Page 5: Introduction
MSI’s Dyna-Link and Crane Scale systems. The RF Remote Indicator allows tension monitoring from a distance and adds the ability to print and store data. The MSI-8000 uses a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery providing up to 36 hours (typical) of continuous use between charges. -

Page 8: Key Descriptions
1.2 Key Descriptions MSI-8000 Turns the ON and OFF. When in setup mode, returns to the normal weight/tension display without POWER storing the changes. Used to zero out residual tension on the link. When in the setup mode, drops back one menu level. -
Page 9: Msi-8000 Annunciators
1.2.1 MSI-8000 Annunciators The MSI-8000 uses LCD annunciators to indicate tension mode and other information. The stable annunciator indicates that the tension force has settled within the motion window (usually ±1d). When this symbol is off, the Scale / Dyna-Link will not zero, tare, or totalize. -

1.3 Specifications Weight accuracy is dependent on the linked Tension unit, a Dyna-Link or Accuracy MSI Crane scale. Refer to the appropriate User Guide for accuracy specifications. The MSI-8000 mirrors the display of the connected device. Battery operated by a custom Lithium Polymer cell. Not user Power replaceable. -

Dyna-Link at an average operational height, and then try the link at various positions and distances. Range may vary by the rotation of the Scale / Dyna-Link. The RF Transceivers used in the MSI-8000 are capable of much further range than the 100’ typical spec, but range is dependent on site and installation variables. -
Page 13: Battery Charging
1.12 Battery Longevity The Lithium Polymer Single Cell Battery used in the MSI-8000 has a rated number of charges of ≥300 before capacity starts to degrade. The charging life can be greatly increased by charging the battery more often, and not let it reach the battery cutoff voltage of 3.0V. -

NET tension/weight. The TARE function in the MSI-8000 is defined as a Tare-In, Tare-Out operation. The first press of the key stores the current tension/weight as a tare value and then the Scale/Dyna-Link TARE subtracts the tare value from the gross tension and changes the display to NET mode. - Page 15 2. The Dyna-Link digits display - and the tension mode changes to NET. 3. The backup memory in the MSI-8000 stores the tare reading, and can restore it even if power fails. To Clear the Tare and revert to Gross Tension 1.

USER keys (F1,F2 & F3). To enable the USER key functions, you must set up the USER keys following the procedures in Section 4.0. Note that Function Key setup on the MSI-8000 is independent of the Function Keys of the connected Scale/Dyna-Link. - Page 17 The Peak Hold function is useful in “Dynamic” and “Fall” tests. Common tests for fiber rope include “Overall Breaking Strain” (OB€), Breaking Force, and Cycled Breaking Strain. The MSI-8000 combined with a force test stand, meets the speed and accuracy requirements to properly conduct these tests.

4.2 Function Keys The MSI-8000 has 2 user definable function keys on the Front Panel that can be programmed to any of several functions. F1 is defaulted to Peak Hold and F2 is defaulted to Test. F3 is currently fixed to the Print function. For operational details of each function, refer to the Scale/Dyna-Link Operator’s Manual. -
Page 22: Auto-Off
Any time any button is pressed, or the detected tension is in Motion exceeding 10d, the time limit is reset. Therefore, the MSI-8000 will stay on indefinitely if the tension is changing or any button is pressed at least once. With A- OFF disabled, it will remain on;... -

Connector: M12 industrial IP67 rated. An adapter cable (MSI P/N 503489) is required to connect the MSI-8000 to a computer. This adapter cable converts the 8000 connector to a standard D9 serial connector. The 503489 cable can be converted to DTE by using a Null Modem adaptor. -
Page 33: Service Counters
DCE devices (503489-0002 schematic). 5.10 Service Counters All MSI’s RF Linked Scales and Dyna-Links maintain two service counters for safety. The first counter (LFCnt) counts lifts above 25% of capacity. The second counter (OLCnt) counts the number of times the RF Linked Scale has been overloaded. These counters serve to warn the user to inspect the load train after a number of overloads or a long term frequency of high capacity lifts. - Page 34 Figure 5-8. Access the Service Counters Only a MSI factory representative can reset the service counters, as these are an important safety warning feature. Depending on the circumstances, a thorough load train inspection might be necessary to ensure product safety.
