Installation
This section provides an overview of the MSI-4300 installation instructions.
2.1 Unpacking
Visually inspect the MSI-4300 for damage, immediately after unpacking. If parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake
Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately. The shipping carton contains the MSI-4300 as well as the following
components.
2.2 Batteries
Eight standard D cell batteries are required unless the scale uses another supported power option. Alkaline type is
recommended but standard carbon-zinc or Ni-Cad D cell batteries can also be used. Standard carbon-zinc or Ni-Cad D cell
batteries reduce the available battery life significantly.
2.2.1 Installing and Changing
The batteries must have enough charge to ensure accurate operation. If the batteries are too low, the scale automatically
powers off (eight batteries in series must total more than 5.4 V).
To change:
1. Turn the scale off.
2. Remove the battery tubes by turning the knobs counterclockwise. It is not necessary to remove both tubes at once.
3. Replace all the batteries in each tube. Never mix old batteries with new batteries.
4. Reinstall the battery tubes by inserting the tubes back into the unit and turning the knobs clockwise.
The batteries can be checked with the Test Mode. Power displayed is in relative percent (%) of battery life. If the
number with fresh batteries is extremely low (less than 10%), turn off the power, remove the tubes and check if the
polarity of all the batteries are correct.
