IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Introduction Introduction Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the IDS440 User's Manual. This manual describes the installation, calibration and setup, and operation of the IDS440 weigh scale indicator. The IDS440 is a microprocessor based weight indicator with rugged design and state-of-the-art technology.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Introduction What’s In Each Section This manual is organized and divided into separate sections, which describe the installation, calibration, setup, operation, and testing of the IDS440. Some Sections, such as Installation, Setup and Calibration are intended for trained scale technicians familiar with the installation of computer equipment. Other sections present information applicable to a user, installer, or system integrator.

IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 General Description General Description This section gives you a general description on the operation of the IDS440's keyboard and display. The keyboard is used to initiate weighing functions, for data entry, maintenance, setup, and testing. The numeric display is used for weight and error display and for data entry. The LED status lights indicate the status of the weigh scale. Additional information about the keyboard and display is provided in section: Using the IDS440.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 General Description The IDS440 Display The IDS440 DISPLAY consists of a 6 character NUMERIC display and 6 statuses LED’s The NUMERIC display is normally used to display the weight on the scale. The LED’s display the scale status. When lighted they indicate the following conditions: GROSS- The number displayed is the gross weight on the scale. NET - The number displayed is the net weight on the scale. MOTION- The weight on the scale is changing (not stable).
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Installation and Setup Installation and Setup This section provides information about unpacking, installing, and setup of the IDS440. It also directs the installer to the appropriate sections of the manual for hardware and setup installation. Unpacking the IDS440 Installation begins with unpacking the IDS440. Observe any instructions or cautions, which appear in the shipping container.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Installation and Setup 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.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Installation and Setup Setup Guide Setup the IDS440 in the following order: Initialize to Factory Defaults The IDS440 is initialized at the factory. It must be re-initialized if the program memory (EPROM) or the parameter memory (EAROM) is replaced. The Initialize function clears the memory and sets the configuration parameters to their default values. Use parameter function 70 described in Parameter Functions to initialize the IDS440.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs Using the IDS440 The IDS440 has 7 function keys located at the bottom of the keyboard, a numeric keypad, and 2 control keys (ENTER, and CLEAR). This section of the IDS440 manual describes what the keys are used for and how to use them. Keyboard Layout Operation of Function Keys The function keys are located on the bottom of the IDS440’s front panel. Zero Press the ZERO key to zero the scale.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs Tare AUTO TARE: Press the TARE key. The IDS440 reads the weight on the scale and stores it in the tare register. The IDS440 switches to NET mode and displays the net weight. KEYBOARD TARE: Use the numeric keys to enter a tare weight. Press the TARE key. The IDS440 stores the entered weight in the tare register and switches to NET display mode. CLEAR TARE: Press the numeric ZERO key. Press the TARE key.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs Built In Application Programs The following built in programs are available: 1. Fill to Setpoint. 2. Checkweigh: Under/Between/Over. 3. Weigh-in / Weigh-out. 4. Axle Weigh – Short Scale. 5. Axle Weigh – Long Scale. 6. ID Tare and Total. 7. Peak Hold. Use parameter function 73, “Initialize Function Memory”, to activate a built in program.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs #1 Fill to Setpoint Press F1 key to enter a setpoint. Place an empty container on the scale. Press F2 key to begin filling. TTL output 1 turns on until the weight on the scale is equal or greater than the setpoint. Installation Connect TTL output 1 to relay or lamp actuator.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs # 2 Checkweigh: Under/Between/Over The indicator monitors the scale for activity. When the scale goes above the ‘empty’ weight, the indicator waits for stable weight, and then outputs an indication of Under, Between (OK), or over. The cycle resets when the scale goes below the empty weight. Installation Connect TTL outputs to relay or lamp actuators.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs # 3 Weigh-in / Weigh-out This program uses the ID memory for weigh-in / weigh-out transactions. An ID record is created using the Weigh-in function. The Weigh-out function recalls the ID, calculates Gross/Tare/Net of the transaction, prints the transaction, and adds the net weight to the ID’s totals register. The ID data is saved for further weigh-in/weigh-out transactions, or weigh-out only transactions.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs REBUILD ID MEMORY: Press the ENTER key when the display prompts, “rebuiLd”. The display then prompts “id”. Enter the numeric 0 then press ENTER to rebuild ID memory. COUNT UNUSED ID’S: Press the ENTER key when the display prompts “Count”. The display prompts “FrExxx” where xxx is the number of unused ID records in memory. Set Beginning Sequence Number Use the numeric keypad to enter number 9.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs # 4 Axle Weigh – Short Scale Automatically weigh multiple axles (or containers), print each axle weight, and print axle total.

IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs # 5 Axle Weigh – Long Scale, Unattended Automatically weigh multiple axles (or containers), print each axle weight, and print axle total. Installation Connect the Red light / Green light relays. Green light = TTL out 1 TB4 pin 1 Red light = TTL out 2 TB4 pin 2 Setup Parameters Configure the following parameters: Parameter 43 Trip level weight. Determines when an axle is on the scale. Parameter 74, 1 Red light turn delay timer.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs # 6 ID, Tare, and Total This program uses the ID memory to store tare weights and totals. Enter ID Tare Data Press the F1 key. The display prompts "id". Enter up to 8 digits for ID and then press the ENTER key. The display prompts “tArE”. Enter the tare weight. Recall ID and Tare Press the F2 key. The display prompts "id". Enter up to 8 digits for the weigh-out ID and then press the ENTER key.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Built In Application Programs enter a new value and then press the ENTER key. The next sequence number printed will be the entered value +1. Notes • • The ID file maintenance functions are password level 1 protected. If a password has been configured (function 64) the operator will be prompted for the password before the file maintenance menu is displayed. ID memory is cleared to zero at power up unless parameter 41 (battery back up enable) is set to 1.
IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Set Operation Parameters Set Operation Parameters This section describes the operation parameters of the IDS440 and how their settings affect the operation of the weight indicator.
