Installation Guide
Connect IDS440 to load cell
Connect the load cell to the Load Cell Terminal Block located inside IDS440’s enclosure.
See the HARDWARE INSTALLATION AND WIRING section for pin assignments and
a sample cable drawing.
Connect IDS440 to the printer (optional)
The IDS440 can be connected to a printer using Com Port 1 (TB1) for RS232 or Current
Loop interfaces or by using the TTL I/O Port (TB4) for Centronix compatible interfaces.
See Hardware and Wiring Diagrams for pin assignments and sample cable drawings.
See Set Operation Parameters, and Parameter Functions for other communication
setup parameters.
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.
