1) Push POWER. The system performs a display
check: All segments and annuciators illuminate
for 3 seconds.
2) The LED displays the firmware Rev number.
3) Next, the display shows the Network address
followed by the ID address. This is the operat-
ing network address for any slave device to log
onto.
The network and ID Address are usually but not always the
same. Numbers for Network range from 0 to 31 and for address
from 0-254. Initially the MSI-9300 display will not know the Net-
work address and will skip this step.
4) The display begins a numeric test while the
CellScale component is establishing Network
and Comm Port connections. The count up pat-
tern will continue for 10-20 seconds and will
sometimes restart. This is normal.
5) Once the RF Network is established and the
Comm Port connection to the display is set the
display will indicate “ConEct” [sic]. The scale is
now ready for operation.
MULTIPLE SCALE CHANNELS
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. To directly access additional channels, the TEST/USER key can be programmed to “S
List” to scroll through the available scale channels. See “USER KEY FUNCTION” in this manual. See the
CellScale User Guide for the procedure to add additional channels. The crane scale’s keypad operates on the
displayed channel only.
ZERO
Sets the zero reading of the scale. Use the zero key to take out small deviations in zero when the scale is
unloaded. (See “TARE” for zeroing (Taring) package or pallet weights)
To Zero
Push ZERO. The weight reading must be stable within
±1 division for the zero function to work.
The backup memory stores the zero reading, and can restore it even if
power fails.
The numeric digits display “0” (or 0.0 or 0.00, etc.).

Rules for Use:
1) 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.
2) The scale must be stable. The scale will not zero if the motion detect annunciator is on.
3) The scale will accept a zero setting over the full Range of the scale (NTEP and other Legal-for-trade
models may have a limited zero range). Zero settings above 4% of full scale will subtract from the overall
capacity of the scale. For example if you zero out 100 lb. on a 1000 lb. scale the overall capacity of the
scale will reduce to 900 lb. plus the allowed over-range amount.
