2.0 Operation
This section covers the basic operation of the MSI-8000HD.
2.1 Power
Power the indicator On/Off by pressing .
2.2 Zero
Sets the zero reading of the scale/Dyna-Link to remove small deviations in zero when the unit is unloaded. See Section 2.3 for
zeroing (taring) a package, rigging or pallet weights.
Press . The weight must be stable within the motion window for the zero function to work.
Consider the following when zeroing the scale:
* When using multiple scales, ensure the scale to be zeroed is displayed.
* The backup memory in the unit stores the tare reading, and can restore it even if power fails.
* Zero works in Gross or Net mode.
* Zeroing while in Net mode will zero the gross load causing the display to show a negative tare value.
* The scale/Dyna-Link must be stable within the motion window and is lit before it will zero. The scale/Dyna-
Link remembers the zero request for two seconds. If a motion clears in that time, it will zero.
* The scale/Dyna-Link will accept a zero setting over the full range of the scale/Dyna-Link. Zero settings above 4%
of full scale/Dyna-Link will subtract from the overall capacity of the scale/Dyna-Link.
Example:
If 100 lb is zeroed on a 1000 lb scale/Dyna-Link, the overall capacity of the scale/Dyna-Link will reduce to 900 lb plus the
allowed over-range amount.
2.3 Tare
Tare is used to zero out a known weight such as rigging, a container or pallet and display the load in Net weight.
2.3.1 Tare and Display the Net Load
1. Load the item that needs to be tared onto the scale/Dyna-Link.
2. Press . The weight display changes to 0and Net is displayed.
2.3.2 Clear Tare and Revert to Gross Load
Press . Net turns off indicating the unit is in gross mode.
• Only positive gross load readings can be tared
• Setting or changing the tare has no effect on the gross zero setting
• Taring will reduce the apparent over range of the scale
Example:
Whentaring 100lbofriggingon a1000lbscale,thescalewill overload ata netload of900lb(1000-100)plusany
additional allowed overload (usually about 4% or 9 d).
To view the gross load without clearing the tare value, an F-key can be programmed to Net/Gross. See Section 4.2.3.

3.0 Installation
This section describes the installation of the MSI-8000HD.
3.1 Unpacking
When unpacking the MSI-8000HD, ensure that all parts are accounted for and check for any visible damage. If any parts were
damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately. If the MSI-8000HDmust be returned, it
must be properly packed with sufficient packing materials. If possible, retain the original carton when shipping the unit back.
3.2 Getting Started
The MSI-8000HDis often shipped pre-configured with a compatible sensor unit such as an Dyna-Link 2 or one of the MSI crane
scales. If the MSI-8000HD is purchased separately, or is to be used with a different system, the RF transceivers will have to be
paired. Follow the RF Setup Procedure in Section 6.3 on page 25.
Once the RF setup is complete for the MSI-8000HD, the system will automatically connect with a scale/Dyna-Link. It is
recommended to do a site survey to identify operating range and usability of the RF Link. Position the scale/Dyna-Link at an
average operational height, and try the link at various positions and distances. The range may vary by the rotation of the scale/
Dyna-Link, as well as the site and installation variables.
Battery Charging (Optional)
For units with an optional battery, fully charge the battery by plugging the charger into the charge port. Depending on the
discharge level of the battery this can take up to six hours.
Figure 3-1. Battery Charger

R-76 ()
Sets the scale to enable only approved features per OIML R-76. Only kg weight units are available and the zero range is limited
to 4% (-1 to +3% relative to calibrate zero). Net/Gross function is temporary, once net weight is established, pushing an F key
set for Net/Gross will cause a maximum 5 second display of the gross weight.Clear the Tare to display gross weight constantly.
Other metrological aspects are changed to meet R-76 requirements.
1Unit ()
The 1unit standard is exactly the same as Industrial, except units switching is inhibited. Used for metric only countries or where
1unit standard is to allow the scale to be calibrated in units other than lb or kg, since conversions are eliminated. Contact Rice
Lake for more information on the standards settings.

4.8.2 Total Mode
For the accumulation of multiple weighments, the Total function uses the displayed load, so gross and net readings can be
added into the same total.
There are four modes of totalizing, a manual and three auto modes.
All modes require that the weight on the scale return below 0.5% (relative to full scale) of Gross Zero or Net Zero before the
next weighment can be added. Applied weight must be ≥1% of full scale above Gross Zero or Net Zero before it can be
totaled.
Manual Total
Manual Total () adds a current weight to a previously accumulated value manually. To add weight to the total it must be
greater than 1% of capacity and not yet totaled. This assures that a weight on the scale is only added to the total once.
1. Program a F-key to Total. See Section 4.2 on page 9.
2. With the weight to be added on the scale, press F-Total. The acknowledge LED blinks to indicate the weight was
accepted and the TOTAL annunciator lights. Then the total weight is displayed for five seconds and the number of
samples is displayed for two seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 until all weight samples have been added.
Total Mode will not function while the scale is in motion, ensure is on. If the system fails to achieve stable
readings, increase the filter setting or increase the size of the scale division (d) in the Init Cal procedure.
The F-Total functions as View Total only until the 1% threshold is exceeded to allow the addition to the total value.
Auto Total
This mode has three variations which are programmed in the Setup menu.
Program an F-key to AUTO TOTAL, it functions as Auto Total On / Auto Total Off. See Section 4.2 on page 9.
Set Total Mode
1. Press and simultaneously.  will display.
2. Press to scroll to .
3. Press . The currently saved total mode is displayed.
4. Press to scroll through the choices.
5. With choice displayed, press to select.  will be displayed.
6. Press to exit setup and store the settings.
Reset Total Load
To reset the total load to zero, press Fx-Total again and while the total load is being displayed, quickly press .
Setpoint Description
 Auto Load – ensures settled load above the Rise Above threshold is automatically totaled; scale must fall below the Drop Below threshold
before the next total is allowed
 Auto Last – takes the last settled weight to auto total with; total occurs only once the scale goes below the threshold; allows the load to be
adjusted without a total occurring; once the load is removed, the scale uses the last settled reading for total
 Auto High – uses the highest settled reading; useful for loads that can’t be removed all at once
