Parameter 15. Alternate Count-by (5)
Enter the alternate units count-by.
Parameter 16. Alt Units Conversion Factor (45,360)
The IDS440 calculates the alternate weight by multiplying the primary weight by the
conversion factor and then dividing by 100,000. The following table lists some common
conversions.
Alternate Units Conversion Factor Table
Conversion Conversion Factor Conv. Fact. x 100,000
lb to kg 0.45359 kg/lb 45,359
kg to lb 2.20462 lb/kg 220,462
lb to ton 0.0005 Ton/lb 50
kg to tonne 0.001 tonne/kg 100
gram to oz 0.352739 oz/gram 352,739
oz to gram 28.3495 gram/oz 2,834,950
lb to lb
kb to kg
Etc.
1 100,000
Enter the conversion factor x 100,000 for the configured alternate units.
Parameter 17. Full Scale Graduations (10,000)
Enter the number of graduations at full scale. The full-scale graduations are calculated
using the count-by, decimal position, and full-scale weight.
Full Scale Graduations = Full Scale Weight / count-by.
For example, if Full Scale Weight = 600.0 and count-by = 0.2 then Full Scale
Graduations = 600.0 / 0.2 = 3000.
Parameter 18. Overload Graduations (10,200)
Enter the number of graduations at which the scale is in overload status. The IDS440
displays Err oL on the numeric display when the scale weight exceeds overload. For
example, if the Full Scale Graduations is 10,000 grads and the scale is rated for 2%
overload, then Overload Graduations = 10,000 + (10,000 x 0.02) = 10,200.
Parameter 19. Deadload Offset
This parameter is automatically calculated by the configure function (60 & 80).
Parameter 20. Disable Power-On Zero (1 [disabled])
Enter a 1 to disable the power-on zero function. Enter a 0 to enable power-on zero. The
power-on zero function attempts to acquire zero when the power on tests have completed.
If the weight on the scale is above the zero range the display prompts “Err 0”. Press the
ENTER key to view the scale weight. Remove the weight from the scale to enter
weighing mode.
