Operation
The handling of the mobile rope load meter MSM12 is described below. For opera-
tion of the MSM12 using the optional software refer to the software operating instruc-
tions.
7.1
Installation of the rope load sensors LSM
In each LSM rope a rope load sensor must be installed as described in chapter 6.
Take care that you assign the connections of the rope sensors at the MSM12 in con-
tinuous and ascending order, starting with connection 1. For the use of the rope load
wizard it is important that you do not skip any connections.
7.2
Switching-on
In order to switch on the MSM12 mobile rope load meter please press the on/off
switch for minimum 3 seconds. The display now shows the Henning logo. After a
short time the display switches to the main display. The MSM12 is now ready for op-
eration.
To switch off please press the on/off switch for minimum 3 seconds again. The de-
vice switches off, the display lighting is extinguished. If the inserted batteries are run-
down, the MSM12 switches off automatically. The approaching switch-off is indicated
30 seconds in advance by a flashing weight display.
In order to avoid a damage of the MSM12 spent batteries should be replaced as
soon as possible by new ones. In order to guarantee the data storage of the real-time
clock of the MSM12 it should not be left more than 20 minutes without voltage sup-
ply. In the switched-off condition the run-down batteries supply the clock with voltage
for one week. The loads and adjustment records are stored in non-volatile memory in
the MSM12 and are maintained up to ten years without having to insert batteries.
