shipping or transporting the MSI-4260.
Introduction 9
1.8 Installation
The MSI-4260 features a heavy duty, cast aluminum enclosure rated at NEMA 4 IP
66. It installs easily by hanging it on the crane, using properly sized shackles.
Note
Please refer to MSI’s brochure, “Crane Safety” when installing
model
MSI-4260
.
One of the most common installation problems is using an oversize shackle or too
large a hook to interface with the MSI-4260. This can cause off center loading and
stress points that will reduce the life of the lifting eye or hook.
Use the appropriate interface hardware for
the capacity of the scale.
• If your interface hardware does not fit
properly, MSI can supply the MSI-4260
with oversize lifting eyes or shackle interfaces.
• If the crane hook is too large to fit in the lifting eye with s
ingle point interface,
then install the scale using adaptive rigging.
• If multiple attachments are needed, use a shackle or
ring to attach the multiple
lines to thus keeping a single point attachment to the scale.
WARNING
Important
Single point attachments are necessary to ensure the safety and
accuracy of the scale system.
Regular maintenance inspections of the liftin
g system should be
performed to ensure safety. Pay particular attention for signs of
stress on any element in the load train.
10 MSI-4260 Port-A-Weigh Operator’s Manual
1.9 Ba t t e ry Pa c k
The MSI-4260 is powered by a 12 volt Sealed Lead Acid rechargeable battery.
The battery will operate for up to 100 hours (depending on LED brightness setting)
befo
re requiring recharging.
In order to conserve battery life, the scale inc
ludes an Automatic Power Off Mode
which senses operational status for no activity after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, and
turns the scale off.
An additional battery saving feature is the Automatic Sleep
Mode. This feature
preserves battery life by dimming the display after 5, 15, or 30 minutes of no scale
activity.
Charging time for a completely discharged battery is up to 8 hours. A spare battery
pack is recommended to
keep the MSI-4260 in continuous operation.
Note
To obtain maximum service life from your batteries they should be stored
between -4°F and 122°F (-20°C and +50°C). Stored batteries should be
recharged every three months. Battery is fully charged when the status
indicator is flashing.
1.9.1 Battery Life
The MSI-4260 battery life depends on a number of factors:
• Brightness of the LED Display and number of segments lit.
• Amount of RF activity, and the age.
• Condition of the SLA (sealed lead acid) battery.
The MS
I-4260 will automatically turn the scale off when the SLA battery drops to
approximately 10.5V. You must recharge the battery when this happens.
Note
Leaving a discharged battery in the scale, which has a maintenance
battery drain, can result in a deep discharged battery which will shorten
its service life.
SLA batteries do not suffer from memory effects and actually benefit from frequent
recharging. Recharge the battery whenever it is convenient even when it still has
available life.
Due to the maintenance discharge imposed on the battery by the M
SI-4260
electronics, do not store the MSI-4260 with the battery inside. Remove the battery
if it will not be used for more than 2 weeks.
1.9.2 Battery Use Guidelines
• Recharge whenever convenient. Do not wait for the scale to shut itself off if your
work situation permits.
• If you need the scale continuously
, keep a fully charged spare battery. Replace
the drained battery as close as possible to the low battery warning, or earlier.
• SLA Batteries that have not been deep discharged should withstand 500 to 1500
char
ging cycles.
• The low battery warning will indicate about 2-4 hours of additional use before
the MSI-
4260 turns itself off.
•If the MS
I-4260 is not going to used again soon, remove the SLA battery to
prevent deep discharge while the unit is in storage.
• Recycle the battery to an authorized recycling
center when average life drops to
20 hours or less.
Introduction 11
1.9.3 Battery Charger
Each MSI-4260 is shipped with a battery charger designed to charge and maintain the
battery. Exact charging time will depend on the degree of discharge of the battery. A
battery removed when the low battery warning first appears should take about 4 hours
to fully charge.
Note
When the battery is new, it might take significantly longer for the initial
charge. MSI recommends charging a new battery for 24 hours. It might
take several charge/discharge cycles before full capacity is reached.
Deep discharged batteries will also take significantly longer to charge.
Charge Indicator Light
Amber = Charging
Green = Float
Figure 1-2 Battery Charger
The charger is a universal input type and is rated for 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz. AC
power cords
suitable for any world location are available from MSI.
Using the Charger
1. Remove the battery from the MSI-426
0. See Figure 1-3.
2. Connect the charger assembly to the AC supply (86-260VAC). The charge
ind
icator light should be green.
Note
Note
If the power status light fails to illuminate, check your AC power
connection and make sure the Vin jack is fully seated. AC power cords
suitable for any world location are available from MSI.
3. Plug in the polarized connector to the jacks on the battery.
4. The Charge Status light should turn AM
BER indicating fast charge.
5. Charge until the status light turns GREEN.
The charger is a 3 stage float charger that can be left on the battery
indefinitely. It has a dual color LED to indicate the charging state:
RED – Fast Charge Mode.
GREEN – Charged or Float Charge.
If the status light remains Green when the battery is first plugged in, the
batt
ery may be defective.
When the charge cycle is complete you can (and should) leave the battery on the
charger until it is needed. The charger keeps a maintenance float charge on the battery
to ensure the best possible operation times. For scales that are in high usage, MSI
recommends obtaining a spare battery so one can always be on the charger.
Note
To obtain maximum service life from your batteries, the manufacturer
suggests recharging after each 20 hours of use. Continuous deep
discharging will reduce maximum battery life cycle estimated at 2000
cycles.

2.2 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 Section 2.3 for zeroing (Taring) package or
pallet weights)
1. Press
st
ZERO
Note
The weight reading must be stable within the motion window for the zero
function to work.
The scale digits display 0 (or 0.0 or 0.00, et
c).
The backup memory in the MSI-4260 stores the zero reading, and can
restore it
even if the power fails.
Rules for Use:
• 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.
• The scale must be stable within the Motion window
. The scale will not zero
if the stabilizer annunciator is off. The Scale will “remember” that it has a
zero request for 2 seconds. If motion ceases within the motion window in
that time, the scale will zero.
• The scale will accept a zero setting over the full Range of the scale (NTEP
an
d 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.
