him for warranty.
Yes, the FB group is great, I'm on there as Steve Adams, which is an alias because I, like many here, don't want to participate in that FB/Meta bullshit.

Supertrickling and shooting matches is the sole reason I'm still on facebook
