Page 11 The standard conﬁguration of the 9850 has the following connectors: 1) Main Power Input – Usually a heavy duty cable for power input. Available also with a connector by special order. AC and DC power modules are available for all industrial voltage sources. 2) Aux Power and Switches (P2) –...
Page 12 The 9850 is powered by AC or three choices of DC inputs. Universal AC Supply The universal AC Supply is suitable for mains inputs from 86 to 265VAC, 47-440 Hz. The 9850 can be ordered with a standard US Cord (NEMA 5-15 Plug) or an unterminated AC Cord for direct panel wiring or adding a country speciﬁc AC Plug.
Page 13 Brown Connect to Battery or Power Supply Positive (7-25VDC). Again, a direct battery connection is usually best to avoid interference with vehicle electrical systems. The CellScale is internally fused. If connected to a breaker or fuse panel, use 2A at 12V, 1A at 24V. Fast blow or medium blow fuses are acceptable.
Page 14 The 9850 comes standard with one Comm Port Cable wired for RS-232 (MSI P/N 502513-0001) following the AT standard for 9 pin serial cables (DCE). An unterminated cable is available (MSI P/N 10084) if you wish to wire your own serial cable for RS-232 or RS-422 or RS-485. Comm Ports 1 and 2 are wired identically. Comm Port 1 functions as an RS-232, 422, or 485 port.
Page 15 The 9850 features a software switchable termina- COMM 1 RS-422/485 tion resistor. 120Ω Termination Resistor Both RS-422 and RS-485 are multi-drop capable. Jumper 1-6-4 The 9850 can drive up to 32 receivers on one twisted pair. Although the 9850 uses standard RS- Black (RD+) 485 drivers, the 9850 ﬁrmware does not have a half White (TD+)
Page 16 The 9850 can directly drive up to 5 external relays which correspond to the CellScale system Set Points 1-5. The open drain MOSFET output lines are transient and inductive kickback protected so that no snubber network is needed for coil relays. The drivers are rated for 5-25Vdc relay coils up to 150mA. The Set Points Port provides a source of 5V, but limit drain from this source to 500mA total maximum.
Page 17 When the 9850 is DC pow- ered, SP5 can be used since the ground reference is provided through the power input. Standard Opto-isolated Output modules are easily driven by the 9850 Output port. MSI provides a 4 port I/O rack prewired with the Set Points Output Cordset (MSI P/N 10082 + 13186).

Page 22 Co-Existing with 802.11b Networks In some cases, if a CellScale network is located in close proximity to an 802.11b network, the CellScale network can interfere with the 802.11b network. To avoid causing this interference, the CellScale radio supports a selec- tion of hopping patterns that avoid the various 802.11b direct sequence channels.
Page 23 The CellScale system uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) to arbitrate between multiple remotes. Each remote is assigned a speciﬁc time slot thus guaranteeing data throughput. For more on setting up CellScale net- works, please refer to the MSI-9000 CellScale User Guide.

Page 29 So, in theory, 1 platform could be calibrated as 8 independent scales. This works because the CellScale does not know or care if a Multiplexer is actually present. It treats the input as a separate scale. The 9850 reads multiple channels by using the Scan list index. The “Scan list” is stored in the CellScale, with up to 32 channels present in the list.

It does not have the range of the Spread Spectrum modems built into the CellScale equipment and is intended for local control only. Range will vary from 25’ to 100’ depending on room conditions and line of sight to the display. The remote receiving antenna is behind the red lens of the meter and best range will occur when the display is visible to the operator using the RFRC.
Page 44: Instruction To The User
The RF Remote Control is a narrow band low power device and does not have the jamming immunity of the Spread Spectrum Modem used by the 9850 to communicate to the Host CellScale. Powerful sources of RF energy in the 418MHz region can jam the remote and prevent it from operating. In this circumstance, trying either of the two other available RF Remote frequencies (433MHz and 315MHz) might solve the problem.
Page 45 ID Codes are created when a new name is entered by the user. The name can be all numbers, all letters, or a combination of numerals and letters. Once the name is entered by the user, the CellScale scans its memory to see if the ID Code already exists.

Page 61 The 9850 weight display is a primary means of getting and using CellScale data. The user should always select a single channel weight display mode that provides the information needed. When the CellScale is a multi-channel system, a Multi-Channel display mode should also be selected.
Page 62 However, if one channel is primary, it is easy to distinguish it by making it larger than other channels. In any multi-channel screen, you can display from 2 to 8 channels, assuming that the CellScale Scan List includes at least 8 channels. CellScales with more than eight channels use the page mode to observe all channels.
Page 63 The 9850 LCD Screen allows a wide variety of scale display screen setups. The illustrations here demonstrate some of the possibilities. The custom display setup menus control the type and placement of available data types. The LCD is a graphics type organized in rows and columns. The row size is ﬁxed at 8 rows of 8 pixels each for a total vertical size of 64 pixels.
Page 64 The bottom two lines of the Row Setup menu illustrate what the line has programmed into it. Data is displayed in row pairs. For example, while programming row 6, row 5 and 6 will be illustrated. When data from another line is present, as it will be with the large font, the preview area will show as lines.
Page 65 The custom display setup menus provide access to all the data the scale can provide. When an item is present on the display, it will have an arrow next to its selection number. The length of some data items are ﬁxed, but many have variable lengths.
