Product DescriptionThe MSI-9850 RF Digital Indicator is the latestaddition to the CellScale product family.Combined with one or more CellScale devices,the MSI-9850 functions as a wireless remoteterminal that provides complete control overscale and data functions. Each MSI-9850 canlog on to 64 different networks allowing it toserve multiple CellScales and/or MSI CraneScales with simple one-button network/channel(sensor/scale) changes. All CellScale featuresare supported, including Inter-Network RadioMessaging, Data Logging, Totalizing andStatistics.

The MSI-9850 features a large primary weightdisplay that is easily read from a distance andan information display to providenetwork/channel detail. The information displayalso supports multiple CellScale channelsallowing users to display up to 8 simultaneously.With a touch of a button, users can choosewhich channel to view on the primary weightdisplay. Operation is straightforward throughthe alphanumeric keypad.

The MSI-9850 can remotely calibrate theCellScale and provides a simple user interfaceto the advanced features of the CellScale. Allcalibration data is stored in the CellScaleallowing any MSI-9850 to be used with aCellScale based wireless weighing systemwithout recalibration. Enhanced dataacquisition, sophisticated data logging, andcomplete display of multiple sensors / scalescan be initiated and managed with the MSI-9850.

Compact industrial packaging and flexiblemounting allows the MSI-9850 to easilyintegrate with your existing equipment andprovide outstanding performance in the mostdemanding applications.
