Easy To Use
Powder Tracking
These videos show the Press Monitor III in translucent blue, but it is also available in a sleek black case as well.   Please see the pictures below.
Features:
Press Monitoring
alerts you if the press is operated out of sequence.  This will catch mistakes such as short stroking, forgetting to rotate the shell plate, or any other out of sequence error.
This feature can
save you from a double charge, squib, or light charge round
and can
prevent injury
from a blown up firearm.  The best way to understand this feature is to see it in action in the Press Monitoring video above.  The new model now has 4 inputs so it can monitor up, down, prime, and rotate if needed.  Any sensors not used for monitoring can be used to generate an error.  New simple single letter configuration.
Round Counter and Statistics
- Up to 8 statistics for the current session can be displayed including:  Round Counter, Press Time, Rounds Per Hour (Current and Total), Remaining Rounds, Remaining Press Time, Powder Measure (Grains and Remaining Rounds).  Three long term statistics maintain a Total Rounds, Total Press Time, and Total Rounds Per Hour over all reloading sessions.
Using the Press Monitor
is as simple as turning it on and starting to load.  Everything is in plain English on the display.  A new simple test sensor screen has been added in the new model.
Installation is easy
using the included 3M strong double stick tape and requires
no permanent changes
to your press.
Powder Tracking
keeps track of the amount of powder in the measure, and can issue a low powder reminder if you run low.  There is
no sensor
for this feature as it relies on you to weigh the powder container before and after adding powder to the measure so it can calculate how much powder is in the measure.  It then automatically deducts the specified charge weight for each round as you load.
A
Press Light
lights up even deep cases so you can clearly see inside and verify the powder level.
Reminders
are used to report specific events; they do a quick beep and display on the screen for 5 seconds, but you are free to continue working right through them.  These can be enabled or disabled depending on the your preference.  A
completed reminder
lets you know when a desired number of rounds are done.  A
powder low reminder
indicates when the powder measure has fallen below a certain level (see
Powder Tracking
for more information).  A
press maintenance reminder
indicates when it is time to perform press maintenance.  An
interval reminder
can be set to remind you every so many rounds such as 25, 50, 100, etc.  A
RPH too fast reminder
can be set to tell you that you are going too fast.  A
break reminder
can remind you to take a small break and keep your mind fresh.
Supported Presses
- The Press Monitor supports the Dillon SDB, 550, 650, 1050, Hornady Lock N Load, or any other progressive or turret press with 1 to 8 stations.

Discussion about the Press Monitor over at BrianEnos
Dale B. from Fulton, NY:
I received my Press Monitor and I must say WOW! I am impressed with the quality, you must have put a lot of work into the design of it.  I am glad you developed some thing like this because it is so easy to loose you position while reloading when interrupted and this will go a long way to help prevent a squib or double charge.
Martin C. from Sabattus, ME:
Alan has put a substantial amount of research and time into the press monitor. I am very pleased with mine and it gives me a failsafe way to insure my reloads are reliable. The other features of the monitor such as the Rounds counter, Rounds per hour and Powder Measure Features are great options so I can keep track of my reloading.
