Function 60 Calibrate Scale - Deadload First
Use function 60 to calibrate the scale by reading the deadload first and then
reading the span. Set the Scale Operation Parameters before using function 60.
Best results are obtained when the IDS 430/433 and load cells have reached
thermal equilibrium (power applied for approximately 30 to 120 minutes
depending on load cell size). NOTE: function 60 automatically adjusts parameter
19 (deadload offset).
Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure
mode.
1. Enter CFG 60. The IDS 430/433 prompts “dEAdld”. Remove all weight from
the scale. Press the ENTER key. The IDS 430/433 reads the scale’s
deadload weight. NOTE: press the CONTINUE key (Units) to skip deadload
read.
2. The IDS 430/433 display alternates between “CALib” and the weight on the
scale. Place the calibration weight on the scale. Enter the calibration weight
using the numeric keypad. Press the ENTER key. The IDS 430/433 reads
the calibration weight. If an error is made in data entry, press the PRINT (

key to re-enter the calibration weight.
3. The IDS 430/433 prompts “CFG 60”. Press the CLEAR key to exit the
configure mode.
Function 61 Calibrate Scale - Span First
Use function 61 to calibrate the scale by reading the span first and then reading
the deadload. Set the Scale Operation Parameters before using function 61.
Best results are obtained when the IDS 430/433 and load cells have reached
thermal equilibrium (power applied for approximately 30 to 120 minutes
depending on load cell size).
1. Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure
mode.
2. Enter CFG 61. The IDS 430/433 display alternates between “CALib” and the
weight on the scale. Place the calibration weight on the scale. Enter the
calibration weight and press the ENTER key. The IDS 430/433 reads the
calibration weight.
3. The IDS 430/433 prompts “dEAdld”. Remove all weight from the scale. Press
the ENTER key. The IDS 430/433 reads the scale’s deadload weight.
4. The IDS 430/433 prompts “CFG 61”. Press the CLEAR key to exit the
configure mode.
