Connect IDS440 to host device (optional)
The Serial Communications Port 2 (TB2) 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 IDS440
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 IDS440 performs the following tests:
1. A/D Conversion Test - the IDS440 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 IDS440 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 IDS440 displays "Ad xxx", where "xxx" is the conversion
count. This test takes approximately 10 seconds.
6. Stability Check - the IDS440 displays "C xxxx” where "xxxx" is the raw data
difference in scale readings. The IDS440 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 IDS440 has not been locked.
The IDS440 is now ready for
initialization, calibration, and configuration. Continue
