3.2 Power
Press
to turn the MSI-4260M on. The following displays in order:
• All LCD segments and LED annunciators turn on at full brightness as a display test
• Display brightness changes to the setting determined in the Display Menu
• The software version number displays
• The MSI-4260M is ready for use
3.3 Zero
sets the zero reading of the scale. Press
to take out small deviations from zero when the scale is
unloaded. See
for zeroing (taring) a package or pallet weights.
The scale digits display 0 (or 0.0 or 0.00, etc).
The backup memory in the MSI-4260M stores the zero reading and retains it even if the power fails.
Rules for Use
• Works in
GROSS
or
NET
mode
• Zeroing while in net mode zeros the gross weight causing the display to show a negative tare value
• The scale must be stable within the motion window; The scale will not zero if the stabilizer annunciator is off;
The scale remembers that it has a zero request for 2 seconds; If a motion ceases within the motion window in that time,
the scale zeros
• The scale accepts a zero setting over the full Range of the scale (NTEP and other Legal for Trade models may have a
limited zero range); Zero settings above 4% of full scale subtracts from the overall capacity of the scale
Example: If 100 lb on a 1000 lb scale is zeroed, the overall capacity of the scale reduces to 900 lb, plus the
allowed over-range amount.
3.4 Tare
Tare is used to zero out a known weight such as a packing container or pallet and display the load in net weight.
• A tare value is entered by pressing
; The tare function is defined as a Tare-In, Tare-Out operation
• The first press of
stores the current weight as a tare value then the scale subtracts the tare value from the
gross weight and changes the display to net mode; The next press of
clears the tare value and revert the
display to gross mode
• To view the gross weight without clearing the tare value, program the
to the Net/Gross function;
The RF Rugged Remote Control or RF remote display can have a Net/Gross permanently available
• To tare and display the net weight, press
The weight reading must be stable within the motion window for the tare function to work.
The scale digits display 0 (or 0.0 or 0.00, etc) and the weight mode changes to NET.
The backup memory in the MSI-4260M stores the tare reading and can restore it even if power fails.
To clear the tare and revert to gross weight, press
.
displays.
• Only positive gross weight readings can be tared
• The
must be on indicating weight reading is stable
• Setting or changing the tare has no effect on the gross zero setting
• Taring reduces the apparent over range of the scale
Example: Taring a 100 lb container on a 1000 lb scale, the scale overloads at a net weight of 900 lb (1000-100)
plus any additional allowed overload (about 4% or 9 d).
• The scale stores the tare value in non-volatile memory and is restored when power is cycled
