Page 41: Calibration
Calibration The MSI-8004HD 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-8004HD supports Multi-Point calibration with up to four span points plus zero. -
Page 42: Standard Calibration
MSI-8004HD RF Indicator Standard Calibration Use the following steps to calibrate the MSI-8004HD using the standard calibration procedure. 1. Select the sensor to be calibrated by pressing the F-Key that is programmed to Chan. 2. Press Cal switch to initiate Calibration. -
Page 43: 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-8004HD using the initial calibration procedure. 1. Select the sensor to be calibrated by pressing the F-Key that is programmed to Chan. -
Page 44: 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-8004HD is used on. For example, if the hoist is rated for 9000 lb, use an MSI-8004HD 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 45: C-Cal Calibration
When adequate test weights are not available, the MSI-8004HD can be calibrated using a programmed constant calibration number which is referred to as C-Cal. To perform C-Cal, a C-Cal number must be known from a previous calibration. Rice Lake supplies replacement load cells 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. -
