2.0 Operation
The following sections describe the basic operation of the MSI-8000HD RF Indicator.
2.1 Power
Power the indicator On/Off by pressing .
2.2 Zero
The zero key sets the zero reading of the scale to remove small deviations in zero when the unit is unloaded. See Section 2.3
for zeroing (taring) a package, rigging or pallet weights.
• When using multiple scales, ensure the scale to be zeroed is displayed.
• 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 must be stable within the motion window and is lit before it will zero. The scale will remember that it
has a zero request for two seconds. If a motion clears in that time, it will zero.
• Thescalewillaccepta zerosetting overthefull rangeof the scale.Zero settingsabove 4% offullscale willsubtract from
the overall capacity of the scale.
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.
Press . The weight must be stable within the motion window for thezero function to work.
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.
The backup memory in the unit stores the tare reading, and can restore it even if power fails.
2.3.1 Tare and Display the Net Load
1. Load the weight that needs to be tared onto the scale.
2. Press . The weight display changes to 0and Net is displayed.
2.3.2 To Clear the Tare and Revert to Gross Load
Press . Net turns off indicating the unitis 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:
When taring 100 lb of riggingon a 1000 lb scale, the scale will overload at a net load of
900 lb (1000-100) plus any additional allowed overload (usually about 4% or 9 d).
To view the gross load without clearing the tare value, a F-key can be programmed Net/Gross.

3.0 Installation
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-8000HD must be returned, it must be properly packed with sufficient packing materials. When possible, retain the original
carton when shipping the unit back.
3.2 Getting Started
The MSI-8000HD is mostoften shipped pre-configuredwith another MSI RF device. Ifthe MSI-8000HD is purchased
separately, or is to be used with a different system, then 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 ascale/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 then try the link at various positions and distances. The range may vary by the rotation of the
scale/Dyna-Link. The range may vary by the rotation of the scale/Dyna-Link, as well as the site and installation variables.
Battery Charging
For indicators 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
3.3 Opening the Enclosure
The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect the scale load cell cable and other interface connections.
Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
1. Disconnect the power to the indicator.
2. Place the indicator face down on an anti-static work mat.
3. Remove the screws that secure the backplate to the enclosure.
4. Lift the backplate away to access the boards and set it aside.

• Latch relays retain position even if the power fails,
• Coil relays reset when power fails.
In the event of a power failure, the Latch relay uses continuous battery power and will deplete the battery more
quickly than the coil relay.
4.6 Total Mode
For the accumulation of multiple weighments, the Totalfunction 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 weighton 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 (ttlOn) 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 10.
2. With the weight to be added on the scale, press F-Total. The acknowledge LED blinks to indicatethe 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 10.
Setpoint Description
A.Load Auto Load – ensures any settled load above the Rise Above threshold will be automatically totaled. The scale must fall below the Drop
Below threshold before the next total is allowed.
A.Last Auto Last – takes the last settled weight to auto total with. The total occurs only once the scale goes below the threshold. This allows the
load to be adjusted without a total occurring. Once the load is removed, the scale uses the last settled reading for total.
A.HiGH Auto High – uses the highest settled reading. This is useful for loads that can’t be removed all at once.

4.7 Filter
The Filter settings are used to stabilize the weight in an unstable condition. Increasing the filter will improve the stability,
however settling times will be longer. The MSI-8000HD employs algorithms that speed up large weight changes while still
controlling vibration even with high filter settings.
Use the following steps to set up filtering.
1. Press and simultaneously.
