RF NETWORK SETUP
The 9850 is a RF Modem connected device. The RF Modem requires setup to connect to one or more CellScales.
The 9850 stores information for all 64 possible networks. Each network setting can be modified with the “Modem
Settings Menu”.
[1] NETWORK ADDRESS – Sets the primary network
address number. Set this number to match the Network
number of the CellScale master the 9850 must commu-
nicate to. Ranges from 0 to 63.
[2] CS ADDRESS – Sets the primary master CellScale ID
number. This number must match the Source Address
number of the primary master CellScale. Ranges from 5
to 251. This number is usually the same as the Network
Address.
[3] MY ADDRESS – Any 9850 unit in a given Network
must have a unique ID number. Enter up to three digits
to designate the 9850 ID number. Ranges from 5 to 251.
Make sure no other devices have this same number.
Other devices that must have unique numbers are 9020
Modems, 3750CS and 9850 Indicators, and 9300 and/or
6260CS crane scales used as slave units.
[4] TRANSMIT POWER – Sets the RF power level between
10 mW (Lo), 63 mW (Med), and 250 mW (Hi). In most
applications power should be set to Medium. Reduced
energy can reduce the size of the coverage / interfer-
ence zone which may be desirable for multiple-network
applications. Always check for adequate range coverage
when using the Low setting. Only a minor improvement
in battery life (~10%) is achieved by using the Lo set-
ting.
[5] TIMEOUT – Sets the time in seconds (0-1800) that the
9850 will wait for data from the CellScale Master. The
display will display bars if no data is received within
this time period. MSI recommends at least a 10 second
time out period to handle small lapses in transmissions.
The system defaults to 10 seconds.
[6] ADVANCED SETTINGS – Advanced features settings of the Modem. See “ADJUST MODEM MENU”
on the following page.
[7] SAVE SETTINGS NOW – Commits the settings to the Modems Memory. The Modem settings will be auto-
matically saved at power down if changed. Writing the Modem registers can take a few seconds. When the
SAVE SETTINGS NOW line changes to white background. The settings have been stored.
After changing the Modem Network, you press ESC twice to return to weight modes. There may be a delay when
acquiring a new Master CellScale. If the weight does not appear in 10 seconds, recheck your modem settings at
both the 9850 and the master CellScale (or embedded CellScale in a crane scale).
The Modem Firmware version is displayed in the Title area. At press time the modem was at v2.05.
