SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION & ORIENTATION

INTRODUCTION

The Measurement Systems International MSI-9750A RF Remote Indicator is an accessory component of MSI's

CellScale

System. Combined with 1 or more CellScales, the 9750A provides complete control over all scale and

data functions. The 9750A serves as a remote terminal for any CellScale and has no internal measurement capa-

bility. One 9750A can read the output of many CellScales, and 1 CellScale can also provide data to many 9750's.

The backlit, alphanumeric graphic display provides precise, unambiguous indication of operating modes such as

Net, Gross, or Total. The 9750A can calibrate a CellScale remotely and provides a user interface to the advanced

features of the CellScale. The CellScale system is digitally calibrated from either the 3750CS Indicator, a 9750A

Indicator, or with a terminal program hooked directly to the CellScale model 9000. The 9750A combined with a

CellScale is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of all regulatory agencies.

9750A DISPLAY SYMBOLS

The 9750A uses a full dot matrix graphics display which allows 3 sizes of fonts and full use of graphic symbols.

On standard single channel and multi-channel displays, certain symbols are used for scale speciﬁ c indications.

The motion symbol indicates that the weight has not settled within the motion window (usually ±1d). While this

symbol is illuminated, the scale will not zero, tare, or totalize.

Center-of-Zero – Indicates the weight is within 1/4d of zero. In the small font it appears as “

”.

The Sigma symbol is used to indicate a total weight

GRS – Abbreviation for Gross Weight

Low Battery Symbol – Appears when approximately 10% of battery life remains. The 9750A places the indicator

in various locations depending on the display mode

ton– Indicates US short tons equal to 2000 lb.

tne – Indicates metric tons equal to 1000 kg.

daN – Indicates the force measurement unit dekaNewtons.

Dashes indicate data not yet received from the CellScale, or the RF network is disconnected.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The 9750A is a versatile indicator capable of displaying many data items. As a member of the CellScale family

the 9750A does not stand alone. It is a slave device to a MSI-9000 CellScale. All data displayed on the 9750A is

received via RF from a master CellScale. Many menus in the 9750A depend on information from the CellScale.

Therefore, turn the CellScale on before using the 9750A.

Due to the high data rates in the CellScale system menus usually respond instantly. However there are times

when the CellScale is busy and it will not “service” the 9750A instantly in all circumstances. At these times you

may see the word “Pending” or dashes, or data placeholders which will indicate the CellScale has not yet sent

the required information. Weight displays have priority and are sent before all text strings are updated (such as

channel name, ID name, etc.).

The majority of CellScale installations have only a single scale input. In this case the Multiple Display modes

are not needed. However, even with only a single scale input, Math Channels are available which can be applied

for specialized applications.

1) Keys used in operations are printed in

and capitalized. Numeric keys are bracketed (e.g.

2) Setup procedures are usually shown with the shortcut method of reaching the menu. All menus can also be

reached through the “Setup Select Menu”. Use the

key to see all available menu choices.

3) Screen shots are shown for example. Many screens provide additional information to orient the user to the

scale channel, or ID, or selections made. For example, the Function Key Setup menu will show you the current

selection for each key. When you change the function, the previous menu changes to reﬂ ect your choice.

4) If a function key does not work, it is probably because the CellScale is not setup to support the key. For

example, if only one channel is deﬁ ned in the CellScale, pressing the

key will have no effect.

This also applies to the

key. If only one Network has been deﬁ ned, the

key has no

other Network to log onto.

5) Menu Titles are shown at the top of the LCD screen and are fully capitalized.

6) When space permits, selected parameters are shown at the right side fully capitalized.

7) Submenus with multiple choices use a highlighted arrow “

” to indicate current choice(s).

8) When in menus, the

key (same as

) drops back one menu level.

9) When in Setup Menus, the

key returns you directly to the Weight Display (Exit mode).

10) Cursor Keys (alternate functions of F1, F2, F5 and F6) only function in menus. Use the DOWN (

) cursor

key to enable the cursors then use the UP (

) or DOWN (

) cursor to select line items. Use,

, LEFT

(<), or RIGHT (

) cursor keys to rotate through menu choices or select the associated submenu.

11) If a submenu is associated with a menu choice, either highlight the menu choice with the cursor keys and

press

, or press the numbered key corresponding to the desired menu item.

12) If a menu applies to any channel, pressing the

key will select the next channel in the CellScale’s

scan list.

13) If a menu applies to any ID, pressing the

key will select the next ID in the CellScale’s ID list.

14) To input, for example, an ‘E’, ﬁ rst use the

key to change to alpha mode, then press

twice. If you

need two ‘E’s, pause brieﬂ y until the display cursor has moved to the next position, then press

twice.

15) In single display modes, pressing the

key highlights the whole display to indicate the next press of

a Function key will use the alternate mode (Enter-Function Key).

MSI CellScale® System • 9750A User Guide Page 9

The 9750A is simple to setup and use. If there are no peripheral devices such as a printer or bar code scanner,

setup consists of charging the battery, and setting the modem controls to talk to a 9000 CellScale.

The 9750A uses a high capacity Nickel Metal Hydride Rechargeable battery pack. The battery pack will power

the 9750A for up to 8 hours depending mainly on how much the LCD backlight is on. This is a custom battery

pack with over-temp and over-current protection designed for fast charging that must be replaced with MSI P/N

and can be charged at any time in the discharge cycle. NiMH batteries do have a fairly high self-discharge rate,

so if the unit is unplugged and idle for a long period of time, the batteries will require charging.

The 9750A LCD will display a low battery warning when there is about a half hour to an hour (depends on back-

light and battery age) of operating time remaining.

The 9750A is shipped with the battery pre installed. When the battery needs replacing, remove the 6 screws on

the back panel to gain access to the NiMH battery. Gently pull out the battery cable from the interior of the case.

There is a single latch on the connector that must be pushed to separate the battery cable from the 9750A. After

plugging the new battery in, stuff the connector back into the case interior, then reseal the battery cover.

CHARGER ADAPTER

The 9750A battery charger is integral to the 9750A. Input power can any source of 12-24VDC with a minimum

of 20 watts of power. MSI provides two charger sources: 1) Universal AC power: Operates from 86 to 265 VAC

45 to 440 Hz. 2) Vehicle Power: Works with vehicles with 12-24 VDC battery systems (cigarette lighter adapter).

The maximum drain on the power source is 20 watts, but this amount of drain is brief. The source current tapers

down as the battery charges. For 12V systems the maximum drain is about 1.5 amps. A 5A fuse is sufﬁ cient to

protect the vehicle electrical system while still providing enough peak power to charge the battery. The MSI

Cigarette Lighter Adapter (MSI P/N 12674) is internally fused with a 5A fuse.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Turn off the 9750A. Plug in the Charger Adapter in the charge port. Charging will take up to 2 hours depending

on how much the battery was discharged. The 9750A has a charge status indicator on the front panel. The charger

is in fast charge mode when the light is Red. When the light turns Green, the 9750A is ready for use.

The internal charger is a multi-stage charger. The external adapter can be left plugged in indeﬁ nitely. It will

continually pulse charge the battery preventing self discharge and keeping the battery topped off. If the 9750A is

used sporadically, MSI recommends leaving the adapter plugged in while the system is idle.

Firmware Version 5-XX for 2450 Modems

SECTION 2 – RF SCALE COMMUNICATIONS

The 9750A is a component of the MSI CellScale System. The CellScale system uses frequency hopping

spread-spectrum RF Modem technology transmitting in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

RF Modems have been problematic as the RF bands are very hostile, corrupted by noise, path loss and inter-

fering transmission from other radios. Even in a pure interference-free environment, radio performance faces

serious degradation through a phenomenon known as multipath fading, a problem particularly prevalent for

indoor installations. Multipath fading results when two or more reﬂ ected rays of the transmitted signal arrive

at the receiving antenna with opposing phase, thereby partially or completely cancelling the desired signal.

Spread spectrum reduces the vulnerability of a radio system to both interference from jammers and multipath

fading by distributing the transmitted signal over a larger region of the frequency band than would otherwise

be necessary to send the information. This allows the signal to be reconstructed even though part of it may be

lost or corrupted in transit.

Spectrum has been set aside at 2.4 GHz in most countries for the purpose of allowing compliant spread spec-

trum systems to operate freely without the requirement of a site license. In the USA, there are absolutely no

site licensing requirements. The CellScale system is also programmable for use in most European countries.

Please contact MSI for worldwide compliance information.

device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interfer-

ence to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference

at their expense.

The CellScale system uses frequency hopping which is produced by transmitting the data signal as usual, but

varying the carrier frequency rapidly according to a pseudo-random pattern over a broad range of channels, in

this case 86 discreet frequencies. These 86 frequencies are combined in different “hopping patterns” to provide 64

(0-63) separate networks. The CellScale network uses a ‘Star’ network topology. One unit, usually the CellScale,

is designated a ‘Master’. The Master transmits a sync pulse on a regular basis, providing synchronization of all

remotes in the designated Network. Thus it forms the center of a cell. MSI provides three products capable of

being the master unit: the CellScale, the 9300 Crane Scale, or the 6260 Trans-Weigh CS Crane Scale. Up to 16

remotes can access the master unit. Current MSI provided remote devices include the 3750CS Indicator, the 9750A

Handheld Indicator, the 9850 Indicator, and the 9020 CellModem. Multiple remotes can coexist on one network,

or can be easily switched to other networks as required.

The CellScale system uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) to arbitrate between multiple remotes. Each

remote is assigned a speciﬁ c time slot thus guaranteeing data throughput. The CellScale network uses a ‘Star’

network topology. One unit, usually the CellScale, is designated a ‘Master’. The Master transmits a sync pulse on

a regular basis, providing synchronization of all remotes in the designated Network. MSI provides ﬁ ve products

capable of being the master unit: the CellScale, the Smart CellModem 9000 (not 9020), the MSI-9260 ruggedized

Crane Scale, the MSI-9300 Porta-Weigh+ Crane Scale (with local display), or the MSI-6260CS Trans-Weigh CS

Crane Scale. Up to 15 slaves can access the master unit. The 9750A is always a ‘Slave’. Multiple 9750A units

can coexist on one network, or can be easily switched to other networks as required.

For more on setting up CellScale networks, please refer to the MSI-9000 CellScale User Guide.

ANTENNA

The 9750A uses a built in “Patch” antenna with no external visible element. The patch is located in the end of the

9750A above the display. In most installed CellScale networks, the patch antenna is essentially omnidirectional.

However, in systems where the 9750A is reaching the limits of transmission range, the 9750A will achieve better

range by pointing it toward the master CellScale’s antenna.

1) Lock Out Key – For added security in environments

where other CellScale modems are operating on the

same network, a Lock Out Key can be set which will

prevent modems from communicating. The Lock Out

key must also match in the master CellScale Modem.

DO NOT change this number from 0 unless all modem

elements are also changed as this will cause severe com-

munications problems.

2) 802.11 Avoidance – The 9750As modem can be set to

minimize interference with 802.11b RF networks in

common use for computer networks. You must deter-

mine which band the 802.11b modem is operating on

and then select the corresponding band to avoid. The

second page also includes a setting making the cellscale

legal in France. The CellScale master must also have the

same setting. DO NOT change the setting in this menu

without corresponding changes in all CellScale devices

in the network.

3) Scan Network – When On, this feature adds Network

address information to a current networks list. If this

9750A is to be used on multiple networks, turn the

“Scan Network” “ON” every time you log onto another

network that you may want to go back to. Then using

the

key, you can quickly scroll through all

stored networks.

4) Reranging – This feature sets the interval in which the

modem requests recomputation of the distance compen-

sation. The default is suitable for standard operation and

should not be altered.

The next line below Reranging gives a relative receive

signal strength. This value reports the relative signal

strength averaged over the last 10 hops. Larger values

indicate stronger signals.

My Address remains unchanged and is the same in any network.

TROUBLESHOOTING RF CONNECTION PROBLEMS

Most connection problems are caused by improperly set up RF Networks. Both the 9750A and the master CellScale

unit must have identical Network numbers. In addition, the CS Address must match on both units. If the Net-

work and/or CS Address of the CellScale is in question, you might have to connect a terminal to the CellScale to

determine its exact settings. See the CellScale manual for this procedure. Verify the 9750A settings are proper

by using the “CONFIGURE RF MODEM” procedure. Each slave device (9750As, 3750CS, and 9020s) must

have unique “My Address”.

A common cause of perceived problems is the “Phantom Network”. This occurs when there is a conﬂ icting Net-

work within broadcast range. Multi-CellScale sites must be planned carefully so that there are never two master

CellScales on the same Network within range of each other. Since the CellScale can broadcast for miles with

good LOS (line of sight) conditions, this consideration is very important. If you suspect your 9750A has locked

on to a distant (Phantom) network, try switching both the master CellScale and the 9750A slave to another unused

Network. MSI advises avoiding Network #0 when possible, as this is the Modem default, and therefore most

likely to be found on units that were left in default settings.

Weight displays, but 9750A keys don’t work

This is a result of changing the CS Address in the slave 9750A so it no longer matches the master CellScale. The

modem is still registered by the master CellScale, but control codes are not received because the master assumes

the codes are intended for a different slave CellScale. Change the CS Address in the 9750A back to the number

that matches the master CellScale.

This is usually a result of being in or near an “RF Null” zone. Because of multiple echoes of signals there is

sometimes locations that are particularly problematic even for Frequency Hoppers. Usually moving the antenna

location even a small distance can clear up this kind of problem. Avoid placing the antenna up against large metal

walls. Concrete walls can also be problematic due to their high moisture content. The antenna should be at least

4 inches away from large metal or concrete surfaces. Mounting the antenna too close to a wall has the effect of

making the Antenna directional and can attenuate the output.

Antenna placement is the most common cause of poor range. Check that the RF power level of the master and

slave units is on “High”. Radio signals in nearby bands that have signiﬁ cant power can also reduce range. Lon-

gest range will always be achieved by Line-of-sight (LOS) antenna placement. Any obstacle that interferes with

LOS will reduce the range. Signiﬁ cant blocking is caused by metal buildings, solid concrete walls, and any other

object that has fairly high electrical conductance. Raising the master antenna higher can help. Just moving the

relative antenna placement a short distance might ﬁ nd an RF “path” that will improve distance. The CellScale

can sometimes take advantage of reﬂ ecting surfaces to get around obstacles. CellScale device antennas should

always be placed in vertical polarization; that is the shaft of the antenna should be perpendicular to the earth,

not parallel. It is OK to mount the Antenna upside down. This is a good solution when an antenna is mounted on

the ceiling for communication with CellScale components in the building. The 9750A internal antenna is mildly

directional. Aim the end of the 9750A towards the CellScale master for longest range. In short range applications

(LOS and <500 feet) the 9750A is essentially omni-directional.

Some CellScale master units can take advantage of higher gain antennas.Yagi Antennas can greatly improve the

range of a CellScale system when installed on the master CellScale. These multi-element antennas are highly

directional and must be aimed towards the 9750A area of operation.

The CellScale system is designed using state of the art RF Modems. However there will be conditions and envi-

ronments where communication of telemetry is sporadic or impossible. Jamming of FHSS systems is difﬁ cult,

but not impossible. Bear in mind that the most likely source of jamming will be other CellScale systems on the

same network, within transmission range. The new breed of wireless phones (not Cell Phones) operating in the

2.4GHz bands will not jam a CellScale. However the CellScale may be received on the wireless phone and will

sound like a background ticking noise. Standard Cell Phones do not operate in the same bands as the CellScale and

will not interfere with CellScale components. However, a Cell Phone repeater tower nearby might have enough

out of band interference to reduce the range of CellScale equipment.

MSI CellScale® System • 9750A User Guide Page 15

1) Place the 9750A in close proximity of the master CellScale unit. Make sure communications are good

(weight is on the display, all data types have been reported).

2) Press the function key programmed for “RF Site Testing”. The bottom right side of the display will read

“RF xx%”. The per cent reading indicates the ratio of successful transmissions. It will start low at ﬁ rst,

then creep up. It should approach 100%, with an average reading of >96%.

If the reading does not achieve >96% within 1 minute try changing the CellScale Master device (MSI-9000, MSI-6260, MSI-9300, etc.) to a new network.

master.

3) Now start walking around the site with the 9750A. If the RF% reading starts down, stop and wait. Aim the

9750A towards the CellScale master and see if the RF% reading begins to rise again. If the display suddenly

reads “NETWORK”, you have lost communication. Return to the last place that communications were

working and wait for the 9750A to reconnect. In this way you can establish the range of adequate com-

munications, and note any areas with severe RF dropout. The location and height of the CellScale master

also plays a big part in range so be sure to run the site test with the CellScale in typical locations used in

your application.

4) Cancel the RF Site Test by pressing the function key again. If needed for some other function, reprogram

the function key.

The 9750A provides a means to check the efﬁ ciency of RF transmissions using the RF Site Testing function.

Program a function key (use the procedure in Section 4) to “RF Site Testing” to run the test.

CELLSCALE NETWORK AUTO SCAN

For installations where multiple CellScale systems are present, the 9750A can scan every network and determine

if a CellScale master device is broadcasting. Found CellScales can be copied directly into the RF Scan List at the

end of the test. Turn on all CellScale masters (MSI-9000, 6260CS, 9300, etc.) that your 9750A will be used with.

3) Next the RF network is contacted. If the network is functional, the display switches

change the Scan Network with the

key or turn on the proper CellScale

Master. Use of the

key assumes that multiple networks have previ-

ously set up. See “Setting the Network Address” on page 12.

Each CellScale is capable of hosting up to 32 independent scale inputs. Since any 9750A can communicate with

any CellScale, theoretically hundreds of scales can be controlled by a single 9750A. Because of the complexi-

ties of multiple channel setups, the 9750A is designed to access channels that have been previously setup in the

CellScale through its terminal interface or virtual meter interface.

Channels in the CellScale are organized by the A/D input channel followed by a Mux sub channel value. The

standard CellScale has two A/D inputs, but can be ordered with four A/D inputs with the addition of a second

A/D Converter module. Each A/D channel can be further divided by the use of external multiplexers into eight

additional inputs per channel, providing a total of up to 32 independent scale inputs. The channels are designated

like this:

Channel (A/D 1-4)

Sub channel (mux 1-8)

The channel will vary from 1-4 and the sub channel from 1-8. In addition the CellScale provides channel 5 for

slave CellScales, and channel 6 for math channels. Math Channels allow the user to add or subtract channels from

each other or perform other mathematical manipulations of the data. All calibration data for the 32 channels is

stored in the CellScale and is independent of the 9750A. Therefore any 9750A can receive calibrated data from

any CellScale provided the RF network is set up properly.

It should be noted that sub channels are useful even when the multiplexer option is not used. For example, chan-

nel 1-1 could be calibrated as a 1000 x 0.5 kg scale, and channel 1-2 as a 2000 x 1 kg scale, making a dual range

platform (of course this assumes the platform is capable of handling 2000 kg). This will work as long as the main

channel remains constant. So, in theory, 1 platform could be calibrated as 8 independent scales. This works because

the CellScale does not know or care if a Multiplexer is actually present. It treats the input as a separate scale.

The 9750A reads multiple channels by using the Scan list index. The “Scan list” is stored in the CellScale, with

up to 32 channels present in the list. The ﬁ rst number in the scan list is called the Scan List Index number. The

CellScale can have up to 32 Scan List indices. A scan list can include “Math Channels” which provide a means

to digitally add the results of multiple scales.

When dealing with multiple channels it is recommended that you set up the display to always show either the

Channel Number or the Channel Name or both. This will help in identifying which scale you are observing.

SELECTING THE ACTIVE CHANNEL

Before standard scale functions are performed, you must select the “Active Channel”. The “Active Channel” is the

channel that commands such as Zero, Tare, Total, etc. will be performed on. On single channel display screens,

the channel shown is the active channel. On Multiple channel displays, you must highlight the desired channel.

This is done with the Cursor Keys. Once highlighted you can perform all the standard scale functions (except

Total and View Total, these only work from the single channel display). You can also switch to the single channel

display by pressing the

key.

See the “DISPLAY MODE SETUP” section 7 for information on multiple and single channel weight display modes. For more information on Scan Lists and multiple

scale channels, please refer to the CellScale MSI-9000 Users Guide.

the case for MSI-6260CS, MSI-9300 Crane Scales, and other single load cell systems. However, even single load

cell systems can have math channels deﬁ ned to add functionality.

For systems with multiple scales attached to any given CellScale the setup procedure is:

1) Program the CellScale Scan List as required (see the CellScale Manual). It is recommended that each channel

is assigned a channel name to aid in identifying the scale in various display modes.

The 9750A is capable of storing Tare values through the use of the ID Codes. Each ID code stores an independent

Tare. See Section 3 “ID Codes” for more information.

SETUP TARE MENU

Programs the automatic TARE Clear function (Auto Clear), and the various Tare Modes including a means to

disable Tare.

The Auto Tare Clear is intended to automate loading operations where packaging must be tared out, but there is a

risk that the operator will forget to re tare each new package. It does this by automatically clearing the tare value

and reverting the weight mode back to Gross. The Setup Tare menu permits three modes of Auto Tare Clear: 1)

Disabled. 2) Set Clear on Minus - When the Net Weight goes negative (as it will when a tared package is removed),

the Tare value is cleared and the weight mode reverts to Gross. 3) Set Clear on Total - When the Total function

is enacted, the Tare value is cleared and the weight mode reverts to Gross.

4-5 UNIVERSAL TARE

The Universal Tare feature allows a single Tare value to be shared by all ID Codes. With “Same Tare All IDs”

enabled the individual Tares stored with each ID Code are ignored (but not erased). Selecting “Tare by Product

ID” will restore the original Tare values. Universal Tare is intended for those applications where a common car-

rier or pallet is used, but multiple ID Codes are necessary for data collection. To select Universal Tare choose

“Same Tare All ID’s” on the TARE SETUP MENU. This effects all IDs on any given scale channel, but not the

IDs associated with other scale channels.

Tare Settings Menu

Set Auto Clear Mode with the 1-3 keys. Only 1 item from 1-3 can be enabled at a time. Set the Universal Tare

mode with the 4-5 keys.

1 Disable Auto Clear – Pressing the

key turns off the function (default).

2 Set Clear on Minus – When the Net Weight goes negative (as it will when a tared package is removed), the

Tare value is cleared and the weight mode reverts to Gross.

3 Set Clear on Total – When the Total function is enacted, the Tare value is cleared and the weight mode reverts

to Gross.

4 Tare by Product ID – Each ID has a unique Tare when this selection is chosen (default).

5 Same Tare All ID’s – Pressing the

key enables the Universal Tare Mode.

Switches the display between Net and Gross modes. Net Weight is deﬁ ned as Gross Weight minus a Tare

Weight.

To Switch Between Net Mode and Gross Mode press the

key.

The

key will only function if a Tare value has been established for the current channel and the Tare

Mode is “NET/GROSS”. The Net/Gross function will affect all meters displaying this channel.

Switching back to Gross mode from Net mode will not clear the Tare value. This allows the operator to use the Gross Mode temporarily without having to reestablish

the Tare value. Only manually clearing the Tare or setting a new Tare will change the tare value held before switching into Gross Mode. In displays that include

the Net and Gross readings, the NET/GROSS key has no effect since both weight types are already displayed. However, other channels displaying just one weight

type will change.

returns to the Net Mode. The only way to return to permanent Gross readings is to clear the Tare (see Clear Tare procedure).

Allows easy weight units conversions. Up to 8 Units are available. See “SETUP UNITS” in the CellScale Manual

for details on activating the available units. Since Units are stored with each ID Code, the menu item for chang-

ing units is found in the “Product ID Codes” Menu. See section 3. Alternately, if changing Units is a common

operation, a Function key can be programmed for the task.

For example, if

is programmed for UNITS, then

change the current unit by pressing

. Each subsequent available unit will be found with repeated presses of

the

key.

Peak Hold is disallowed in Legal-for-trade systems.

Allows monitoring peak weight. Uses a special mode of the CellScale’s A/D converter for capturing transient

events.

To Capture Peak Weight Readings

1) Program a

key for “Toggle Peak Hold” (See Section 4).

2) Turn on the Peak Hold mode by pressing the selected

key. The display reads “PN” for Peak

Net readings, or “P” for Peak Gross to indicate peak hold mode is enabled. The display will only update

when a greater value than previously recorded is detected.

To Clear Peak Weight Readings

Turn off the Peak mode by pressing the

key programmed as “Toggle Peak Hold”. The display

reverts to Gross or Net and clears the peak value from memory.

To Start the Display Test

1) Press the

key followed quickly

by the

key. The MSI-9750A “Watch

Network” screen will appear.

2) Press the

key. The display test will

start. Each test screen will last 2 seconds.

3) To freeze on any screen, press the

key. To

continue the display test, press

again.

4) To return to the weight mode display, press

Peak Hold captures data at a reading rate set up by the CellScale A/D parameters. For High Speed Peak Hold, use a faster A/D rate. See CellScale Manual.

SEND / PRINT

Sends the current displayed reading to the Comm Port, the Data Logging Memory, or to a remote RF Host. Any

or all weight, time, date, and scale parameter functions can be printed as set in the Print Setup Mode (Section 9).

CUSTOM FUNCTION KEY LABELS

The “Enter ID String 1” and “Enter ID String 2” function keys provide the user some additional capabilities.

When designating a key for these text entry modes, the 9750A brings up a text entry screen that allows you to

give a custom 8 character label for the ID String. Once the label is entered, when the Function Key is pressed, the

resulting text entry screen will display the custom label. For example, you can program F1 as “Enter ID String 1”

and on the text entry screen, type in “Operator”. Now, whenever F1 is pressed, the text entry screen will display

“Operator” to show the user what type of data is expected.

In addition, the text entry screen allows you to preprogram what type of data, (numeric, upper case alpha, or lower

case alpha) the string will default to, what font size (small, medium, or large), and the screen format (full screen,

no menu items, or standard with menu items). Later, when the function key is pressed, the text entry screen will

come up in the mode that was set when the label was programmed. This allows you to preset the text entry for

numbers only or for text. See “General Text Entry” for details on how to enter strings.

SECTION 5 – ID CODES

• The CellScale can store 32 ID codes. The 9750A controls which ID Code is in use.

• Each ID Code stores a Tare Value, a Total Value, a weighment counter, display mode (Net, Gross, Peak, etc...),

Unit (lb., kg, ton, etc.), and two 20 byte ID code strings. Each ID code also computes and stores statistics of

Average, Min., Max., Standard Deviation, and Coefﬁ cient of Variance.

• ID Codes are created when a new name is entered by the user. The name can be all numbers, all letters, or a

combination of numerals and letters. Once the name is entered by the user, the CellScale scans its memory

to see if the ID Code already exists. If it does, all new totaled weighments are added to the previously totaled

weighments, and any preexisting Tare value will be used for NET weight computation. If the name did not

already exist, the CellScale creates a new ID Code.

• ID Codes are alphabetized when created using the standard ASCII convention.

• The 9750A uses the ID function key to scroll through all existing ID Codes as an alternate means of selecting

an existing ID code.

• The ID Strings are directly accessible by programming a Function key. The function key label can be custom-

ized on the LCD screen to indicate the usage of the string. Use the ID Strings for operator IDs, customer ID,

routing numbers, etc..

ID CODE STRING 1 & STRING 2

Each ID code can be further identiﬁ ed with one or two ID Code Strings. A string is simply a set of alphanumeric

characters that can be displayed and/or printed. Each string can be up to 20 characters in length. The MSI “@

codes” can also be embedded in the string which provides an extremely versatile output capability. With @codes

the result of the 20 character ID string may be greatly expanded. Also ID strings can be embedded in the main

print string to combine them with other data. See Section 7 – Comm Ports, for more details on programming “@

codes”.

Use the ID Code Strings to set up a print string that changes with every ID code. Combined with the standard

Comm Port print strings, the ID strings can be used to design a very sophisticated bar code label with three ﬁ elds

that change with every ID Code – the ID Code Name, and ID String 1 and 2.

The Function keys can be programmed to allow one button access to 1 or both ID Strings. This can be used for

Operator ID entry, or direct access to the label printer data when the ID string is embedded in the main Comm Port

output. Programming a function key for ID String 1 or ID String 2 also allows a text entry to identify the string.

For example, you could Label the key for ID String 1 “Operator” and ID String 2 “Customer”. Then by enabling

the function key labels, a clear identiﬁ cation of what the strings are for is on the LCD screen.

SECTION 6 – TOTAL / STATISTICS

TOTAL

• The 9750A can add independent weighments together and keep a counter of how many weighments were

added (Totaled). The Weighments counter can be thought of as a box or palette counter.

• “TOTAL” always uses the displayed weight, so gross and net readings can be added into the same total.

• There are two modes of Totaling which are set in the SETUP TOTAL section. The Manual mode uses the

key to add the current weight to the previously totaled value. The Auto mode will automatically add

the last, settled value to the total (or optionally the highest value). See “SETUP TOTAL” for instructions to

enable the AUTO TOTAL modes.

• Both modes have a means to prevent the same load from totaling twice. Once totaled, the load must be

removed from the scale before a new load can be added to the Total. Applied weight must be greater than

the Total Threshold before it can be totaled. See “SETUP TOTAL” for instructions on how to set the Total

Threshold.

Rules for use:

menu.

2) Only readings above the High Threshold can be accumulated.

3) The scale adds the current reading (relative to the Net zero or Gross zero depending on mode) to the contents

of the accumulate register.

4) After a weighment is totaled, the weight must go below the Total Threshold before another weight can be

added to the total. This assures that a weight on the scale is only added to the total once.

AUTO TOTAL

SETUP Option, see “SETUP TOTAL” to enable Auto Total.

When the weight exceeds the Total Threshold the total function operates automatically.

There are 5 modes of Auto Total. Each mode is used in slightly different ways.

Mode 1, Autonorm: The displayed weight is held in a holding register and added when the weight returns below

the Total Threshold. The last settled reading is what will be used for totaling when the scale returns below the

Total Threshold. The user must make sure that while removing the load the scale does not stabilize enough for

a new reading or an erroneous weighment addition could occur. The last settled weight is actually added to the

total when the scale returns to below the Total Threshold.

Mode 2, Autopeak: The “AUTOPEAK” total mode works the same as Autonorm, except that the highest settled

reading will be used for totaling on return to zero, rather than the last settled reading.

Mode 3, Autoload: totals the applied weight as soon as the weight is stable (Motion Indicator off). Additional

weight cannot be totaled until the weight drops below the Total Threshold

Mode 4, Loaddrop: After pressing the

key, the CellScale starts a long term, motion compensated (if the

motion compensation option is installed in the CellScale), average of the current weight that ends when the weight

is dropped. This method is designed for commodity weighing of scrap metal, or other types of materials that are

loaded into rail cars, trucks, hoppers, etc., usually with a crane.

Place the weight to be totaled on the scale. When the weight has stabilized, press the

Key

The current weight is added to the total register. If the display is setup to display the total, the display gives

an indication of how many weighments have been totaled. i.e. 6 #. There may be a small delay before the

CellScale reports back to the 9750A the new Total and Total weighments.

is removed (weight drops below the total threshold). When combining print modes with

modes if an immediate current weight and totaled weight printout is required.

Mode 5, Onaccept: In conjunction with target weights set up in the set points menus, the Onaccept total mode

will automatically total settled readings that fall within the preselected accept weight window. See Section 8 “Set

Points” for information on setting accept limits.

abled for legal-for-trade systems.

HIGH TOTAL THRESHOLD –

LOW TOTAL THRESHOLD –

Sets the weight value above which Totalizing is

allowed. For example, setting the high threshold

to 10% on a 200 kg scale will set the threshold at

20 kg. Only weight above 20 kg will add to the

Total. Once totaled, the weight must return below

the Low Threshold to enable the next totalizing.

This prevents the same weight from being totaled

twice. Another example: On a scale with a capac-

ity of 1000 kg the user desires to Auto Total all

weight that exceeds 50 kg. Since 50 kg is 5% of

Threshold is entered in 1% increments.

Minimum Thresholds are 1% for the high, and 0% for the low.

STATISTICS

Statistics works in conjunction with the Total function and adds MIN, MAX, Average, Standard Deviation, and

Coefﬁ cient of Variance. All these computations are kept for every ID Code independently. The number of samples

that statistics can be calculated for is limited only by memory requirements and will vary from a few thousand to

>100000 samples. Individual samples are not stored. If needed, individual samples can be logged through either

the RS-232 port or into data logging memory using the “PRINT on TOTAL” function.

A “GRAND TOTAL” function is also included with the Statistics function. The Grand Total adds all the weight

in all the ID Codes and provides the following information: GRAND TOTAL, Number of Totals, and the Overall

Average (GRAND TOTAL divided by Number of Totals).

Statistics are viewed using the

key, then selecting “STATS” with the

key, or program a func-

tion key to “Show Statistics” .

AVERAGE – is computed by dividing the total by the number of samples.

MIN – is a single weight register that records the minimum weighment that was added to the total.

MAX– is a single weight register that records the maximum weighment that was added to the total.

STANDARD DEVIATION – is a measure of how widely values are dispersed from the average value (the

mean). The 9750A uses the “non-biased” or “n-1” method that is based on sampling a portion of each available

weighment. Standard Deviation uses the following formula where x is equal to the total, and n is equal to the

number of samples:

COEFFICIENT OF VARIANCE – is a relative dispersion calculated from the sample standard deviation and the

mean with the following formula:

GRAND TOTAL – is computed by adding together the totals of all the ID Codes (adjusted to the default unit set

in calibration if necessary).

GRAND AVERAGE – is computed by dividing the Grand Total by the number of samples of all the ID Codes.

To Lock the Keyboard

The 9750A offers the user a great deal of ﬂ exibility in how weight and other information is displayed. There are

ﬁ ve single channel preset displays and ﬁ ve multiple channel preset displays. These presets cover the majority of

user applications. However, the 9750A also allows complete customizing of how scale data is presented on the

display.

There are two basic weight display modes, Single Channel, and Multiple Channel. The single channel display is

the primary weight display, and is used as the display mode when a channel is highlighted and switched out of

the multiple channel display. If your CellScale is equipped with multiple channels, the display can be set up to

show up to eight channels at once.

When setting up Weight Displays, the 9750A shows a preview of how the screen will be formatted. Abbrevia-

tions for preview screens indicate what kind of data will be presented in each screen location. Dashes are used to

indicate the maximum screen space the data will occupy.

Single Channel Preset Displays

The 9750A utilizes a programmable full dot matrix display capable of multiple font sizes. The smallest font is

a 5x7 dot count in a 6x8 cell yielding a maximum character count of 20 characters in 8 lines. The medium font

is a 7x15 in a 8x16 cell which provides up to 4 lines of 16 characters. The large font allows up to two lines of 8

characters. When the weight is displayed in the large font, smaller characters for units, Net/Gross mode, COZ,

and motion allow the large font to contain all necessary weight data. In the following preset display descriptions

the data is located by lines 1-8 relative to the smallest font.

Standard & Products – This display shows ID Code data for Totalizing. Lines 1-4: Large

weight display (-Weight-). Line 5: shows the ID Name and ID Code number. Line 6: the total

weight and the Network Address. Line 7: shows the number of samples in the Total and the

channel number. Line 8: the Date and Time. When entering numbers, the Time display will be

overwritten temporarily.

Net Gross Tare – For applications that need to see the Net weight, Gross weight, and Tare

weight simultaneously. Lines 1-4: Large Net Weight display (-Weight-). Line 5: Gross Weight

and the Channel number. Line 6: The Tare Weight and the network address. Line 7: the Chan-

nel Name (if programmed in the CellScale). Line 8: the Date and Time. When entering num-

bers, the Time display will be overwritten temporarily.

If no Tare value is set the Net weight and Gross weight will equal each other. While in this display the Net/Gross key will have no effect

since both Net and Gross Weight are already shown. However, pressing the Net/Gross key will change the display mode for other devices

connected to the master CellScale.

Standard & Strings – This display shows ID Code Strings for user data entry. Lines 1-4: Large

weight display (-Weight-). Line 5: shows the ID Name and ID Code number. Line 6: the total

weight and the Network Address. Line 7: shows the number of samples in the Total and the

channel number. Line 8: the Date and Time. When entering numbers, the Time display will be

overwritten temporarily.

Multi-channel presets use the scan list position to assign channels to speciﬁ c locations. After selecting the preset

multi-channel display, the user can reassign any channel in the scan list to any screen location.

The Multi-Channel Preset Displays are described by line numbers 1-8 corresponding to the small font layout. The

numbers in the sample screens and descriptions correspond to the scan list position index (SLI).

The 9750A reads the scan list out of the master CellScale. If a multi-channel preset is selected that allows more

channels than the CellScale has in its scan list, the preset will show just the available channels. If space allows

the Date and Time will appear on the bottom line (Line 8).

3 Ch -1 lg, 2 sm – This display is primarily intended for summing where scan list positions

However, any type of channel list can be used with this display and the list order can be

changed after this preset is selected. Lines 1-4: SLI 3 large current weight display (-Weight-).

Line 5: SLI 1 Current Weight and Network address. Line 6: SLI 1 Channel Name (if pro-

grammed in the CellScale). Line 7: SLI 2 Current Weight. Line 8: SLI 2 Channel Name.

4 Ch - 4 sm + data – This display shows four channels along with each channels Channel

Name. The Channel name must be programmed into the CellScale for it to appear. If less than

four channels exist in the scan list, the bottom channel will be replaced with the date/time/enter

number line. Line 1: SLI 1 Current Weight preceded by the scan list number. Line 2: SLI 1

Channel Name. SLI 2-4 follow the same format.

2 Ch -2 med+ data – This display shows two channels along with each channels 8 character ID

Name and 20 character ID String 1. Lines 1-2: SLI 1 Current Weight preceded by the scan list

number. Line 3: SLI 1 Channel Number (e.g. 1-1), SLI 1 ID Name, and the Network Address.

Line 4: SLI 1 ID String 1. Line 5-6: SLI 2 Current Weight preceded by the scan list number.

Line 7: SLI 2 Channel Number (e.g. 2-1), SLI 2 ID Name. Line 8: SLI 2 ID String 1.

4 Ch - 4 med – Displays 4 channels in the 9750A medium size font. The weight data is pre-

ceded by the scan list position index number (1-32). If less than four channels exist in the scan

list, the bottom channel will be replaced with the date/time/enter number line. Lines 1-2: SLI 1

Current Weight preceded by the scan list number. Lines 3-4: SLI 2 Current Weight preceded by

the scan list number. Lines 5-6: SLI 3 Current Weight preceded by the scan list number. Lines

CUSTOM DISPLAY SETUP

The 9750A weight display is fully customizable. Both the single channel and multi-channel displays can be

customized. All available data types plus custom text can be located anywhere on the screen in any of three font

sizes: 1) Large Font – Used primarily for weight displays, the large font offers up to 8 characters in two rows.

When used as a weight display the 9750A automatically ﬁ ts in mode (Net, Gross, Tare), motion, COZ, and units

in smaller characters. 2) Medium Font – Used for all data types, the medium font offers up to 16 characters in 4

rows. 3) Small Font – Used for all data types, the small font offers up to 20 characters in 8 rows.

Decide what type of data you wish to see and what is the most important data. This important data could be dis-

played in the large or medium fonts, and other less important data should be displayed in the small font. Use the

text mode to label function keys with custom titles to aid in the operation of your system.

For example, use text to label line 7 “F3 Customer” and place ID String 1 next to it. Then use text to label line 8 “F4 Operator” and place ID String 2 next to it.

Program the F keys to match. Now you have an easy way to enter your required data.

If your system has multiple channels, make sure you provide both a single channel and multiple channel display

setup. In multi-channel displays, it is usually best to supply the same data for each individual channel display

similar to avoid confusion. However, if one channel is primary, it is easy to distinguish it by making it larger than

other channels. In any multi-channel screen, you can display from 2 to 8 channels, assuming that the CellScale

Scan List includes at least 8 channels. CellScales with more than eight channels use the page mode to observe

all channels. Select a preset display that is closest to your needs, then edit it. If no preset display is close, use the

“CLR Screen” command to start from a completely empty display.

A space is reserved for the enter number field, which can be overwritten with other types of data.

Screen Formatting

The 9750A LCD Screen allows a wide variety of scale display screen setups. The illustrations here demonstrate

some of the possibilities. The custom display setup menus control the type and placement of available data types.

The LCD is a graphics type organized in rows and columns. The row size is ﬁ xed at 8 rows of 8 pixels each for a

total vertical size of 64 pixels. Column numbering depends on the font size chosen; 8 columns in the large font,

LARGE FONT – occupies 4 rows and is up to 8 columns wide. Shown here is

the maximum characters that can be shown in large font - 2 rows of 8 charac-

ters. The full ASCII character set is supported in the large font. Weight displays

in the large font add special characters for mode, units, COZ, and motion. All

other types of data are limited to 8 characters maximum.

The large font can occupy rows 1-4 or 5-8.

Large font characters can also occupy rows 3-6 as illustrated here. However

locating large font data on rows 3-6 prevents large font in other rows in the

same column.

Columns 1-4

Columns 5-8

12345678

MEDIUM FONT – occupies 2 rows and is up to 16 columns wide. Shown here

is the maximum number of medium characters possible.

The medium font must occupy rows 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8. You cannot have a

medium font that occupies, for example, rows 2 and 3.

SMALL FONT – occupies 1 row and is up to 21 columns wide. This allows the

most information possible.

The small font can start on any row 1-8.

MIXING FONT SIZES – The custom display setup allows the user to mix font

sizes as needed. Use the large font for the primary weight display and mix in

medium and/or small fonts for less important data.

Here are examples of mixing font sizes on the screen. The ﬁ rst screen is an

example of a viable weight display with current weight programmed in the

large font, occupying rows 1-4. The Gross weight could occupy rows 5-6 in

medium font. Other scale information could be placed in small font on rows 7

and 8.

This example shows using the large font in the middle rows 3-6 and then plac-

ing other information above in 2 rows of small font, and below in 1 row of

medium font.

This ﬁ nal example shows the versatility of the setup menus. Here we have

small and medium fonts mixed on the same lines, and 1 character of large font

(perhaps used to identify the scale being used) placed at column 1 rows 3-6.

The bottom two lines of the Row Setup menu illustrate what the line has programmed into it. Data is displayed in

row pairs. For example, while programming row 6, row 5 and 6 will be illustrated. When data from another line

is present, as it will be with the large font, the preview area will show as lines. Diagonal lines are used for the

large font (slanted left for top half and right for the bottom half), horizontal lines for medium font, and vertical

lines for the small font. If space is available on the requested line, it will show as a blank area. If the occupying

text is in the current font choice, you will be able to read the selected data type. In large font the display is in 1/2

scale so that two lines can represent the required 4 lines. In medium font, the double line is represented 1 to 1.

In small font, two lines are shown (paired 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8) so you see the line you are programming as well

as the adjacent line.

When the line is occupied, you have three choices: 1) Pick another line. 2) Delete all data from the line by pressing

. 3) Delete just the data in the current font from the line by pressing

. This choice is needed only when

there are mixed fonts in the line area.

Selecting Items for Display

The custom display setup menus provide access to all the data the scale can provide. When an item is present on

the display, it will have an arrow next to its selection number. The length of some data items are ﬁ xed, but many

have variable lengths. When an item is selected for the ﬁ rst time, a number entry screen will appear (if it is a

variable length data item) allowing you to decide the length of the data. Beneath each item is the “Column Start”

selection which allows you to change the starting location. The 9750A adjusts the available start column range

in order to allow the whole length of the ﬁ eld to ﬁ t. For example, picking ID String 1 as a data allows up to 20

characters in the small font. If you leave the ﬁ eld length at 20, the only available starting point is 1. However, if

you shorten the ID String 1 length to 10, the start column can range from 1 to 11.

number, and then entering the parameters for the current line you are setting

up.

This screen illustrates that the current weight is on the line you are now set-

ting up, and it starts at column 1. Since only the large font will ﬁ t a weight

display in 8 characters, the start column will not allow a change.

This screen illustrates a 14 character gross weight on a small font line, and it

starts at column 6. If the line you are setting up is a small font line, the start

column will range from 1 to 6. In the medium font, the start column will

Firmware Version 5-XX for 2450 Modems

SECTION 8 – SET POINTS

INTRODUCTION

The CellScale system provides extensive Set Point capabilities. Up to 32 Set Points are available. The CellScale

performs the A/D conversions and does limit checking for all the Set Points. The 9750A receives Set Point infor-

mation from the CellScale and responds as programmed.

All 32 Set Points are setup from either the CellScale Terminal Interface, from a 3750CS, or from the 9750A. All

Set Point value parameters are stored in the CellScale and are independent of any other device, including the

9750A. When a Set Point is tripped (true condition) and when it resets, the CellScale transmits to all connected

9750’s a message signifying which Set Point tripped and/or reset. The 9750A can display messages for both

tripped and reset conditions.

The 9750A Meter can ﬁ ll a variety of applications in control, batching, safety and informational warnings. Set

points can be used to trigger RS-232 data transmissions (see “COMM PORTS”). All 32 Set Points can put an

independent message on the display for both tripped and reset conditions.

The 9750A can respond to the Set Point transmission in several ways:

1) Audible Alarm – 4 unique tones available for both set and reset conditions.

2) Display a message on the alphanumeric display in 3 font sizes. Using the large font size, the whole display

provides a set point indication. The medium font size takes over the bottom two lines with up to 16 characters.

The small font size takes over the bottom line with up to 20 characters.

3) Send a message out the RS-232 port of the 9750A. This message can include weight parameters, time, date,

and any random text the user requires (using MSI @ codes).

These actions are independent of what the CellScale does, and are independent of other 9750’s or 3750CS’s that

might be on the Network. These Set Point actions are stored only in the 9750A and must be programmed inde-

pendently in all 9750’s used in the system.

All parameters related to the Set Point values are stored only in the CellScale, programmed by a 3750CS or a

9750A via RF, or by the Teminal Interface program directly into the CellScale. These parameters include the

following:

2) An “Operator” for each value (Oper 1 and Oper 2) which speciﬁ es whether the Set Point is Less Than, Greater

Than, etc..

3) An Operator Relationship (Op Relat) which speciﬁ es an “AND” or “OR” relationship between Value 1 and

Value 2.

4) A “Trigger Type” for each value (Trigtyp1 and Trigtyp2) which speciﬁ es if the Set Point responds to Gross

weight, Net weight, Total weight, or number of samples in the total (nSamples). “nSamples” can also be

thought of as a box counter or load counter.

5) Preact, Postact, and Deadzone – These parameters modify the value of the Set Point for process control

applications. The effect of these value modiﬁ ers is detailed below.

6) Input Source – This parameter relates the Set Point to a position in the Channel List. This allows any Set

Point to be assigned to any input channel or Math channel in the Cell Scale.

The Channel list must be configured in the CellScale. It cannot be programmed from the 9750A.

7) Output Destination – The output destination list is also conﬁ gured in the CellScale and is used to direct Set

Point outputs at the CellScale end. See the CellScale manual for further information on this parameter.

The Output Destination list must be configured in the CellScale. It cannot be programmed from the 9750A.

8) Latching – Any Set Point can be conﬁ gured to Latch on when tripped so even when the set point is no longer

true the output remains on.

9) Delay – Any Set Point can be delayed by up to 10 seconds (10000 ms). Often used to prevent spurious Set

Point outputs.

parameters.

MSI CellScale® System • 9750A User Guide Page 49

1) Program Set Point – Enter the set point

number from 1 to 32. This determines

the set point that subsequent menus

will operate on. Go to “PROGRAM

SET POINT” menu (next page).

2) Set Points Enabled/Disabled – This

is the master switch for all set points.

When disabled no Set Point will oper-

ate. You must Enable the set points here

for any set point to operate.

3) View Status – The LCD displays all 32

Set Points along with a status indication.

The 9750A queries the master CellScale

for status. This can take several seconds

to fully update (a low priority task for

the CellScale). Select the desired Set

Point to program with either the cursor

keys, or key in the number.

Pressing a number from 1-3 will cause groups to highlight

immediately to Set Points 1-3, press the ENTER key after

pressing 1-3. Press the ALPHA key to see the Set Point

names (if any) entered in the 9000.

Once the desired Set Point is high-

lighted, pres s th e

key to

set up the set point response. Go to

“PROGRAM SET POINT” menu (next

page).

4) View Status w/Name – Same as above

except the Set Point name is displayed

along with the Status. Press the

key to enter or edit a set point name. Use

the Cursor keys to see the second half

of set points (17-32).

5) Clear Latches – Any set point that is

latched on is cleared with this selection.

However, if the tripped condition still

exists, the set point will remain on and

latched.

SET POINT SETUP MENU

There are three ways to program values, operators, and remote relays for Set Points. 1) Use the Terminal Interface

Mode at the CellScale, 2) use a 3750CS, or 3) use the 9750A.

To Enter the Set Point Setup Menus

9750A RESPONSE MENU

The 9750A responds to set points in three ways: with an audible alarm, a message display, or a message sent to

comm port 1. These menus program this response.

1) Audible Alarms – 5 different tones are available

for the tripped condition and/or the reset condition.

Audible alarms stay on until either the condition

clears, or any 9750A button is pressed. Press

to hear the tone. Adjust the volume

of the alarm tone by pressing the

key (

2) Alarm Display – Display a message on the 9750A

LCD. Messages replace all or part of the current

up to 20 characters. Alarm messages stay on until

either the condition clears, or until acknowledged

by the user by pressing any key. See a sample of

the display mode by pressing

. Edit

the message display by pressing

for the trip

message or

for the reset message.

3) Alarm to Comm1 – Provides a means to make a

printed or stored log of alarm events. The 9750A

will output a message to the Comm Port or to

datalogging memory (see Comm Port setup) when

the set point trips and/or resets. All 32 Set Point

messages are up to 64 Bytes long each and can

include MSI @Codes allowing the recording of

weight, date, time, and other data when the set

point occurs. Press

to edit the trip print string

to edit the reset print string. Pressing

will cause the string to output to the comm

port or memory (depending on the Comm Port

settings).

Clearing Audible Alarms and Display Messages

The audible alarm and display message will continue until the condition is cleared or you press any key. If multiple

alarms occur, the alarms are prioritized by Set Point number. Set Point 1 has priority over all set points. Set Point

2 has priority over all set points except Set Point 1, and so on.

SECTION 9 – COMMUNICATION PORTS

INTRODUCTION

• The MSI 9750A is equipped with a single RS-232 serial input / output. The Comm Port is intended for inter-

facing printers, data loggers, scoreboards, and computers to the 9750A Meter. The real-time clock allows the

user to time and/or date stamp any data obtained from the 9750A. Planned for future release is an interface

to Bar Code Scanners.

• The data output is fully format able. The 9750A, under menu control will print control characters for easy

interfacing to any label printer. An initialize string combined with start string, product labels, user program-

mable data, weight data, and end strings, provides complete control over printed data.

• Many scales and weigh meters suspend weighing operation while printing and will not function until a print

job is completed. The MSI 9750A RS-232 output uses advanced DMA (direct memory access) techniques

for transmitting the print strings. This prevents long print jobs from interfering with scale operation.

Comm Port Function

The RS-232 output is used in conjunction with the SEND/PRINT key to output weight and total data to a printer.

In addition there are several automatic print modes including print on Total, when there is a weight change, or

when a set point is reached. Interval and continuous printing is available for data logging or interfacing Scoreboard

displays. The SEND/PRINT key can also trigger remote data output to other devices on the CellScale network.

The electrical characteristics of the serial input / output conform to the EIA Standard EIA-232-D (downward

compatible with RS-232C). Comm Port 1 is conﬁ gured as DTE. Cable connections include RXD (input), TXD

(output), Ground, CTS (input), RTS (output), and Shield Ground (also known as Frame Ground). CTS/RTS

handshaking is optional and the lines do not need to be connected. Bar Code enabled 9750A have 6-9 Volts DC

on pin 9. This voltage will not harm any standard PC ports, but its effect on the RI line

The 9750A uses a standard DE-9 Male connector, compatible with commonly available serial cables. To connect

the 9750A to standard PC’s use a 9 pin female to 9 pin female null modem cable.

The 9750A serial port is conﬁ gured with the “Comm 1 & Strings” Menus. Standard data conﬁ guration is:

Data Strings

A Data String is simply a collection of characters stored in memory, that are used to format the Comm Port output

or Data Logging memory. Data Strings are deﬁ ned by the user. The length of the formatting strings are limited to

512 characters. However, since 3 or 4 character commands can cause an output of up to 99 characters in length,

the 512 limit does not represent the maximum size of the data output. The 9750A offers the programmer the abil-

ity to print or store any and all weight data, time and date stamp, and formatting controls suitable for even the

most complex bar code printer.

Data Format

Each transmitted reading consists of a number of programmable character strings. Data is completely user pro-

grammable and can include formatting characters, Time and Date, and text in addition to all weight parameters.

The End-of-Line string is used for Carriage Return or other end-of-line control characters. These are easily entered

through the Comm Ports menu or downloaded through a computer.

TRIGGER PRINT

The MSI 9750A serial port functions in any of 10 Trigger Print modes:

fast the weight data updates is determined by the transmission rate in the Master CellScale. “Motion Check”

determines if printing is allowed (Motion Check Off) or disallowed (Motion Check On) when the weight is

not stable.

2) Send / Print Key – This is a print on command mode which works when the Send / Print key on the front

panel is pressed. The Send / Print key is active in all modes unless disabled with the Function key setup or

the weight is in motion and/or not stable.

3) Print on CTS (Clear to Send, a RS-232 handshake line) – By toggling the CTS line from space to mark, the

print string will be transmitted. If an interval is set, the string will continue to print as long as CTS is asserted.

“Motion Check” determines if printing is allowed (Motion Check Off) or disallowed (Motion Check On)

when the weight is not stable.

4) Print On Weight Change – Every time the weight changes 1 full display count or more, one transmission of

data will occur. “Motion Check” determines if printing is allowed or disallowed when the weight is in motion

and/or not stable. Interval has no effect in this mode.

5) Print on Stable Load – When the load weight exceeds the Total Threshold and motion ceases, one transmis-

sion of data will occur. Once transmitted, the scale must return below the Total Threshold to re-enable the

transmission. Interval has no effect in this mode.

6) Print On Total – When the weight is totaled, one transmission of data will occur. Once transmitted, the scale

must return below the Total Threshold (See Total Setup) to re-enable the transmission. Interval has no effect

in this mode.

7,8,9,10) Print on Set-Point – Set point 1, Set point 2, Set Point 1 and 2, or Set-point 1 or 2 can be conﬁ gured to

trigger a data print. Once transmitted, the set-point must go off then on again to transmit again. Print on a set

point can also be conﬁ gured to print when two set-points are true (AND) or when either Set Point 1 or Set

Point 2 are true (OR). This conﬁ guration allows printing when the weight is outside two limits or when the

weight is inside two limits (windowed). “Motion Check” determines if printing is allowed (Motion Check

Off) or disallowed (Motion Check On) when the weight is not stable.

In addition to the Control modes above, the master CellScale can also force formatted print strings out the Comm

Port. See the CellScale manual for more information on Set Point messages and other types of remotely gener-

ated messaging.

There is also a special print mode used with the VIEW key. Pressing

(F-Key programmed for View

Total) followed immediately by the PRINT key will output just the current ID Codes total and Total Count. See

“@W7” for formatting information on this special output.

COMM PORT SETUP MENU

ENTER EDIT STRINGS

by the 9750A Meter.

1) Data Out String: This is the main formatted output string. Any weight or other data can be included with the

use of the MSI “@” codes. Up to 512 Bytes

2) End String: The End string can be 0 to 64 characters long. Most commonly used for Carriage Return (CR)

or Line Feed (LF), or CR/LF. The EOL string defaults to Carriage Return / Line Feed. See “Programming

the End of Line String for an example.

3) Start String: The Start string can be 0 to 64 characters long. It is intended for commonly used commands that

usually precede printed lines. Typically ESC codes are used on some printers to enable or format the print

string. The start of line string is usually referred to as the “SOL string”. The string defaults to empty.

4) Wait Character: The “WAIT CHARACTER”, if entered, will cause the print output to pause after each EOL

string until the designated character is received by the port. To use the Wait Character mode, the Comm Port

mode must be Duplex. Once the proper Wait Character has been received the 9750A will output the next data

string up to the next EOL string.

5) Aux String: The Aux String is an additional formatted output string primarily intended for use in the Data

Logging feature to provide additional information embedded in the data stream.

6) Ack String: The Acknowledge String is sent back to the Host port that sent a message to this 9750A. See

“Text Messaging” for more detail. This string defaults to the ASCII ACK command but any message up to

32 bytes can be entered.

OUTPUT INTERVAL

means that after the trigger condition, a single trans-

mission of data will occur. For continuous output, a print interval can be entered from 50ms to 50 days in 50ms

increments. Used in conjunction with the Continuous Trigger mode, this can generate a time based data-logging

system. An interval of 50 milliseconds means that the scale will output data at the highest rate possible (also

limited by the transmission rate from the CellScale). Interval used with other control modes can be useful for

control and monitoring purposes.

for software handshaking commonly used in communicating with computers. Use “Hardware DCE”

for interfacing with

devices with an RTS output and CTS input. Use “Hardware DTE”

if the 9750A must produce RTS as an output and CTS

as an input. “Hardware RTR/CTS”

protocol provides a symmetrical interface. When a device is ready to receive data, i.e.,

there is no unread data in the serial port receive register, the device asserts the RTR signal. A device does not begin transmitting

data until the CTS signal is asserted. Use NONE

(default) for situations where no handshaking is required or possible. It is

recommended that hardware handshaking is used for all high baud rate applications (>19200 Baud).

TRIGGER PRINT ON

“Trigger Print On’ menu designates

the condition that causes the 9750A

to output data. The Send / Print key

will always work unless speciﬁ -

cally locked out or the function key

is reassigned. When the designated

trigger condition occurs, the print

string speciﬁ ed in the “Data Out

String” will be output on Comm 1. If

the “Motion Check” parameter is set

to “ON”, the weight must be stable

before the 9750A will output data.

If a valid trigger occurs, the 9750A

will wait for the next settled (out of

Motion) reading before it will output

data. See descriptions of the Trigger

Print modes in the “Trigger Print”

section above.

SERIAL SETTINGS

Serial Settings menu is used to set

standard Comm Port parameters.

See “To Set The Baud Rate” for an

example of how to use these setting

menus.

STOP BITS: Stop Bits are not changeable and

set to 1.

Rates available are 300, 600,

76800, 115200, and 230400. The

9750A defaults to 9600 Baud.

2) DATA BITS: Either 7 or 8 Data

Bits can be set. If 7 bit mode is

set, Data Characters above 127dec

cannot be sent or received. The

default is 8 bits.

3) PARITY: Parity mode is NONE

Par ity, EVEN or ODD. The

9750A defaults to “NO Parity”.

5) MODE: The MODE menu sets the communications mode for the port. Use “TALK” for outputting data to a

printer that uses hardware handshaking or no handshaking. Use “DUPLEX” for printers with software hand-

shaking (XON / XOFF, etc.) or to talk and listen to a computer. Use “LISTEN” to only receive commands

from a computer. Use “OFF” to disable the port (and save power on battery units).

GENERAL TEXT ENTRY

The 9750A keypad supports full alphanumeric data entry. Numbers, letters, and ASCII control characters are easily

handled through the use of the “General Text Entry Menu”. While in any string entry screen, pressing

will

bring up the text entry menu providing access to special characters and font control. In addition, the full screen

mode can be enabled which removes the information in favor of showing more characters. Even in full screen

mode, F4 is still active.

For characters not in the standard ASCII table, the decimal entry mode is provided. This mode allows access to

characters above 127 (decimal). Characters from 128d to 255d are used for special characters and graphics by

many printers. Note that outputting characters above 127d requires that the serial setting for data bits is set to 8

(see serial settings menu).

Text strings are edited using the cursor keys and the INS key (alternate function of the

key). The INS key

toggles between the insert mode (narrow cursor between characters) and the character edit mode (character is

highlighted). When a character is highlighted, use the keypad to change the character. Also while the character

is highlighted, a larger representative character is shown in the lower left corner of the screen. This allows the

display of special characters which are held by placekeepers in the smaller fonts.

Firmware Version 5-XX for 2450 Modems

The 9750A can format virtually any Printer or Serial Data Device including complex bar-code label printers

through the use of the built in string formatting. To use this versatile feature, the user must input command codes

and data in a speciﬁ c manner. Each command code consists of a 2 letter mnemonic. Some command codes also

require a numeric sufﬁ x.

A simple example of this structure is the default print data string:

@W1@E

. The “@W” command code means

to print weight. The “1” means print the current display mode. The “

” will cause the End-of-line string to be

printed.

By combining the “@” commands with standard ASCII characters, control characters, etc., any data available

from the scale, plus any additional text, can be printed in any order desired. Using formatting controls typical to

modern bar-code printers is simply a matter of formatting the printer strings.

The MSI 9750A character set includes all upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and most of the rest of

the standard ASCII set.

The following diagram shows a typical print string format. The end result of this example produces a printout

similar to this:

4.500 lb NET 8/15/2002

In this example we’ll use control characters to both print in red and expand the characters for “PEARS”. Note:

control codes used in this example are unique to a speciﬁ c printer ( a Star Micronics DP8340) and are used for

example only. Non printing control characters (e.g. ESC, CR, LF, DC4, etc.) are represented by a dot pattern in

the smaller font sizes. The necessary string will be:

Str

❸ ➎

❹❸ ➎❹

2) The 14 is an SO which turns on the Expanded character instruction

3) The 20 is an DC4 which turns off the Expanded character instruction

4) The 27 is an ESC followed by a 5 which turns off the Red Character Print instruction

5) @E causes the end-of-line string to be sent. In this example, the end-of-line string is programmed as CR/

LF.

press

. If a special character is needed, use the “Enter Decimal Char”

menu to put in the decimal

equivalent value of the desired character. This is the only way to enter characters above 127d. These char-

acters, if undeﬁ ned in the 9750A character set, will be represented by a place keeper.

Use this chart for alternate character entry using

the DP, Tare, and Net/Gross keys.

It is usually more efficient to use the @E command, then to put in

individual CR/LF characters as this is what the @E string is usually

set to.

6) @W3 causes the current Net weight to be printed. If the scale was in the NET mode, @W1 would have

worked as well.

7) @D6 causes the current date to be printed in MM/DD/YYYY format

8) @E causes the end-of-line string to be sent (CR/LF).

The End of Line String is used to terminate print strings and is printer dependent. The default string is Carriage

Return (CR=ASCII 13d), Line Feed (LF=ASCII 10). The Start of Line String is often used for STX commands or

other conﬁ guration control characters. The default SOL string is empty. Refer to the ASCII table in the Appendix

for proper codes. Up to 64 characters can be included. You can also embed @ codes to expand the two strings.

However, be careful not to include @E in the End of Line string, or @F in the Start of Line string.

Editing the print string is controlled by the

key (alternate function of

). The

key alternates the cursor

between the Insert mode (narrow cursor between characters) and the Replace mode (character highlights).

To insert a character (narrow cursor)

Use the LEFT(

), RIGHT (

), UP (

), and DOWN (

) Scroll keys to move the cursor around in the print

string. Insert new characters behind the cursor. Press

to store the edited string.

To change a character (highlighted character)

Use the LEFT(

), RIGHT (

), UP (

), and DOWN (

) Scroll keys to move around in the print string.

Change the cursor into a highlighted character by pressing the

key. The ﬂ ashing digit indicates the edit

able character which is also shown in the lower left hand corner of the edit screen. Once the desired character

is ﬂ ashing, use the keypad and the ALPHA key to input any character. If you need to change it to a character

not in the 9750A keypad, press

to bring up the alternate character entry screen. Press

to store

the edited string.

To delete a character

Use the LEFT(

), RIGHT (

), UP (

), and DOWN (

) Scroll keys to move around in the print string.

Change the cursor into a highlighted character by pressing the INS key. The ﬂ ashing digit indicates the edit

able character which is also shown in the lower left hand corner of the edit screen. Press

. The remain-

ing characters move over 1 space. Press

to store the edited string.

Pressing the ESC key will exit out of the menu and restore the string as it was. The changes must be saved with the ENTER

key.

To Erase the Entire Print String

When ﬁ rst entering into the edit text screen, the entire string is highlighted. Press the

key rapidly 3

times and the entire string will be erased.

Press the ESC key to restore the string as it was.

Press

to store the empty string.

GENERAL TEXT / CONTROL CHARACTER ENTRY

Text or control characters are simply entered into the printer data string. All ASCII characters from 1dec to

(enter “@@” to print a single “@”). If 8 bit data transmission is enabled additional codes 128 to 255 can also

be assigned. These upper numbers are often used for graphics characters on printers. “@” Commands are case

sensitive, only capital letters are used.

With the exception of characters following the command “@” symbol, all characters are treated as printable text

or control characters. The MSI 9750A represents characters that can’t be displayed on the LCD with a checkered

pattern. The “ASCII Characters” Menu is provided to input Punctuation, Symbols, Control Characters, or the

decimal byte value for any other character not included in the standard 9750A character set. Use the ASCII table

(Appendix B) to determine the decimal number equal to any desired character. Some serial devices will deﬁ ne

special functions or characters for values above 127, the standard end of the ASCII character set.

SECTION 10 – DATA LOGGING

INTRODUCTION

The 9750A has two battery backed memory locations for storing scale data. Predeﬁ ned function keys are available

for storing user conﬁ gured data directly to either memory location. Data Logging uses the “Data Out String” and

“Aux String” to store user deﬁ ned data at the press of a button. Usually the “Data Out String” is programmed

with the weight conﬁ gured as desired. The “Aux String” will often be used to store operator data, production run

information, or other data to start or end a data run.

The Data Logger memory is uploaded directly to a computer, serial printer, or other serial device through the use

of the Data Logging control menu. This menu allows you to upload either memory location and erase (clear) the

memory.

1) Determine the data content required for the main data storage. Using the “Data Out String”, set up the MSI

to delimit the data as required to allow the receiving program to properly parse the incoming data. Typical

data types used are @W to generate weight data with text or @V to produce the weight numeric value only.

If more than 1 channel of data is required use the @# command preceding the weight value type. See Section

9 for details on string design.

2) To facilitate the data dump, use the Comm Port Serial settings to match the comm port settings of the receiv-

ing PC for baud rate (up to 230.4kbaud), data bits (7 or 8), parity (none, odd, even), Handshaking (various

hardware or software types), and Mode (usually set to Duplex).

3) Program the “Aux String” if needed. Typical data types used here are @T and @D for time and date, @L to

recall user entered ID Strings, or ﬁ xed text to indicate the start or stop of a run.

4) Assign the function keys required for the operation (see Section 4). A good choice for the Data Logging

function key is

since it is unlikely the Send/Print function is being used in a data logger application.

5) If user entered data is required, program a function key for the “Enter ID String 1” (or 2). Then embed the

6) For single button access to the Data Logging control menu, program a function key for “Data Logging Con-

trol”. However there is a shortcut to this menu that can be used that does not require using a function key:

Press

followed by

for direct access to the Data Logging menu.

7) Have the appropriate cable ready for data transfers. A 9 pin female to 9 pin female null modem cable should

be used for direct connection to most PC’s (MSI P/N 12703, but also available from most computer retail-

ers).

intact, with the start of data pointer reset to the beginning of the memory ﬁ le.

4) Erase Memory 1 – Press

to erase all data in Memory 1. A caution screen appears requiring conﬁ rmation

before erasing the data. Once erased, the data is gone, so make sure that it has been transferred using the

Output commands before erasing the data. The line indicates the per cent used capacity of memory 1. It will

read “CLR” when empty.

Automatic data logging using the Trigger Print modes (See Section 9). By using, for example, “Print On

Load”, every time a steady weight is reached, the weight will be automatically recorded. Using the Continuous

print mode combined with a user set interval, weight data can be recorded on any time interval. AutoPrint to

Memory uses the main print string only. The Aux String is still available for manual data storage.

3) Auto Log Msg – When using the auto data logging features, the default Auto Log Message is on to alert

the user that data has been stored. Use this mode for “Auto Print to Memory” modes with data storage that

doesn’t occur very often. If using continuous printing to memory modes or other modes that happen rapidly,

turn the “Auto Log Msg” off so that the message won’t interfere with other screen functions.

4) Auto Clr IDStr1 – When ON, the ID String 1 is cleared after every stored weighment. This prevents unwanted

duplication of data. When OFF the string is left intact until manually changed.

5) Auto Clr IDStr2 – When ON, the ID String 2 is cleared after every stored weighment. This prevents unwanted

duplication of data. When OFF the string is left intact until manually changed.

SECTION 11 – TEXT MESSAGING

The MSI-9750A provides a means for sending messages from host computers directly to the 9750A display. The

remote computer uses a host command to send data to any 9750A on the same network (0-31). Once the 9750A

receives a text message, it is displayed until a key is pressed. By including the standard ASCII bell character

(control G), the message can also send an alert tone that persists until the message is acknowledged.

The 9750A display is limited to 160 characters maximum. Characters beyond 160 characters will not be displayed.

The size of the message characters is automatic and based on the length of the message. Messages shorter than

56 characters will be displayed in the medium font in 2 to 4 rows (4 rows by 14 characters). Messages longer

than 56 characters will be displayed in the small font (8 rows by 20 characters). Words that cross line boundries

will be split.

In order for a host to send a message to an individual 9750A, the host must know the address of the 9750A. The

string required for the host to transmit through a CellScale modem is:

Where xxx is replaced by the address of the 9750A. It is not necessary to use three digits if the address is

smaller.

(^ is used to designate a space)

Target 9750A address is 52, message is intended to be in large font on the 9750A screen.

The spaces are included to center the wore “POUR” and to space the weight to the next line (8 total characters

per line). This will result in a 9750A screen that appears like this:

The message will ﬂ ash to attract attention. This message will remain until any key is pressed on the 9750A.

Target 9750A address is 150, message is intended to be in medium font on the 9750A screen.

The spaces are included to pad the ﬁ rst two lines (14 total characters per line) to prevent words breaking on the

screen. This will result in a 9750A screen that appears like this:

The message will ﬂ ash to attract attention. This message will remain until any key is pressed on the 9750A.

9750A TO HOST MESSAGES

Once a sent message is observed by the 9750A user, pushing any key will clear the message and return the 9750A

to the last display mode. An acknowledgment string is automatically sent back to the modem that generated the

message. The acknowledgment string is programmed in the Comm Port Setup menu. The string defaults to the

ASCII “ACK” character but can be modiﬁ ed in the “Enter/Edit Strings” choice of the Comm Port Setup menu.

The acknowledgment string includes the address of the 9750A in this form:

57:

where “t t t t t” is the acknowledgment string.

9750A User Entered Message Reply

A function key can be designated to reply to Host messages in addition to the automatic acknowledgement. This

allows the 9750A user to text message a reply or new message to any host computer. The 9750A can text message

the host at any time, and can send to the last host that it received a message from. More than 1 Function key can

be designated for messages and the user can choose to send to a speciﬁ c CellScale RF or direct port or set it to

reply to the last modem that sent a message.

To set up the 9750A to output a message:

1) Press Setup followed by “Function Keys”

2) Select an unassigned or unneeded function key to program from the menu

(

3) The “SELECT FOR Fx FROM” menu appears.

4) Select “Text Messaging”

SECTION 12 – BAR CODE

The Bar Code features of the 9750A allow the user to add scanned data to weight readings and trigger transmis-

sions directly into RF connected computers. In combination with the Data Logging features, bar code scans can

trigger data storage for uploading later.

Bar Code data is directed into text ﬁ elds under user control. Four strings, K1 (Bar Code 1), K2 (Bar Code 2), K3

(Bar Code 3), and K4 (Bar Code 4) are sized to accept up to 64 bytes. In addition the bar code can be directed

into ID Code strings 1 and 2 (20 bytes each) through the use of the function keys. Any string that can be entered

via the keyboard can also be input via the bar code scanner. This degree of versatility allows such activities as

operator ID, customer ID, product ID, etc., to be input via bar codes.

The MSI-9750A will interface directly to Bar Code scanners that use standard RS-232 output data. Power is

supplied on pin 9 of the serial connector. The 9750A supplies a variable voltage output of 6 to 9 volts that is the

switched output of the battery. Therefore a suitable bar code scanner must accept voltage over the stated range.

The voltage output can be supplied as a regulated voltage (3.3 to 5V) by special order. Contact MSI for informa-

tion on suitable scanners for your application.

The Bar Code Setup Menu is used to designate how Bar Code data is handled and sets minimum data size for

each type of Bar Code string. Typically a function key is pressed to designate where the data is to go, then the Bar

Code is scanned. By turning “AutoStart” on, any data coming in will go automatically into the Bar Code 1 buffer

unless a bar code designated function key is pressed ﬁ rst. The typical operation will use Bar Code 1 for data that

is scanned often, and designate function keys for additional data input. With AutoStart on hands free operation can

be achieved just using the Bar Code scanner to initiate weight events with included Bar Code data. The Comm

Port Setup Menu is used in conjunction with the Bar Code Menu to trigger remote printing/data storage events.

CALIBRATE GENERAL INFORMATION

The following sections are intended for qualiﬁ ed scale technicians. The CellScale can be calibrated either directly

using the Terminal Interface mode, or by using a 9750A or 3750CS. See the CellScale operators guide for informa-

tion on direct calibration. This section details the calibration of a CellScale

using the 9750A RF Remote Indicator.

Calibrating a CellScale with a 9750A requires that adequate test weights (at least 10% of capacity) are available.

The CellScale is capable of multi-point calibration with any combination of weights from zero to capacity.

Since a single CellScale is capable of hosting up

to 32 independent scales, the scale channel to be calibrated must be selected first using the CHANNEL Key. To Calibrate multiple Scale Inputs, you must complete

the first calibration. Then exit out of the Calibration Menus. Select the next scale with the CHANNEL Key. Then enable Calibration again.

Calibration of a CellScale from the 9750A may be protected in either of two ways: 1) Legal-for-Trade systems are

protected with a sealed push button switch on the CellScale. This switch must be pressed to enable the calibra-

tion menus. 2) The 9750A also offers password locks to prevent calibration. See the Password locks section for

information on how to set passwords.

Industrial use scales are not required to have the calibration protected. However MSI recommends using the

Password locks to prevent accidental calibrations.

To Enable Calibration (Legal-for-Trade CellScales Only)

1) Expose the Calibration Seal Port by removing the seal screw on the CellScale with a Phillips Head Screw-

driver. Seal Screw location can be found in the CellScale manual or the 9300 Crane Scale Manual.

2) Insert a small non-metallic screwdriver or the wooden stem of a “Q-Tip” and press and release the switch

button in the hole. The CellScale will acknowledge the press button by ﬂ ashing its LEDs.

3) Now you can proceed with calibration and calibration settings.

TO CALIBRATE

Use this Calibration procedure for calibration of the CellScale using the 9750A. The CellScale supports 10 point

calibration - zero and up to 9 points of span calibration. Zero and at least 1 span point are required for a successful

calibration. The highest value test weight should be at least 10% of capacity, but 50% or more is preferable.

Calibration Procedure

1) Multichannel systems only - Using the

key, step to the Scale channel you wish to calibrate.

Only A/D channels can be calibrated (1-x, 2-x, 3-x, and 4-x). Do not attempt to calibrate a math channel

(6-x).

2) Press

followed by

, or

, “MORE”

, and select “Channel / Calibration”

3) Select “Start Calibration”

4) If this is a re calibration, press

and jump to step 9. If this is a new installation, or you wish to

change the capacity and/or scale division size, press

5) The screen displays “RESETTING CALIBRATION” a few seconds while the calibration memory is

purged.

6) Select a calibration unit by pressing

. This should be in the units the scale is most commonly used in.

However, sometimes it is desirable to use the units your test weights are cal’d in for convenience in number

entry. You can always change the units for display later.

7) Enter the capacity of the scale (in the cal unit selected) using the numeric keypad. Press

8) The CellScale calculates the appropriate scale divisions based on allowed resolution and then sends them

to the 9750A as a list. The “SCALE DIVISIONS (d)” menu will vary depending on capacity and units.

From 5 to 12 possible divisions will be shown. Pick the rated scale division for your scale.

Avoid excess total divisions (capacity/d = total divisions) for the type of scale you are using. Crane scales should be less than 5000 total divisions and

time, and a more stable display in vibration and motion situations.

9) “ZERO CALIBRATION” – Unload the scale. When the scale is stable press

. There will be a short

delay while the A/D in the CellScale performs all its initializations.

Any calibration weight is possible. MSI recommends a cal weight of at least 10% of capacity for

industrial systems. For Legal-for-trade systems MSI recommends using at least 50% of capacity,

and consider multipoint calibration.

TO ENABLE / DISABLE AZM (AUTO ZERO MAINTENANCE)

AZM is used to adjust out variations at zero caused by debris or water on the scale, temperature drift, and any

other minor variation that affects the zero setting. Typically AZM is set to 0.5d or 1d, which is adequate for most

modern scale systems. The CellScale allows for a much greater AZM range (non legal-for-trade scales only) for

unique applications. Use this feature cautiously as it can zero out large weight amounts unexpectedly.

An example of where a large value AZM can be advantageous is when packing produce. Typically there is some variation in the weight of the packing boxes. By

setting the AZM to equal the largest variation in box weight, the error in weight caused by the box variations can be eliminated automatically. The key to making

this work is that the first amount of produce placed in the box has to weigh more than the AZM range so that the produce isn’t also zeroed out.

The CellScale can also adjust the time interval of AZM, but only through the Terminal Interface (refer to the

CellScale manual). AZM time interval defaults to 1/second.

To ENABLE / DISABLE AZM and set the AZM Capture Band

1) Press

, then

2) Select “Calibration Settings”

3) Toggle AZM on or off with the

key.

4) The AZM capture band is listed on the selection 6 line. If a different capture band is desired, press

5) On the “AUTOZERO BAND” screen, set the size in scale division of the AZM capture band. The number

represents the positive and negative capture range. Entering 0 equals a capture range of ±0.5 d. Entering 5

represents a capture range of ±5 d. Press the

key to store the AZM Band value.

6) Press

to return to the Scale Display. Press

to return to the “CHANNEL / CALIBRATION”

menu.

The motion band determines the range of weight variation that the indicator considers to be stable weight. Since

the CellScale will not zero or tare a value in motion, the motion band directly inﬂ uences the accuracy of the scale

system. The motion band in Legal-For-Trade systems is usually limited to ≤ 0.6d but sometimes up to ±3d in

certain types of installations. In systems used for industrial applications, the motion band can be adjusted larger.

Adjusting the motion band larger can help in medium accuracy applications where there is a lot of vibration or

noise and it is difﬁ cult to hold the weight steady enough to tare, zero, or total. For example, setting the motion

band to 5 d would allow a tare (or zero or total) to be as much as 5d off of its ideal value but it will make the

indicator easier to use as you don’t have to wait until the weight is completely stable.

equal to a range of ±0.6d.

To Adjust the Motion Band

1) Press

, then

2) Select “Calibration Settings”

3) From the “CALIBRATE SETTINGS” menu, select “Motion Band”

4) On the “SET MOTION BAND” screen, set the size in scale division of the AZM capture band. The number

represents the ± band of motion detection. Entering 0 equals a motion band of ±0.6 d. Entering 3 represents

a motion band of ±3 d. Press the

key to store the Motion Band value.

5) Press

to return to the Scale Display, or press

to return to the “CHANNEL / CALIBRA-

TION” menu.

Do not disable AZM. The ability to disable AZM is only intended for regulatory agen-

cies that conduct tests without AZM enabled. Disabling AZM will degrade temperature

and drift performance of the CellScale. Also use caution in setting the AZM window too

large. This can cause the scale to zero unexpectedly. MSI recommends keeping AZM

below 5d for most applications.

9750A SETUP DUPLICATING

When multiple 9750A’s are used for similar purposes, you can program all screens, function keys, strings, etc., on

just one unit. Then using the following procedure, copy the conﬁ guration to the other 9750A’s. Since conﬁ guring

9750A’s can be quite complex, this feature can save a tremendous amount of time.

First you must obtain a 9-pin ‘D’ null modem cable. A null modem cable will swap transmit and receive lines.

However, it is important that pin 9, which is connected to the battery, is not cross-connected. Remove any con-

nection on pin 9. Source Code version must be the same in both units. If not, update the source code ﬁ rst.

1) Disable any Auto Printing functions on both 9750A’s.

2) Conﬁ rm both Comm Ports are set to the same baud rate. Defaults are 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,

and no parity. The ﬁ le is small enough that 9600 baud is plenty fast. Turn both units OFF.

3) Plug the Null Modem cable into both units. MAKE SURE PIN 9 IS

NOT

CONNECTED.

4) Turn on both 9750A’s. Wait for 10 seconds.

5) On the source unit (the one already conﬁ gured), press

6) On the receiving unit, press

(Display key).

7) If the receiving unit is not displaying “MSI9750A-5” press POWER followed quickly by ESC.

8) Press

on the receiving unit.

9) Press

on the source unit. Receiving unit should say “LOADING”.

10) The source unit will display percent done.

When ﬁ nished the receiving unit should reset. It may also ignore its ﬁ rst key press.

Modem settings are not transf

erred to prevent netwo

rk conflicts. Make sure all units netw

Statistics, Tare values, and two 20 byte string messages. Totalizing & Statistics Stored in connected CellScales, displayed on the 9750A. Total

weight up to 999,999,999. Weighments counter up to 65,535.

STANDARD FEATURES

Scale Monitoring Each 9750A can log on to 64 different networks allowing it to

serve up to 64 separate CellScales. Easy 1 button scale changes. Each CellScale can access 32 independent Scale Channels. Supports display of up to 8 CellScale channels simultaneously.

Calibration

Via RF, the 9750A can calibrate any CellScale system. The system is sealed at the CellScale.

Keypad

24 keys – 6 user programmable (12 functions), 11 key alphanu-

meric, and 7 scale control keys Push button Functions Fixed keys: Power: On/Off Zero: Remove residual weight on scale Net/Gross: Switch between Tared weight (Net) and Gross weight Tare: Tare out empty container weight and switch to Net mode. Alpha: Allows alpha character entry, upper and lower case Enter: Store parameters or enter menus Setup: Setup scale functions 0-9 with Alpha characters

Totals and statistics are stored with each ID register. Each ID code keeps full statistics on totaled weighments. Included are Standard Deviation, Average, Minimum, Maximum, and Coef-

ﬁ cient of Variance. Data Logging Two independent 64kByte battery backed memories for manual

or automatic storage of weight data. Automatic storage based on

time interval, set points, or loading conditions. Audible Set Points or Totalize Indicator Coupled with the internal Set Points, an alarm can sound at any

weight. Can also be used for accept or an out-of-limits indicator

for blind check-weighing. Can also be conﬁ gured as a totalize

alert. Text Messaging Able to receive and transmit user entered messages for display

on the LCD. The 9750A replies with auto and manual replies

to received messages. Audible alerts possible by including the

ASCII “BEL” character. Bar Code Interface The 9750A can directly read industry standard Bar Code scan-

ners and append the bar code data to weight, date, and time data

generated by the CellScale. Pass thru data can be sent directly to

host computers via MSI RF modems.
