    6. Remove the battery access port cover with a coin or a large screwdriver. 7. Insert the two batteries, positive end first, into the battery shaft. 8. Reinstall the battery access port cover. The Dyna-Link 2 is now ready for use. The Dyna-Link2 will automatically start when the batteries are installed.

  • Page 16: Battery Replacement

    Dyna-Links large enough for ‘D’ cells. The use of NiCad batteries is not recommended. If the Dyna-Link 2 will not be used for an extended period, the batteries should be removed. A small current is used when powered off which will discharge the batteries in about six months.

  • Page 17: Operation

    The Dyna-Link 2 is ready for use. 2.2 Zero Takes out small deviations in zero when the Dyna-Link 2 is unloaded. See Section 3.6 for zeroing (Taring) package or pallet weights. The tension reading must be stable within the motion window for the zero function to work.

  • Page 18: User Key Functions (F1And F2)

    3.0 User Key Functions (F1and F2) There are optional functions that can be programmed for the function keys ( ) on the front panel, as well as on the RF remote display. See Section 4.2 for setup instructions. The functions PRINT (F3), and TARE are available full time on the RF remote display.

  • Page 19: Auto Total

    The TARE Fx-TARE TARE function in the Dyna-Link 2 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 Fx-TARE Dyna-Link subtracts the tare value from the gross tension and changes the display to mode.

    Hi-res mode will make the ZERO Dyna-Link 2 more sensitive to motion and movement resulting in a less stable display. When hi-res is on, the filter is automatically set to the Hi-1 setting (if Hi-2 is already set, then the filter is not changed).

    4.2 Function Keys The Dyna-Link 2 has two user definable function keys on the front panel that can be programmed to several different functions. F1 is defaulted to peak hold, and F2 is defaulted to test. This procedure also assigns the F1 & F2 keys on the optional RF remote display.

    4.4 Setpoints The Dyna-Link 2 supports two setpoints. Common uses of set points are for warnings or process control. The MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 comes standard with two high brightness red LED outputs for a triggered set point. The MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 has an audible output option that is triggered by setpoint 1.

  • Page 30: Filter Setup

    If the reading is not stable, it can often be improved by increasing the filter setting. Settling time will be longer as the filter setting is increased. However, the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 employs algorithms that speed up large tension changes while still controlling vibration even with higher filter settings.

  • Page 31: Calibration

    500kg test weight to calibrate a 5000kg capacity unit. The Dyna-Link 2 supports load cell linearization with up to four span points that can be calibrated in any order. Usually only one cal span point is necessary and is sufficient to reach rated accuracy.

    The third way is to increase the motion window. The MSI-7300 Dyna- Link 2 defaults to ±1d as a motion window. It can be changed at MSI to a higher value if desired. Often ±3d is chosen for bridge cranes as these tend to have a lot of bounce to them.

    C-Cal number must be known. MSI supplies replacement load cells for the MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 with the C-Cal value stamped on the serial number label. When a calibration is preformed with test weights, a new C-Cal is generated.

  • Page 39: Auto Zero Maintenance (Azm)

    5.5 Auto Zero Maintenance (AZM) The Dyna-Link 2 employs an auto zeroing maintenance mechanism to adjust the zero reading to the center-of-zero (COZ). COZ is defined as the tension reading is within ¼’d’ of zero. AZM continuously adjusts zero to maintain COZ. It is recommended that AZM is on to maintain the highest accuracy.

  • Page 41: Communication Setup

    Only one communications type can exist at a time. The RS-232 port located on the bottom side of the Dyna-Link 2 is useful for setup and calibration using a computer and MSI’s SCCMP Software (SCCMP operation is detailed in the SCCMP User Guide).

  • Page 42: Printer Setup

    The RS-232 comm port is capable of outputing tension data. All the weight modes the Dyna-Link can measure are available in user formatted form. The control mode program is what causes the Dyna-Link 2 to print. • USER – the assigned F-Key is pressed, then one transmission of the selected string type is output.
