1.1 Overview

The MSI TranSend 7000 Series offers a wireless option in systems where it would be difficult to have a load cell cable. Replacing the cable with an RF link, the output will be calibrated to match the device that the cable was connected to. A single MSI TranSend 7000 Series transmitter or receiver can be used to communicate with a ScaleCore-based remote display or indicator. A paired transmitter and receiver can be used to wirelessly send weigh data to virtually any indicator or remote display.

2.9 Antenna Options

NOTE: To meet FCC licensing rules, use only antennas supplied or recommended by Rice Lake Weighing Systems.

Antenna placement is critical to problem-free use of the system.

• Ensure a relatively clear transmission path exists between the devices to be connected; Radio signals travel primarily by line of sight (LOS), obstructions between stations may degrade the system performance

• When using the long range antenna, mount the antenna on an elevated structure to ensure that you have a clear LOS transmission path; This will ensure the antenna will clear surrounding obstructions; Do not provide a ground plane for the antenna

• Fixed station locations often benefit from directional antennas when the location of the other components of the RF network are fixed and/or in the same direction; Never use a directional antenna on a mobile system

• If using the standard antenna, ensure the antenna is not blocked by any metal; Transmission is good through most kinds of glass so mounting a meter next to a window will work fine; If there is no clear line of sight place to mount the receiving device, consider switching to the long range antenna so the antenna can be set up remotely

• The standard and long range antennas are vertical plane devices; They should be vertical, pointing up or down, when high off the ground (like the underside of a large bridge crane); Do not mount them sideways; The long range 9 dBi antenna is particularly sensitive to off axis mounting; Use a level to ensure the antenna is exactly 90° perpendicular to the earth

• Do not mount an omni-directional antenna next to metallic or concrete surfaces; This can result in reflections and undesired RF characteristics; Use a corner reflector instead

• After installation, seal the antenna connection with an adhesive heat shrink boot; Failure to seal the antenna may result in liquid destroying the antenna and device it’s connected to

NOTE: Rice Lake Weighing Systems does not recommend extending the coaxial cable beyond three meters. At 2.4 GHz more loss will result from coax losses than are gained by raising the antenna. If the antenna must be extended,



use a very low loss 50 ohm

For very short extensions (<1m), cables made with RG-316 are suitable.

coax such as RG-214, RF-195, or other low loss varieties.

20 Visit our website www.RiceLake.com

2.9.1 Available Antennas

Adhesive Heat Shrink

Standard Antenna

The standard antenna is an articulated 1/2 wave 2 dBi gain design with a standard TNC connector that mounts directly on the enclosure.

This antenna and coax connector, though resistant to water, is not water-proof. Seal the TNC base with an adhesive heat shrink boot if this antenna might be exposed to rain or other weather conditions where it could get wet.

This antenna must be vertically oriented and is suitable for most short to medium range applications.

Long Range OMNI 9 dBi Antenna

This omni-directional high gain antenna is remotely mounted with a low loss coaxial cable and increases the range up to four times.

The antenna must be vertically mounted. The vertical Beamwidth (-3dB point) is 14 degrees. This antenna is supplied with a 10 foot (3m) coax cable pre-attached. The 10-foot cable allows

placement of the antenna above the unit for ease of clearing possible obstacles to data transmission. It is also available with an N connector for applications requiring longer coax cable lengths.

Vehicle Mount Whip Antenna

The vehicle mount whip antenna mounts directly to the roof of mobile vehicles and is weatherproof. This 5 dBi gain whip mounts in a 3/4'' hole on the roof of the vehicle. The mount includes 17' of low loss coax terminated in a TNC connector.

Installation

YAGI Antenna

For maximum range, a 14 dBi gain Yagi Antenna is available by special order. Please contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems for details.

Corner Reflector Antenna

Corner reflector antennas are often the best choice for a wall mounted antenna. Rice Lake Weighing Systems offers a 14 dBi and a 9 dBi corner reflector.

14 dBi Corner Reflector

9 dBi Corner Reflector

Patch Antenna

The patch antenna is for applications where the standard antenna is vulnerable to physical damage or outdoor applications. The patch antenna is mildly directional which requires more care in antenna placement for long range applications. Patch antennas are available by special order only. Please contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems for details.

2.10 Mounting the Enclosure

The MSI TranSend 7000 Series transmitters and receivers can be mounted either vertically or horizontally to a flat surface. If mounted inside an enclosure or I-beam, use the correct antenna for the environment and distance. Please call Rice Lake

Weighing Systems, if assistance is needed to select an antenna, or reference the antenna selection guide in the appendix.

NOTE: Antennas must be placed within line-of-sight for reliable communications.

IMPORTANT: A standard antenna and coax connector are resistant to water, but not water-proof. Seal the TNC base with an adhesive heat shrink boot if antenna is exposed to water.

Optional Rugged Remote

5.0 Optional Rugged Remote

The MSI-7000 with an installed RF modem can be controlled with an optional Rugged Remote. The Rugged Remote is a transmit only device that can be used to perform basic scale functions. The range may vary up to 100' or more depending on room conditions and line of sight.

The RF modem in the MSI-7000 must be configured to accept communication from the Rugged Remote, contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems for pairing requirements.

NOTE: A Rugged Remote is paired to an individual device and cannot be reprogrammed in the field.

Figure 5-1. Rugged Remote

5.1 Operation

The Rugged Remote is paired to a single ScaleCore RF device and replicates the front panel buttons. Slight variations between each device's buttons will result in different operation in the Rugged Remote. See Table 5-1 for corresponding buttons for the Rugged Remote and the connected device.

NOTE: The Rugged Remote can only be paired to a single ScaleCore device. Reprogramming to configure communication to a different ScaleCore device can only be performed at the factory or with the purchase of additional RF modems.

5.2 Conflict and Jamming Considerations

It is important to understand that only one transmitter at a time can be activated within a reception area. While the transmitted signal consists of encoded digital data, only one carrier of any frequency can occupy airspace without conflict at any given time. This is not to say that there cannot be multiple remote controls for the unit, but rather that two cannot be used simultaneously.

5.3 FCC Compliance

The Rugged Remote has 802.15.4 certification (Section 2.8 on page 19).
