  • Page 9: Tare

    MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL TARE Tare is typically used to zero out a known weight such as a packing container or pallet and display the load in NET weight. A Tare value is entered in one of three ways: 1) AUTO TARE – When the TARE key is pushed twice, the current weight is zeroed and Net Weight is dis- played.
  • Page 10: Special Tare Modes

    MSI-9300 Porta-Weigh+ Crane Scale Tare - Rules for Use: 1) Only positive gross weight readings can be tared. Weight can be tared in both the NET and GROSS modes. When in the NET mode, the TARE is not cumulative, all the weight is zeroed. 2) The motion annunciator must be off.

  • Page 18: Rf Remote Control

    MSI-9300 Porta-Weigh+ Crane Scale SECTION 4 – RF REMOTE CONTROL DESCRIPTION MSI-9300 Series crane scales can be equipped with an RF Remote Control (RFRC). This differs from using the MSI-9750A or MSI-3750CS Indicators to control the scale. The RFRC is a transmit only device that can be used to perform basic scale functions.
  • Page 19: Contention Considerations

    MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL CONTENTION CONSIDERATIONS It is important to understand that only one transmitter at a time can be activated within a reception area. While the transmitted signal consists of encoded digital data, only one carrier of any frequency can occupy airspace without contention at any given time.

    MSI-9300 Porta-Weigh+ Crane Scale SECTION 4 – THE EMBEDDED CELLSCALE For a complete guide to all the features of the embedded CellScale, refer to the MSI-9000 User Guide. ACCESSING THE CELLSCALE MSI-9300 Series crane scales are a shell interface to an embedded CellScale. To access the advanced features of the CellScale, a Comm Port is provided on the front casting of the crane scale.
  • Page 21: Set Points

    MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL SET POINTS The Internal CellScale can monitor up to 32 Set Points. Set Points are used for safety warnings and process control. The MSI-9300 has LED annunciators for Set Points 1 through 3. Set Points are programmed from a 3750CS, a 9750A, or through the Terminal Access Mode.

Adjust the rigging as necessary so that the pull is straight through the center of the scale. 3) Calibration always starts with the zero load. Remove all rigging that is not always present on the scale. However, it is sometimes best to calibrate zero with the rigging necessary for picking up the test weights attached to the scale.
