1.1 Overview
The MSI TranSend 7000 Series offers a wireless option in systems where it would be difficult to have a load cell cable. Replacing
the cable with an RF link, the output will be calibrated to match the device that the cable was connected to. A single MSI
TranSend 7000 Series transmitter or receiver can be used to communicate with a ScaleCore-based remote display or indicator.
A paired transmitter and receiver can be used to wirelessly send weigh data to virtually any indicator or remote display.

2.0 Installation
This section describes procedures for connecting load cell and serial communications cables, along with instructions for
mounting the enclosures.
2.1 Unpacking and Assembly
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the contents to ensure all components are included and undamaged. If any parts
were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.
2.2 Connect Load Cell Cables
2.2.1 MSI-7001 TranSend
If using the optional pre-wired cable, refer to the load cell wiring guide table for connecting the cable to the load cell.
OR
If using the field wire-able connector refer to Figure 2-1 and Table 2-1 to connect an MSI-7001 TranSend transmitter to a load
cell or j-box.
Figure 2-1. Field Wire-able Male Connector
NOTE: Test performance before cutting off the shield at the cable end. The metal braid shield is connected to the metal
shell of the cordset’s connector head. If the MSI-7001 TranSend is grounded through its mounting screws, this is usually
sufficient. In most applications it is not necessary to connect the shield to the junction box shield terminal. Sometimes
noise pickup is improved by connecting the shield inside the junction box. However, it may make noise pickup worse.

2.6 Relays
The MSI-7000 TranSend can be equipped with three Form C Coil relays for process control or safety related systems. The MSI-
7000HD comes standard with three relays.
Relays are installed and wired out to 3 pins on a M12 connector.
Figure 2-8. Relay Wiring Diagram
With normally open wiring, the contact is de-energized when the setpoint is inactive. When the setpoint is tripped, the contact
will close and the relay will energize.
With normally closed wiring, the contact is closed and energized when the setpoint is inactive. When the setpoint is tripped, the
contact will open and the relay will de-energize.
See Section 3.2.6 on page 37 for programming setpoints.
2.7 RF Network Transmission Strength
NOTE: Transmission strength should be set to the lowest setting possible to achieve the transmission required.
Both scale/Dyna-Link and MSI-8000 RF Remote Display should be set at the same transmission strength setting.

2.9 Antenna Options
NOTE: To meet FCC licensing rules, use only antennas supplied or recommended by Rice Lake Weighing Systems.
Antenna placement is critical to problem-free use of the system.
• Ensure a relatively clear transmission path exists between the devices to be connected; Radio signals travel primarily by
line of sight (LOS), obstructions between stations may degrade the system performance
• When using the long range antenna, mount the antenna on an elevated structure to ensure that you have a clear LOS
transmission path; This will ensure the antenna will clear surrounding obstructions; Do not provide a ground plane for the
antenna
• Fixed station locations often benefit from directional antennas when the location of the other components of the RF
network are fixed and/or in the same direction; Never use a directional antenna on a mobile system
• If using the standard antenna, ensure the antenna is not blocked by any metal; Transmission is good through most kinds
of glass so mounting a meter next to a window will work fine; If there is no clear line of sight place to mount the receiving
device, consider switching to the long range antenna so the antenna can be set up remotely
• The standard and long range antennas are vertical plane devices; They should be vertical, pointing up or down, when
high off the ground (like the underside of a large bridge crane); Do not mount them sideways; The long range 9 dBi
antenna is particularly sensitive to off axis mounting; Use a level to ensure the antenna is exactly 90° perpendicular to
the earth
• Do not mount an omni-directional antenna next to metallic or concrete surfaces; This can result in reflections and
undesired RF characteristics; Use a corner reflector instead
• After installation, seal the antenna connection with an adhesive heat shrink boot; Failure to seal the antenna may result
in liquid destroying the antenna and device it’s connected to
NOTE: Rice Lake Weighing Systems does not recommend extending the coaxial cable beyond three meters.
At 2.4 GHz more loss will result from coax losses than are gained by raising the antenna. If the antenna must be extended,
use a very low loss 50 ohm
 coax such as RG-214, RF-195, or other low loss varieties.
For very short extensions (<1m), cables made with RG-316 are suitable.
