7.2 Service Counters
Only a Rice Lake Weighing Systems technician can reset the service counters, as these are an important safety
warning feature. A thorough load train inspection is necessary to ensure product safety.
The MSI-4260M maintains two service counters for safety.
• The first counter counts the number of times the scale has been overloaded
• The second counter counts lifts above 25% of capacity
These counters serve to warn the user to inspect the load train after a number of overloads, also when there is a chance of
fatigue failure. The power up routine is interrupted when the lift counter exceeds 16383 lifts or the overload counter exceeds
1023 overloads. If the screen displays
when unit is powered on:
1. Press

2. Press
again to see the overload lift counter.
3. Press
to acknowledge the warning and return to standard scale operation.
The power up warning message will not appear for another 16383 lifts (or 1023 overloads).
