BATTERY PACK

BATTERY OPERATION

The Port-A-Weigh is powered by a 12 volt rechargeable battery. The battery is located in the rear compartment of the scale. Two stainless steel fasteners secure the battery access door. To remove the battery for charging; unlatch the fasteners and pull the battery straight out. The battery will automatically disengage from its connectors and may be plugged into the battery charger for recharging.

The battery will operate continuously for 100 hours with the LED display before requiring recharging. The Port-A-Weigh will alert you when the battery is within 2 hours of requiring recharging by illuminating the “BT” (Low Battery) annunciator.

When the battery requires recharging, the weight reading on the display will be replaced by

“LO”, after which the scale will shut itself off to prevent battery damage. If the On button is depressed at this point, “LO” will reappear and then the scale will again deactivate automatically.

Instructions for charging are located on the battery charger. Charging time for a completely discharged battery is approximately 16 hours. A spare battery pack is recommended to keep the Port-A-Weigh continuously operational.

Note: More frequent charging of the battery prolongs its life.

BATTERY LIFE

The MSI-4260 battery life depends on a number of factors: Brightness of the LED display, the number of segments lit, and the age and condition of the SLA (sealed lead acid) battery.

The MSI-4260 will automatically turn the scale off when the SLA battery drops to approximately 10.5V. You must recharge the battery when this happens. Leaving a discharged battery in the scale, which has a maintenance battery drain, can result in a deep discharge battery which will shorten its service life.

SLA batteries do not suffer from memory effects and actually benefi t from frequent recharg-


•

User Guide Page 7

M E A S U R E M E N T S Y S T E M S I N T E R N A T I O N A L ings. Recharge the battery whenever it is convinent even when it still has available life. Due to the maintenance discharge imposed on the battery by the MSI-4260 electronics, do not store the MSI-4260 away with the battery inside. Remove the battery if the MSI-4260 will not be used for more than 2 weeks.

Battery Use Guidelines

1) Recharge whenever convenient. Do not wait for the scale to shut itself off if your work situation permits.

2) If you need the scale continuously, keep a fully charged spare battery at hand. Replace the drained battery as close as possible to the low battery warning or earlier.

3) SLA batteries that have not been deep discharged should withstand 500 to 1500 charging cycles.

4) The low battery warning will indicate about 2-4 hours of additional use before the MSI-

4260 turns itself off.

5) If the MSI-4260 is not going to be used again soon, remove the SLA battery to prevent deep discharge while the unit is in storage.

6) Recycle the battery to an authorized recycling center when average life drops to 20 hours or less.

BATTERY CHARGER

Each Port-A-Weigh is shipped with a battery charger designed to charge and maintain the battery. Exact charging time will depend on the degree of discharge of the battery. A battery removed when the low battery warning fi rst appears should take about 4 hours to fully charge.

When the battery is new, it may take signifi cantly longer for the initial charge. MSI recommends charging a new battery for 24 hours. It might take several charge/discharge cycles before full capacity is reached. Deep discharge batteries will also take signifi cantly longer to charge.

Using the Charger

1) Remove the battery from the MSI-4260. See previous page for removal instructions.

2) Connect the charger assembly to the AC supply (86-260VAC). The Power Status light should be green. If the Power Status light fails to illuminate, check your AC power connection and make sure the Vin jack is fully seated. AC power cords suitable for any world location are available from MSI.

3) Plug in the polarized connector to the jacks on the battery.

4) The Charge Status light should turn orange, indicating fast charge.

If the status light remains green when the battery is fi rst plugged in, the battery may be defective.

5) Charge until the status light turns green.

When the charge cycle is complete, you can (and should) leave the battery on the charger until it is needed. The charger keeps a maintenance fl oat 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.

RESET THE SERVICE COUNTER WARNING

1) After inspecting the load train, remove the calibration seal screw.

2) Push the Calibration button using a blunt screwdriver.

3) Push

[ZERO]

to return to normal operation.

Note: This procedure does not reset the service counter.

TOTAL (totAL)

Function

For accumulation of multiple weighments. The accumulator always uses the displayed weight, so GROSS and NET readings can be added into the same TOTAL. There are two

Modes of totalizing: Manual and Auto. The Manual Mode requires the TOTAL button be pressed with the weight on the scale. The weight will be added to the previously accumulated value. The Auto Mode will automatically add the last settled and stable value to the TOTAL.

Both Modes require that the weight on the scale return within 1% (relative to full scale) of

GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before the next weighment can be added. This assures that a weight on the scale is only added to the total once. Applied weight must be 2% of full scale above GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before it can be totaled.

MANUAL TOTAL

Function

Allows for accumulating weight manually by pressing a button.

Use

1) The Motion indicator must be off, the scale must be stable ±1 division. If there is considerable motion on the scale, use the Medium or High Filter setting (see Filter Setup).

The scale will accept the TOTAL button when in motion, but will not TOTAL until the

Motion indicator is off.

2) Only positive readings can be accumulated.

3) After a weight is totaled, the weight on the scale must return below 1% of full scale capacity relative to GROSS ZERO or NET ZERO before another weight can be added to the TOTAL. This assures that a weight on the scale is only added to the scale once.

(Function button must be programmed as TOTAL (see Scale Setup).

5) If the Motion indicator is on, the TOTAL indicator will begin blinking, and continue blinking, until motion stops and the Motion indicator turns off. The current weight is added to the TOTAL register and the TOTAL weight is displayed.

6) The TOTAL indicator (center right of display) will also illuminate for 4 seconds providing reinforcement that the TOTAL command was accepted.

Final

After totaling, normal weighing resumes.

AUTO TOTAL

Function

Allows for Auto accumulate.


•

User Guide Page 13


Use

1) When a weight threshold of 2% of Full Scale (FS) above NET ZERO or GROSS ZERO is exceeded, the accumulate function operates automatically.

2) When a weight that meets the minimum acceptable limit settles (no Motion), the TOTAL indicator will fl ash 3 times.

3) If the weight changes to a new settled value the TOTAL indicator will fl ash again indicating the previous settled reading has been replaced.

4) When a weight is totaled, the TOTAL indicator will fl ash for a steady 4 seconds, indicating the weight has been totaled and the TOTAL value will be displayed.

5) The displayed weight is added to the accumulated value in the TOTAL Register only when the weight returns to ZERO (±1% of Full Scale ).

6) The last settled reading is what will be used for totalizing when the scale returns to

ZERO.

WARNING: The operator must take caution that, when removing the load, the scale does not go out of Motion; or an erroneous reading could occur. The last settled weight is actually added to the TOTAL when the scale returns to less than 1% of full Scale capacity.

Action

1) The scale cannot be in motion. An Auto TOTAL acceptable reading is indicated by 3 or more short fl ashes of the TOTAL indicator.

2) Weight readings must be greater than 2% of full scale, relative to NET ZERO or GROSS

ZERO.

3) Each reading added to TOTAL must be preceded by a return to ZERO (NET or GROSS)

±1% of full scale. Totalization of the last settled weight is indicated by a 4 second fl ash of the TOTAL indicator, and a display of the current TOTAL.

Final

After totaling, normal weighing resumes.

RF REMOTE CONTROL

Description

MSI-4260 crane scale can be equipped with a RF Remote Control (RFRC). The RFRC is a transmit only device that can be used to perform basic scale functions. Range will vary from 25’ to 100’ depending on room conditions and line of sight to the display. The remote receiving antenna is behind the red lens of the crane scale and best range will occur when the display is visible to the operator using the RFRC. One big advantage the RFRC provides is the ability to turn the unit on remotely.

The RFRC is available in three versions differing only in transmit frequency. The standard version operates at 418MHz. Available alternative frequencies are 315 MHz and 433 MHz.

Functions

The RF Remote control (RFRC) duplicates the function of the front panel keys on MSI-4260 crane scales. The POWER, ZERO, NET/

GROSS, and TARE key function identically.

Note: F2, Total (F3) and View Total (F4) on the RFRC are not supported by the Port-A-Weigh. Total and Viewing the Total can be initiated with the F1 key on the RFRC.

The F1 key functions the same as the User Programmable Function (F1) key on the front panel. The exact function of the key depends on the F1 key setup procedure. See page 11 for the procedure to confi gure the F1 key, which will also confi gure the F1 key on the remote.

Setting the Transmitter Address

In order to allow the formation of up to 1024 unique Transmitter-Receiver relationships, the transmitter’s address may be selected using internal

DIP switches as shown. The switches are accessed by removing the DIPswitch access cover.

Note: If the switch is on, the address line is connected to ground, otherwise it is fl oating. The receiver’s address must match in order for the units to communicate.

MSI supplies the transmitter and receiver as a matched set with the DIP switches already confi gured. A replacement RFRC will only need to have the transmitter DIP switches set. To change the DIP switch in the receiver requires disassembly of the crane scale front casting.

Note: Due to different DIP switch styles, the receiver DIP switch appears opposite to that of the transmitter. On the receiver, the OFF position is on the right, and the ON position is on the left.

Contension 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

Battery Replacement

The remote unit utilizes a CR-2032 Button Lithium Cell. In normal use it will provide 1-2 years of operation. Access for replacement is accomplished by removing the battery access cover by pressing down fi rmly on the label area and sliding it off. Once the unit is open, remove the battery by sliding it from beneath the holder. Replace the cell with the same type while observing the polarity shown.
