Calibration Guide

INTRODUCTION

The MSI-6260CS Series crane scales are best calibrated using a remote indicator such as the MSI­3750CS, MSI-9850, or the MSI-9750A Handheld. Calibration procedures using these devices are covered
in their respective User Guides. If above listed remote devices are not in use with the MSI-6260CS, the
only way to calibrate it is through the Comm. Port using the Terminal Access Mode. MSI recommends
having test weights of at least 50% capacity to properly calibrate the Crane Scale. The calibration
procedures will operate with as little as 12.5% of capacity, though rated accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
For details of Multi-Point, Certified, or other specialized calibrations, refer to full version of MSI-6260CS
User’s Guide.

The following procedure describes how to perform a standard, single point
calibration for a single load cell MSI-6260CS Crane Scale. Some menu items may
appear slightly different than shown, depending upon actual software application
version. However, those relative to Scale Calibration are accurate.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:

1) PC or terminal with terminal program and RS-232 serial port.

2) Serial Communications cable, PN: 501705-0001.

3) Known calibration test weight between12.5 and 100% of the scale’s capacity.

ACCESSING EMBEDDED CELL SCALE

The MSI-6260CS Crane Scale is controlled by an embedded M SI-9000 CellScale. All scale functions
& operating parameters are stored within the MSI-9000.

1) Set the terminal program to emulate an ASCII terminal.

2) Set the terminal programs port protocol to 9600 Baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.

3) Disable flow control in the terminal program.

4). Tur n sc ale ON.

5). Connect the MSI-6260CS comport to the PC serial port with the 501705-0001 serial cable.

6). From PC, press ENTER. Main Cell Scale Manu will appear.
Select Channels/Calibration press 1.
