INTRODUCTION
The MSI-9300 Series crane scales are best calibrated using a remote indicator such as the MSI-3750CS,
MSI-9850, or the MSI-9750A Handheld. Calibration procedures using these devices are covered in their
respective User Guides. If the crane scale is not RF equipped or above listed remote devices are not in
use with the MSI-9300 Series crane scales, the only way to calibrate it is through the Comm. Port using
the Terminal Access Mode. MSI recommends having test weights of at least 50% capacity to properly
calibrate the Crane Scale. The calibration procedures will operate with as little as 12.5% of capacity,
though rated accuracy cannot be guaranteed. For details of Multi-Point, Certified, or other specialized
calibrations, refer to full version of the MSI-9300 Series User Guide.
The following procedure describes how to perform a standard, single point
calibration for a single load cell MSI-9300 Series Crane Scale. Some menu items
may appear slightly different than shown, depending upon actual software
application version. However, those relative to Scale Calibration are accurate.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
1) PC or terminal with terminal program and RS-232 serial port.
2) Serial Communications cable, PN: 501705-0001.
3) Known calibration test weight between 12.5% and 100% of the scale’s capacity.
ACCESSING EMBEDDED CELL SCALE
The MSI-9300 Series Crane Scales are controlled by an embedded MSI-9000 CellScale. All scale
functions & operating parameters are stored within the MSI-9000 CellScale.
1) Set the terminal program to emulate an ASCII terminal.
2) Set the terminal programs port protocol to 9600 Baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
3) Disable flow control in the terminal program.
4) Turn
Scale
ON and allow to power up. Once complete press & hold NET/GROSS key then press
and release the TEST key. The scale should indicate H-PORT. Release all keys.
5) Connect the MSI-9300 Series Crane Scale’s comport to the PC serial port with the 501705-0001
serial cable.
6) From PC, press ENTER. Main CellScale Manu will appear.
