Operation
The following sections describe the basic operation of the MSI-4260 IS.
3.1 Navigation of Menus
• If a function key does not work, it is probably because the
MSI-4260 IS is not set up to support the key. For example,
if the function key is set for TOTAL, the
TOTAL
mode must also be set up in the
Setup
menu.
• When in
Setup
menus,
drops back one menu level. At the root menu level, the
stores the changes
and returns to the weight mode.
• When in
Setup
menus,
returns directly to the Weight Display without storing the changes.
• When in
Setup
menus,
functions as the scroll key.
• When in
Setup
menus,
functions as the
ENTER/SELECT
key.
3.2 Power
To turn on the power, press
. The following displays in order:
• The LEDs will light all segments at full brightness as a display test
• Display brightness will change to the setting determined in the Display Menu
• The software version number displays
• The MSI-4260 IS is ready for use
3.3 Zero
The
Zero
key sets the zero reading of the scale. Press
to take out small deviations in 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-4260 IS 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 will zero the gross weight causing the display to show a negative tare value.
• The scale must be stable within the motion window. The MSI-4260 IS will only zero if the stable annunciator is on
and there has been no activity of two seconds.
• The scale will accept 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 will subtract from the overall capacity of the MSI-
4260 IS.
Example: If 100 lb on a 1000 lb scale is zeroed, the overall capacity of the scale will reduce to 900 lb, plus the
allowed over-range amount.
