Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
The TranSend family of wireless load cell interface transmitters and receivers are efficient
communication devices that replace the need for traditional wire runs. Compatible with a broad range of
transmitting and receiving devices, TranSend is designed to work with ScaleCore-based products as
shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, and TranSend transmitters can interface with virtually any strain-
gauge sensor. This manual provides the details for TranSend 7000 and TranSend 7001 installation,
configuration and calibration.
For questions or comments please contact Measurement Systems International at 1-800-874-4320.

The TRANSEND 7000 & 7001 offers an effective wireless load cell cable replacement in systems where it would
be difficult to have a load cell cable. Replacing the cable with an RF link, the output is set to match the device that
the cable was connected to.

Installation 7
2.0 Installation
This section describes procedures for connecting load cell, power, and serial communications cables to the
TranSend 7001 and Four Channel units.
2.1 Unpacking and Assembly
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the contents to ensure all components are included (refer to the
packing list) and undamaged.
If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems, MSI Division, and the shipper 
immediately.
2.2 Mounting the Enclosure
The TranSends can be mounted either vertically or horizontally to a flat surface.
If mounted inside an enclosure or I-beam, use the correct antenna for the environment and distance. Please call
Rice Lake Weighing Systems, MSI Division, if assistance is needed to select an antenna, or reference the antenna
selection guide in the appendix.

2.3 Cable Connections
2.3.1 Connect Transmitter
Using the optional pre-wired cable (see Table 2-1) or the field wire-able connector (see Figure 2-3), connect a
TranSend 7001 transmitter to the load cell or j-box; eliminating the need for a homerun cable. For TranSend 7000
devices, feed standard load cell cable through the cord grip and wire to the terminal strip according to Figure 2-4.
Note
See Section 3.0 on page 13 for calibration procedure.

Note
The metal braid shield is connected to the metal shell of the cordset. If the TranSend 7001 is grounded
through its mounting screws, this is usually sufficient. In most applications it is not necessary to connect the
shield to the j-box shield terminal. Sometimes noise pickup is improved by connecting the shield inside the j-
box. However, may make noise pickup worse. So before cutting off the shield at the cable end, test
performance.

Figure 2-6. 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 3.4 on page 22 for programming setpoints.

ScaleCore Configuration Management Program (ScCMP) 13
3.0 ScaleCore Configuration Management Program (ScCMP)
ScCMP is a software application for configuration and calibration of a ScaleCore based product from a computer.
ScCMP and its operation manual are available for download at www.msiscales.com.
1. Download ScCMP to a computer.
2. Connect the transmitter to a computer using a DTE Serial Cable (PN 150964).
3. Open ScCMP using a PC.
4. Select File, then Auto Detect Serial. Scanning please standby... displays momentarily, then the results box
appears.
Figure 3-1. Auto Detect Results
5. Select port connected to the transmitter.
6. Press Open. Reading Device... displays momentarily.
7. Press Close, the screen goes to the menu screen.
Figure 3-2. Configuration Menus
Figure 3-3. Device Configuration
Screen
1. Click the Device/Product tab at the top of the screen.
2. Press Edit Device to revise the ScaleCore Device ID setting. The
device configuration box appears.
3. Enter an ID for the unit.
4. Enter one of the following User Model Codes:
•203– used for 7001HD
•110– used for AC Powered Unit or a 7-36VDC Unit
•206– used for 6 VDC (battery powered) Unit
The User Model Code must be filled in correctly for the power LEDs on the front panel to work correctly.
Note
ScaleCore Device IDs must be unique to the device. See Section 3.1 for network settings.

14 MSI TranSend Series
3.1 Network Settings
Network and channel settings must match the indicator network settings. This controls the component to
component communications interface.
Three numbers are used to establish a Piconet:
• ScaleCore ID - This number is used to identify each device in a Piconet. It has a range of 0-254 and must not be
duplicated within the same RF Channel. Typical setting are 0-4 for transmitting devices, 5 is reserved for the receiver.
Important
Note
If more then one unit has the same ScaleCore ID, unexpected results will occur.
•RF Channel - Establishes the base network that all interconnected devices must match. This number must be
in the range of 12-23.
•Network ID - This is a 64 bit number that all interconnected devices must match. ScCMP limits this number
to a max of 6 digits for a range of 1-65535.
For all devices that must interconnect, the RF Channel and Network ID must match. The ScaleCore ID
must be unique.
1. Select the I/O tab.
Figure 3-4. I/O Menu Screen
2. Press Radio On button. A box caution box appears.
3. Press Ye s to confirm enabling of the network.
4. Enter the Channel and Network numbers, ensuring that the channel numbers and the network numbers
match for all networked transmitters and receivers.

5. Press OK to save settings and enable the network.
Note
Cycle Power on the devices for new radio settings to take effect.

3.2 Calibration (Transmitters)
Calibration can also be done using a MSI-8000 or MSI-8000HD. Section 4.0 on page 28
ScCMP provides an interface for performing the available types of sensor (Load Cell) calibration to ensure the
ScaleCore product is accurate. The available methods of calibration are:
•Initial Calibration – Enter scale capacity, resolution, and unit of measure in addition to setting zero and span
reference calibration points.
•Re-Calibration – Using current scale capacity, resolution, and unit of measure to enter new zero and span
reference calibration points.
•Cal-Number – Enter a reference calibration number without the requirement of test weights.
3.2.1 Calibration Switch

Note
If the unit is sealed, the wire will need to be cut to get the screw out. Once calibration is complete ensure the
unit is sealed again.
1. Remove the screw and washer that covers the switch. Retain for re-installation.
2. Insert a non-conductive tool into the hole to press the calibration switch. The power LED will blink green
for the 7000 and will blink red non-stop on the 7001.
3. Calibrate the unit using ScCMP (Section 3.2.2 on page 16) or one of the MSI8000/MSI-8000HD products
(Section 4.0 on page 28).
