  • Page 3: Section 1 - Introduction & Installation

    The Measurement Systems International MSI-9300 Series Porta-Weigh Plus Crane Scales are designed to provide a rugged weight indicator and data system for any type and size of crane used in industry. Two basic styles are available: MSI-9300 and MSI-9300HT. This guide is used for both versions as they have identical electronics.

    MSI-9300 Porta-Weigh+ Crane Scale shackle or too large a hook to interface with the MSI-9300. This can cause off center loading and stress points that will reduce the life of the MSI-9300 lifting eye or hook. Use the appropriate interface hardware for the capacity of the scale.
  • Page 5: Battery Life

    The MSI-9300 battery life depends on a number of factors: Brightness of the LED and number of segments lit, the amount of RF activity, and the age and condition of the SLA (sealed lead acid) battery. The MSI-9300 will automatically turn the scale off when the SLA battery drops to approximately 10.5V. You must recharge the battery when this happens.

  • Page 8: Section 2 - Scale Operation

    MSI-9300 Series crane scales are capable of hosting multiple independent scale inputs. These are connected via RF using MSI-6260CS and/or MSI-9300 Series crane scales setup as Network Slaves, or by special order, additional inputs can be hard-wired directly. In addition, the CellScale Math channels can be used for manipu- lating the scale data.
