Rice Lake MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2 - Manual (Page 13)

Introduction 9
1.6 Features
• Designed to meet or exceed all U.S. and International safety and environmental
standards.
• Greater than 150 hours operation with two standard Alkaline ‘C’ cells. Greater
than 300 hours with two standard Alkaline ‘D’ Cells (25000 lb/12500 kg
capacities and above). Also works with off the shelf NiMH rechargeable cells.
• Automatic power off conserves battery life by sensing no activity after 15,30,45
or 60 minutes, determined by operator, and turns power off.
• Rugged construction throughout. IP65/NEMA4 for outdoor use.
• Designed for use with USA made Crosby shackles (optional).
• Shackle holes reinforced with steel sleeves (25000 lb/12500 kg capacities and
above) to reduce wear.
• Shackle stops ensure ease of mounting. The stops prevent the shackles from
falling to the side of the unit and are held in position for easy rigging.
• MSI’s ScaleCore technology provides precision, high resolution (2500 division
standard and up to 10,000 possible) 24 bit A/D conversion coupled with an
advanced RISC microcontroller.
• Five large, 1.22 inch (31 mm) LCD digits for clear tension readings from a
distance. Six digits, i in (26 mm) on units 100,000 lb and over.
• Easy to maintain: Full digital calibration assures reliable, repeatable
measurements. Can be calibrated without test weights using MSI C-Cal
technology.
• Selectable kg/lb/tons (US Short)/metric tons/kilonewtons.
• Automatic or manual weight totalization for loading operations.
• Easily customized for special applications.
• Hi speed PEAK mode for stress and drop test analysis.
• Two setpoints can be set for any in-range tension/weight value for operator alerts
or process control. Optional audible alarm output.
• ScaleCore technology provides quick and easy firmware updates and calibration/
setup backup.
• Two Service counters ensure load train safety by warning the user to perform
safety checks when the lift count gets high or the Dyna-Link has been overloaded
repeatedly. Counter 1 (LFCnt) records the number of lifts above 25% of capacity.
Counter 2 (OLCnt) records the number of times the Dyna-Link overloads.
