Continue inputing the desired
capacity using the
USER key
for scrolling the number and
the
TARE key to store the
number.
15) Finalize the capacity value
by pressing the TARE key on
an unblinking display. In our
example, once the number
2500 is fixed on the display,
press
TARE to store the
capacity value.
16) Next the scale division size
‘d’ is set. Press TARE to
begin. In this example we’ll set
the ‘d’ to 2 units.
17) Use the USER key to
scroll through the
recommended scale
divisions.
The first ‘d’ offered is
the standard division for the given
capacity. Setting a ‘d’ size that
results in total resolution higher than
1:5000 is not recommended for
stability reasons.
18) When the desired scale ‘d’
is displayed, press TARE .
The “UnLd” display
appears and the scale is
ready for calibration.
Follow the Standard
Calibration procedure
starting at step 3.

5.2 Guidelines for Capacity and Resolution
Crane Scales are subject to forces that regular floor scales do not see. Many bridge
cranes, hoist cranes, and mobile cranes lack rigidity and tend to bounce or swing
when loads are lifted. 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. However, you should never program resolution that is far greater than
you need. If the MSI-4260 display is never stable, it is recommended that the
resolution is reduced and/or filtering increased.
