• 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.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com 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...
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com 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.

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.
