Page 20: Filter
If the reading is not stable, it can often be improved by increasing the filter setting. Settling time is longer as the filter setting is increased. However, the MSI-4260M employs algorithms that speed up large weight changes while still controlling vibration even with high filter settings. -
Page 21: Calibration
This section provides an overview of MSI-4260M Port-A-Weigh Crane Scale calibration instructions. The MSI-4260M is calibrated using the certified test weights. It is required that the weight used is at least 10% of full capacity in order to achieve rated accuracy. For example, use at least a 500 lb test weight to calibrate a 5000 lb capacity scale. Although a single span point is usually adequate for rated accuracy, the MSI-4260M supports Multi-Point calibration with up to four span points plus zero. -

The other is to increase the d (reduce resolution). The third way is to increase the Motion Window. The MSI-4260M defaults to ±1 d as a motion window. It can be changed at Rice Lake Weighing Systems to a higher value if desired. Often ±3 d is chosen for bridge cranes as these tend to have a lot of bounce to them. -
Page 27: C-Cal Calibration
C-Cal Calibration When adequate test weights are not available, the MSI-4260M can be calibrated using a programmed constant calibration which is referred to as C-Cal. To use C-Cal, a C-Cal number must be known from a previous calibration. When a calibration is performed with test weights, a new C-Cal is generated. -
