SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION & INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
The MSI-6260CS Crane Scale is a member of the Measurement Systems International (MSI) CellScale system.
CellScale™, the system’s central weighing and communication controller, gives you an unprecedented founda-
tion for building your weighing system. For the first time, your weighing system may expand to virtually any
combination of load sensors, weight displays and other data recorders — without requiring cables. In com-
bination with other CellScale equipment and software, the 6260CS can form the basis for intelligent process
control, material inventory systems, and material handling systems.
The 6260CS is available in a wide range of standard weighing capacities from 500 lb (250kg) to 100000 lb
(50000 kg). In addition, MSI has designs for capacities as high as 500 tons as well as custom in-block systems
for any type of crane.
INSTALLATION
The 6260CS features a heavy duty, cast aluminum enclosure rated at NEMA
4 IP 65. The 6260CS installs easily by hanging it on the crane, using properly
sized shackles. Please refer to MSI’s brochure, “Crane Safety” when install-
ing model 6260CS.
One of the most common installation problems is using an oversize shackle
or too large a hook to interface with the 6260CS. This can cause off center
loading and stress points that will reduce the life of the 6260CS lifting eye
or hook. Use the appropriate interface hardware for the capacity of the scale.
If your interface hardware does not fit properly, MSI can supply the 6260CS
with oversize lifting eyes or shackle interfaces. If the crane hook is too large
to fit in the lifting eye with single point interface, then install the scale using
adaptive rigging.
If multiple attachments are needed, use a shackle or ring to attach the mul-
tiple lines to thus keeping a single point attachment to the scale. Single point
attachments are necessary to ensure the safety and accuracy of the scale
system.
Regular maintenance inspections of the lifting system should be performed to
ensure safety. Pay particular attention for signs of stress on any element in the
load train.
DO NOT
1. DO NOT PUSH OR PULL ON LOADED SCALE.
2. DO NOT PULL LATERALLY ON HOOK WITH
SCALE LOADED.
DO
USE HARDWARE THAT CREATES SINGLE
POINT ATTACHMENTS AND ALLOWS THE
SCALE FREEDOM OF ALIGNMENT.
DO NOT
DO NOT INTERFACE HARDWARE
(SHACKLES, HOOKS ETC.) THAT ARE
OVERSIZED AND RESTRICT SINGLE POINT
LOADING AND SELF-ALIGNMENT WHICH
CAN RESULT IN OFF-AXIS LOADING.
DO NOT
DO NOT USE MULTIPLE ATTACHMENTS.
