For example, if the Function Key is set for TOTAL, the TOTAL mode must also be set up in the Setup menu. -
Page 15: Tare
Example: Taring a 100 lb container on a 1000 lb scale, the scale will overload at a net weight of 900 lb (1000-100) plus any additional allowed overload (usually ~4% or 9d). The scale stores the tare value in non-volatile memory and is restored when power is cycled. Note © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved... -

Page 24: Calibration
MSI-4260B Port-A-Weigh Calibration The MSI-4260 is calibrated using standard 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 kg test weight to calibrate a 5000 kg capacity scale. Although a single span point is usually adequate for rated accuracy, the MSI-4260 supports Multi-Point calibration with up to four span points plus zero. -

Page 26: Initial Calibration
Crane scales are subject to forces that regular floor scales do not see. Many bridge cranes, hoist cranes and mobile cranes lack rigidity and tend to bounce or swing when loads are lifted. For this reason, Rice Lake Weighing Systems recommends that the resolution is kept in the 1:2000 to 1:3000 range. -
