INTRODUCTION

 

The MSI-6260CS Series crane scales are best calibrated using a remote indicator such as the MSI-
3750CS, MSI-9850, or the MSI-9750A Handheld. Calibration procedures using these devices are covered 
in their respective User Guides. If above listed remote devices are not in use with the MSI-6260CS, the 
only way to calibrate it is through the Comm. Port using the Terminal Access Mode. MSI recommends 
having test weights of at least 50% capacity to properly calibrate the Crane Scale. The calibration 
procedures will operate with as little as 12.5% of capacity, though rated accuracy cannot be guaranteed. 
For details of Multi-Point, Certified, or other specialized calibrations, refer to full version of MSI-6260CS 
User’s Guide. 

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

 

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 
 
ACCESSING EMBEDDED CELL SCALE 
 

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

 

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

 

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

 

3)  Disable flow control in the terminal program. 

 

4). Turn scale 

ON

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

 

6).  From PC, press 

ENTER

. Main Cell Scale Manu will appear.
