Operation Operation This section covers the basic operation of the MSI-8000HD. Power Power the indicator On/Off by pressing POWER Zero Sets the zero reading of the scale/Dyna-Link to remove small deviations in zero when the unit is unloaded. See Section 2.3 zeroing (taring) a package, rigging or pallet weights.
The MSI-8000HD is often shipped pre-configured with a compatible sensor unit such as an Dyna-Link 2 or one of the MSI crane scales. If the MSI-8000HD is purchased separately, or is to be used with a different system, the RF transceivers will have to be paired.
Mounting with Tilt Stand A tilt stand is shipped with the MSI-8000HD for mounting. It can be mounted on a desk, counter or table. It can also be mounted to a wall or panel and the MSI-8000HD can be rotated for easy viewing.

The MSI-8000HD RF Remote Display can be used to operate several MSI crane scales (MSI-4260, MSI-3460 and MSI-7300). Some functions can also be set using the MSI-8000HD. The information in this section pertains to the setup of the scale being used with the remote.
MSI-8000HD RF Remote Display 4.8.2 Total Mode For the accumulation of multiple weighments, the Total function uses the displayed load, so gross and net readings can be added into the same total. There are four modes of totalizing, a manual and three auto modes.
Note The MSI-8000HD Remote Display will need to be resealed after calibration is complete, to be in compliance with NTEP. Initial Calibration Initial calibration is used to setup units, capacity and resolution (d) required for the load cell or after a calibration reset.

Cal value stamped on the serial number label. When a calibration is preformed with test weights, a new C-Cal is generated. The C-Cal number must be known prior to starting this procedure. Rice Lake prints this number on the serial number label. C- Cal reduces slightly the accuracy of the system and is intended for non-critical use only.

• MSI-8000HD based RF systems are peer to peer. For multiple scale connections, the MSI-8000HD acts as the network coordinator. The MSI-8000HD uses three numbers to establish a piconet. A piconet is a network that is created using a wireless RF connection.
The RS-232 communications port is capable of outputting load data. All of the RF linked weight device weight modes are available in user formatted form. The control mode program is what controls the MSI-8000HD to print and is described in Section 6.2.1.
Combinations of the standard print strings can be entered in the string number entry screen. Example: To get a Net, Gross, Tare printout with a space between records, enter 2349. The ScaleCore Connect application can also be used for custom output strings, it can be downloaded from the Rice Lake website.

Communications Setup Communications Port Hardware The MSI-8000HD RF Remote Display RS-232 communication port is used for software updates, connecting to a remote display and for connecting to any RS-232 device. Connector: M12 industrial IP67 rated. An adapter cable (PN 150964) is required to connect the MSI-8000HD RF Remote Display to a computer.
Figure 6-6. DTE Configuration for Direct Connection to a DCE Printer Relays The MSI-8000HD can be equipped with up to two relays for process control or safety systems. Two independent relays are factory installed and are wired out to 4 pins on a M12 connector. The connecting cables are shown in the table below.
• AC/DC SSR 400 VPK, 0.5 A: 14628 AQZ404. 0.5 A Fuse 144583 (Use limited to 250 VRMS due to connector and Cordset limitations).
