Setup Guide
Setup the IDS440 in the following order:
Initialize to Factory Defaults
The IDS440 is initialized at the factory. It must be re-initialized if the program memory
(EPROM) or the parameter memory (EAROM) is replaced. The Initialize function
clears the memory and sets the configuration parameters to their default values. Use
parameter function 70 described in Parameter Functions to initialize the IDS440.
NOTE: Calibration and setup must be performed after the IDS440 is initialized.
Setup & "Quick" Calibration Guide
The IDS440 should be configured BEFORE calibration. Set Operation Parameters
details all of the scale parameters that are available. To quickly get the IDS440 up and
running, the following Quick Calibration Guide lists only the mandatory parameters that
must be defined. Enter the following scale parameters using the selection outlined in Set
Operation Parameters and Parameter Functions.
Parameter (section) Purpose (Factory Setting)
1 (Set Operation Parameters) Load Cell mv/V (3)
11 (Set Operation Parameters) Decimal Point (none)
12 (Set Operation Parameters) Count-by (1)
17 (Set Operation Parameters) Full Scale Graduations (10,000)
18 (Set Operation Parameters) Overload Graduations (10,200)
60 (Parameter Functions) Calibrate Scale
Calibrate the Weight Indicator
Use Parameter Function 60 to calibrate the weight indicator (page 6-3).
