Introduction

The

MSI-8000

RF Remote Display

is a wireless remote display for viewing weight from

several compatible MSI Crane Scales and Dyna-Links. It is fully sealed for outdoor use in

most ambient conditions. Using a Remote Display enhances the safety and usability of the

MSI’s Dyna-Link and Crane Scale systems. The RF Remote Indicator allows tension

monitoring from a distance and adds the ability to print and store data. The

MSI-8000

uses

a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery providing up to 36 hours (typical) of continuous

use between charges.
