Introduction The MSI-8000HD RF Remote Display is a wireless remote display for viewing weight from several compatible MSI Crane Scales and Dyna-Links. It is fully sealed for outdoor use in most ambient conditions. Using a Remote Display enhances the safety and usability of the MSI’s Dyna-Link and Crane Scale systems.

If a function key does not work, it is probably because the connected Scale/Dyna-Link is not setup to support the key. Example: If the Function key is set for TOTAL, you must also setup the TOTAL mode in the Setup Menu of the target scale. MSI-8000HD Operator’s Manual...
1.3 Specifications Weight accuracy is dependent on the linked load unit, a Dyna-Link Accuracy or 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.
• Optional Hard-wired link for applications where RF is not allowed. 1.5 FCC Statement Contains FCC ID: OUR-XBEEPRO The MSI-8000HD complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: i This device may not cause harmful interference.
1.7 Getting Started The MSI-8000HD is usually shipped along with a compatible sensor unit such as an MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2, or one of MSI’s advanced Crane Scales. MSI ships these systems pre-configured. If the MSI-8000HD is purchased separately, or is to be used with a different system, then the RF Transceivers will have to be mated.
- WiFi Ethernet 1.9 Unpacking When unpacking the MSI-8000HD, ensure that all parts are accounted for. Check the MSI-8000HD for any visible damage and immediately report any damage to your shipper. It is advisable to use the original shipping container when shipping or transporting the MSI-8000HD.
, the LCD will show all segments for a display text and the software POWER version number will display. The MSI-8000HD is ready for use. 2.2 Zero Sets the zero reading of the Scale/Dyna-Link. Takes out small deviations in zero when the Scale/Dyna-Link is unloaded.
In scale applications, tare is typically used to zero out a known weight such as rigging, a container, or pallet and display the load in NET load/weight. The MSI-8000HD tare function is defined as a Tare-In/Tare-Out operation. The first press of the...

Switching back to Gross mode from Net mode will not clear the Tare value. This allows the operator to use the Gross Mode temporarily without having to reestablish the tare value. Only clearing or setting a new tare will change the tare value held before switching into Gross Mode. MSI-8000HD Operator’s Manual...
3.5 Peak Hold Peak Hold automatically updates the display when a higher peak weight reading is established. The Peak Hold function uses a high speed mode of the A/D converter (220 samples) allowing it to capture transient loads at a far higher rate than typical Dynamometers. Peak hold is cleared and re-enabled with the Key.
Note PN 152160) Hi-Res Mode will make the MSI-8000HD 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). This will have a small effect on settling time.

4.2 Function Keys The MSI-8000HD has 2 user definable function keys (F1 and F2) on the Front Panel that can be programmed. 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 Section 3.0.
Any time any button is pressed, or the detected load is in motion exceeding 10d, the time limit is reset. Therefore, the MSI-8000HD will stay on indefinitely if the load is changing or any button is pressed at least once. With A- OFF disabled, it will remain on;...
• Network ID - This is a 64 bit number that all interconnected devices must match. The MSI-8000HD limits this number to a max of 6 digits for a range of 0-99999. Do not use a small number here to help avoid other 802.15.4 networks that default to a Network ID of 0.

The RS-232 Comm Port is capable of outputting load data. All the weight modes the RF linked weight device can measure are available in user formatted form. The control Mode programs are what cause the MSI-8000HD to print. The modes are: 1.
ScCMP application (ScaleCore Configuration Management Program). • Continuous - The MSI-8000HD will continuously output the data at a rate controlled by the “rAtE” (RATE) menu. • Off - Printing is disabled. Power consumption is lower with print off.

The serial output is configured as 9600 baud, Xon/Xoff handshaking, no hardware handshaking, 1 stop bit, no parity. Other baud rates are possible by special order only. Printer / Output Setup Press Simultaneously 1) With the MSI-8000 on, press the key and the keys simultaneously.
Figure 5.6 Printer/Output Set Up (continued) 5.9 COMM Port Hardware The MSI-8000HD RS-232 Comm 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 to a computer.
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 is necessary to ensure product safety.
MSI-8000HD can be equipped with up to three relays for process control or safety systems. In the non meter MSI-8000HD, relays are programmed on the unit that the Note 8000HD is "talking" to. Two independant relays are installed and are wired out to 4 pins on a M12 connector.
