• Five large, 1.2 inch (30.5 mm) LED digits for clear weight readings from a distance. Display tilted down for easier viewing from below. • Easy to maintain: Full digital calibration assures reliable, repeatable measurements. Can be calibrated without test weights using MSI C-Cal technology. • Selectable for kg/lb unless prohibited by LFT regulations. -
Page 13: Installation
One of the most common installation problems is using an oversize shackle or too large a hook to interface with the MSI-4260. This can cause off center loading and stress points that will reduce the life of the lifting eye or hook. -
Page 14: Battery Pack
• The low battery warning will indicate about 2-4 hours of additional use before the MSI-4260 turns itself off. • If the MSI-4260 is not going to used again soon, remove the SLA battery to prevent deep discharge while the unit is in storage. -
Page 15: Battery Charger
The charger keeps a maintenance float charge on the battery to ensure the best possible operation times. For scales that are in high usage, MSI recommends obtaining a spare battery so one can always be on the charger. -
Page 16: Battery Removal & Replacement
5. Remove the battery by pulling straight back. 6. Install a fully charged battery by plugging it in to the exposed battery jacks. The MSI-4260 may or may not turn on once the new battery is installed. 7. Reseat the access panel. -
Page 17: Comm Port
The MSI-4260 comes standard with one Comm Port Cable wired for RS-232 (MSI P/ N 501705-0001) following the AT standard for 9 pin serial cables (DCE). An un- terminated cable is available (MSI P/N 12023) if you wish to wire your own serial cable for RS-232. -

1.11 Servicing the MSI-4260 MSI’s Dealer Network provides both on-site and depot servicing of MSI-4260 Crane Scales. Please contact your local dealer. MSI also operates a service center for all our products. Contact MSI Service at 1-206-433-0199 to obtain an RMA (returned material authorization). -
Page 19: Rf Connectivity
The MSI-4260 has several options for RF Connectivity: 1. 802.15.4 – Standards based DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) connection at 2.4 GHz This is used for connectivity to MSI’s Model 8000 hand held remote display. It can also be used with a 802.15.4 modem to connect to scoreboards or computers. -

Note function to work. The scale digits display 0 (or 0.0 or 0.00, etc). The backup memory in the MSI-4260 stores the zero reading, and can restore it even if the power fails. Rules for Use: • Works in GROSS mode or NET mode. Zeroing while in Net mode will zero the gross weight causing the display to show the negative Tare value. -

Page 27: Auto- Off
4.3 Auto- Off The Auto-Off feature, when enabled, prolongs the battery life of the scale by turning POWER off when the scale is not in use. Any time a button is depressed (any button), or the detected weight is in Motion exceeding 5 or 10d, the time limit is reset. Therefore, the scale will stay on indefinitely if the weight is changing or any button is pressed at least once. -
Page 28: Sleep
While in the Sleep Mode, the Green Acknowledge annunciator will blink at a 1s rate to indicate the MSI-4260 is in sleep mode. To wake up either a button must be pushed (front panel or RF remote), or the weight must change by 5 d or more. -

Page 34: Filter Setup
If the reading is not stable, it can often be improved by increasing the filter setting. Settling time will be longer as the filter setting is increased. However, the MSI-4260 employs algorithms that speed up large weight changes while still controlling vibration even with high filter settings. Filter Setup... -
Page 35: Calibration
5.0 Calibration The MSI-4260 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 500kg test weight to calibrate a 5000kg capacity scale. Although a single span point is usually adequate for rated accuracy, the MSI-4260 supports Multi-Point calibration with up to 4 span points + Zero. - Page 36 When the entire calibration weight is displayed, push TARE a second time to finalize the calibration span point. If the resultant cal value is within limits, the display will read “PASS” briefly. Figure 5-2. Standard Calibration Procedure (continued) MSI-4260 Port-A-Weigh Operator’s Manual...

Page 39: Guidelines For Capacity And Resolution
For this reason, MSI recommends that resolution is kept in the 1:2000 to 1:3000 range. Some improvement in stability can be achieved by increasing the filtering. -
Page 40: C-Cal Calibration
MSI-4260 is used on. For example, if the hoist is rated for 9000 lb, you can use an MSI 10000 lb MSI 4260 and reset the capacity to 9000 lb so that the Scale will indicate overload at 9000 lb instead of 10000 lb. - Page 41 Cal Switch C-Cal Calibration Access Procedure Remove 1) Remove the seal screw.

Page 48: Contention And Jamming Considerations
While the transmitted signal consists of encoded digital data, only one carrier of any frequency can occupy airspace without contention at any given time. This is not to say that you cannot have multiple remote controls for the MSI- 4260, but rather that you can’t use two simultaneously. -
