Page 9: Installation
Installation The MSI-4260 features a heavy duty, cast aluminum enclosure rated at NEMA Type 4 IP 66. It installs easily by hanging it on a crane using properly sized shackles. Refer to the Crane Scale Safety and Periodic Maintenance Manual (PN 153105) for safe loading and WARNING rigging guidelines when installing the model MSI-4260. -
Page 10: Battery Charger
• If the MSI-4260 is not going to used again soon, remove the SLA battery to prevent deep discharge while the unit is in storage. • Recycle the battery at an authorized recycling center when the average life drops to 20 hours or less. -
Page 11: Battery Replacement
The MSI-4260 has a single Communications Port allowing access to the embedded ScaleCore through the terminal access mode or Rice Lake software. The terminal access mode is used for updating scale firmware while Rice Lake software can be used for calibration and configuration, backup and adjusting scale settings. This Communications Port is not intended for output use. -

Figure 2-3. Comm Port Cable Assignments Examples Servicing Rice Lake’s dealer network provides both on-site and depot servicing of MSI-4260 crane scales. Please contact a local dealer or Rice Lake Weighing Systems to obtain a return material authorization (RMA). Due to the weight and size of many of the product, it is not always necessary to return the whole scale. -

FCC Statement Contains FCC ID: OUR-XBEEPRO The MSI-4260 complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (i.) this device may not cause harmful interference. (ii.) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. -
Page 14: Operation
The following sections describe the basic operation of the MSI-4260. Navigation of Menus • If a function key does not work, it is probably because the MSI-4260 is not set up to support the key. For example, if the Function Key is set for , the mode must also be set up in the Setup Menu. -
Page 15: Tare
The weight reading must be stable within the motion window for the tare function to work. The scale digits display 0 (or 0.0 or 0.00, etc) and the weight mode changes to NET. The backup memory in the MSI-4260 stores the Tare reading and can restore it even if power fails. TARE To clear the tare and revert to gross weight, press will display. -

Page 22: 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-4260 employs algorithms that speed up large weight changes while still controlling vibration even with high filter settings. -

Page 24: Calibration
5.0 Calibration The MSI-4260 is calibrated using standard weights. It is required that the weight used is at least 10 percent of full capacity in order to achieve rated accuracy. For example, use at least a 500 kg test weight to calibrate a 5000 kg capacity scale. -
Page 25: Initial Calibration
Use this procedure only if the capacity and count-by (d) needs to be modified. The initial steps of the initial calibration will totally erase user setup as well as any previous calibration. Use the following steps to calibrate the MSI-4260 using the initial calibration procedure. 1. Turn the MSI-4260 off. -
Page 26: Guidelines For Capacity And Resolution
Due to excellent linearity of the MSI S-Beam load cell, it is acceptable to set lower capacities to better match the crane the MSI-4260 is used on. For example, if the hoist is rated for 9000 lb, use an MSI 10000 lb and MSI 4260 and reset the capacity to 9000 lb so that the scale will indicate overload at 9000 lb instead of 10000 lb. -
Page 27: C-Cal Calibration
When a calibration is performed with test weights, a new C-Cal is generated. C-Cal can be used when the electronics are replaced to get an approximate calibration that may be suitable for non L-F-T applications. The C-Cal number must be known prior to starting this procedure. For a MSI-4260 with its original load Important cell, MSI prints this number on the calibration record, the serial number tag and on the calibration log found inside the battery compartment. -

Page 29: Auto Zero Maintenance
Auto Zero Maintenance The MSI-4260 employs an autozeroing maintenance mechanism to adjust the zero reading to the center-of-zero (COZ). COZ is defined as the weight reading is within 1/4 ‘d’ of zero. AZM continuously adjusts zero to maintain COZ. It is recommended that AZM is on to maintain the highest accuracy. However, there are circumstances when it should be turned off. -
