Connect IDS 433/430 to host device (optional)
The Serial Communications Port 2 (TB3) provides a continuous output of scale
data. This is used for connection to a host device such as a computer or to a
remote display (scoreboard). Continuous output transmission can be enabled or
disabled and the output format can be customized to interface with the host
device. See Hardware and Wiring Diagrams for pin assignments and sample
cable drawings. See Set Operation Parameters , and Parameter Functions for
other communication setup parameters.
Apply AC Power to the IDS 433/430
After the load cell and optional equipment has been connected, apply power
through the power cord.
Note: The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
On power-up, the IDS 433/430 performs the following tests:
1. A/D Conversion Test - the IDS 433/430 verifies that A/D conversions are
taking place.
2. Keyboard Scan - the keyboard is scanned to verify that no keys are engaged.
3. Memory Test - the IDS 433/430 displays "rTEST" while it performs a memory
test on internal memory. If a problem is encountered during the test, an error
message is displayed.
4. Lamp Test - all segments on the numeric display and all LED's are turned on
for 5 seconds.
5. Conversion Display - the IDS 433/430 displays "Ad xxx", where "xxx" is the
conversion count. This test takes approximately 10 seconds.
6. Stability Check - the IDS 433/430 displays "C xxxx” where "xxxx" is the raw
data difference in scale readings. The IDS 433/430 waits until the data
difference is within a stable range.
To exit the above power on test functions, press the CLEAR key during any test.
This is possible only if the IDS 433/430 has not been locked.
The IDS 433/430 is now ready for
initialization , calibration, and configuration.
