    This manual is intended for use by service technicians responsible for installing and servicing the MSI-9600HT Port-A-Weigh Plus and the MSI-9600 Port-A-Weigh Plus retrofit of the MSI-9300. Configurations and calibration of the scale can be accomplished using ScaleCore Connect software, RF remote control, RF remote displays, or the front panel keys. See Section 4.0 on page 27...
  • Page 8: Safety

    Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts. There are no user serviceable parts within the MSI-9600. Any repairs are to be performed by qualified service personnel only. The MSI-9600 Port-A-Weigh Plus scale has a safe mechanical overload of 200% and an ultimate overload of 500%. Overloads greater than 500% could result in structural failure and dropped loads.

    Low battery warning annunciator indicates about two to four hours of use before MSI-9600 powers off. If the MSI-9600 is not going to be used again soon, remove SLA battery to prevent deep discharge while unit is in storage. Recycle the battery at an authorized recycling center when the average life drops to 20 hours or less.
  • Page 13: Battery Replacement

    CAUTION: The 12V Sealed Lead Acid battery can be a dangerous falling hazard. When opening the battery hatch, hold the battery to prevent it from falling. The batteries contain lead and should be recycled when it has reached its end of life. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved...
  • Page 14: Communications Port

    This communications port is not intended for output use. The MSI-9600 comes standard with one communications port cable wired for RS-232 following the AT standard for 9-pin serial cables (DCE). An un-terminated cable is also available for wiring the serial cable for RS-232.
  • Page 15: Servicing

    Rice Lake Weighing System’s dealer network provides both on-site and depot servicing of MSI-9600 crane scales. Please contact a local dealer or Rice Lake Weighing Systems to obtain a return material authorization (RMA). Due to the weight and size of many products, it is not always necessary to return the whole scale. Lower swivel hook assemblies and upper lifting shackles on 50k capacity models and above do not need to be returned for service or recalibration.

  • Page 34: Calibration

    Calibration The MSI-9600 is calibrated using standard weights. The weight used to calibrate, must be at least 15% of full capacity in order to achieve rated accuracy. For example, use at least a 750 kg test weight to calibrate a 5000 kg capacity scale. Although a single span point is usually adequate for rated accuracy, the MSI-9600 supports Multi-Point calibration with up to four span points plus zero.

  • Page 36: Initial Calibration

    Use this procedure only if the capacity and count-by (d) needs to be modified. The initial steps of the initial calibration will totally erase user setup as well as any previous calibration. Use the following steps to calibrate the MSI-9600 using the initial calibration procedure. 1. Turn the MSI-9600 off.
  • Page 37: Guidelines For Capacity And Resolution

    NOTE: Never set the capacity of the scale higher than the rating of the load cell. It is acceptable to set lower capacities to better match the crane the MSI-9600 is used on. For example, if the hoist is rated for 9000 lb, use an MSI-9600 with 10,000 lb capacity and reset the capacity to 9000 lb so that the scale will indicate overload at 9000 lb instead of 10000 lb.
  • Page 38: C-Cal Calibration

    C-Cal. To perform C-Cal, a C-Cal number must be known from a previous calibration. MSI supplies replacement load cells for the MSI-9600 with the C-Cal value stamped on the serial number label. When a calibration is performed with test weights, a new C-Cal is generated.

    The MSI-9600 has a single communications port allowing access to the embedded ScaleCore through the terminal access mode or Rice Lake software. The terminal access mode is used for updating scale firmware while Rice Lake software can be used for calibration and configuration, backup and adjusting scale settings. This communications port is not intended for output use.
