Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure mode.
1. Enter CFG 60. The IDS440 prompts “dEAdld”. Remove all weight from the scale.
Press the ENTER key. The IDS440 reads the scale’s deadload weight. NOTE: press
the CONTINUE key (Units) to skip deadload read.
2. The IDS440 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 IDS440 reads the calibration weight. If an error
is made in data entry, press the PRINT (
↑) key to re-enter the calibration weight.
3. The IDS440 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 IDS440 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 IDS440 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 IDS440 reads the calibration weight.
3. The IDS440 prompts “dEAdld”. Remove all weight from the scale. Press the
ENTER key. The IDS440 reads the scale’s deadload weight.
4. The IDS440 prompts “CFG 61”. Press the CLEAR key to exit the configure mode.
Function 62 Calibrate Deadload Only
Use function 62 to re-calibrate the deadload weight without affecting the span calibration.
1. Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure mode.
2. Enter CFG 62. The IDS440 prompts “dEAdld”. Remove all weight from the scale.
Press the ENTER key. The IDS440 reads the scale’s deadload weight.
3. The IDS440 prompts “CFG 62”. Press the CLEAR key to exit the configure mode.
Function 63 Adjust Gain Calibration
Use function 63 to make small adjustments to the span calibration factor. Zero the scale
and then place a known weight on the scale.
1. Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure mode.
2. Enter CFG 63. The IDS440 displays the weight on the scale along with a center of
digit indication in the least significant digit position of the display (the minus sign (-)
indicates the center of digit.
