    Battery Pack The MSI-6360 is powered by a 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) rechargeable battery. This battery will operate for up to 85 hours before requiring recharging. Charging time for a completely discharged battery is up to eight hours. A spare battery pack is recommended to keep the MSI-6360 in continuous operation.

  • Page 11: Battery Charger

    Battery Charger The MSI-6360 is shipped with a battery charger designed to charge and maintain the battery. Exact charging time will depend on the degree of discharge of the battery. A battery removed when the low battery warning first appears should take about four hours to fully charge.

  • Page 43: 4.11.2 Acquire Profile From Device

    IMPORTANT: Clone Profile to Device should only be performed by a trained dealer or under the direction of the Rice Lake Weighing Systems Customer Service. This action could potentially remove all configuration, calibration and functionality if performed incorrectly NOTE: Clone Profile to Device is not 100% reliable if ScaleCore Connect is in the Meter Monitor display.

  • Page 44: Calibration

    This section includes instructions for ScaleCore Connect calibration instructions. The MSI-6360 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-6360 supports Multi-Point calibration with up to four span points plus zero.
