IDS 410/422 User's Manual GENERAL DESCRIPTION This section gives you a general description on the operation of the IDS 410/422'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.
IDS 410/422 User's Manual The IDS 410/422 Keyboard The keyboard is used to initiate weighing functions and for setup of the IDS 410/422. Function Keys The function keys ZERO, TARE, GROSS/NET, UNITS and PRINT are used to Zero the scale, Tare the scale, switch the weight display between Gross and Net display, switch the weight display between LB and KG display, and Print the weight.
WARNING!! Do not apply power to the unit until all connections are completed as described in this section and the access panel has replaced and secured onto the back of the IDS 410/422. Connect IDS 410/422 to load cell or junction box Connect the load cell or junction box to the Load Cell Terminal Block (TB1) located inside IDS 410/422's enclosure.

2 Keyboard Scan - the keyboard is scanned to verify that no keys are engaged.. 3 Memory Test - the IDS 410/422 displays "rtESt" while it performs a memory test on internal memory. If a problem is encountered during the test, an error message is displayed.
Setup the IDS 410/422 in the following order: Initialize to Factory Defaults The IDS 410/422 is initialized at the factory. It must be re-initialized if the program memory (EPROM, U4 , RAM U5 ), the parameter memory (EAROM, U12) is replaced or if the optional clock chip in being installed for the first time.

IDS 410/422 User's Manual Calibrate the Weight Indicator Use Parameter Function (CFG 60 or 80) to calibrate the weight indicator (page 6-2). Parameter 80 is used for mutipoint linerization. Note: Parameter 79 must be set to a 1 to enable multipoint...
The label consists of two parts, the label and the backing material. Carefully remove the backing from the label and affix the label to the IDS 410/422 in the position indicated above. Label text must be inserted by the user/installer in the space provided to reflect the scale/weighing system capacity and minimum display increment (count-by).
IDS 410/422 User's Manual Using the IDS 410/422 The IDS 410/422 weigh scale indicator has 8 modes of operation. See chapter 5 "Set Operation Parameters", configuration parameter 73 to select one of the modes. Keyboard Layout The IDS 410/422 has 5 function keys that are used for weighing functions, data entry, parameter setup, and testing.
• The scale is stable (no motion). TARE Press the TARE key. The IDS 410/422 reads the weight on the scale and stores it in the tare register. The IDS 410/422 switches to NET mode and displays the net weight. If the gross weight on the scale is zero (0), the tare register is set to 0 and the mode switches to GROSS display mode.
IDS 410/422 User's Manual Gross/Net Press the Gross/Net key to alternate between Gross and Net display modes. UNITS Press the UNITS key to alternate between (lb) and (kg) display modes. PRINT Press the PRINT key to print weight data. Gross Weight (Page format 1) is printed if the IDS 410/422 is in Gross display mode, Gross/Tare/Net (page format 2) are printed in the Net display mode.

IDS 410/422 User's Manual Auto Print and Total Weighing/Multi-Container (Mode 2) The Multi-Container Weighing mode uses a Trip Weight to auto print and the PRINT key to print the accumulated total weight. This application is also used in applications where numbered weights are required with a total.

IDS 410/422 User's Manual Unattended Auto Axle Weigh - Long Scale (Mode 4) The Automatic Axle Weigh mode is used for unattended, long scale, axle weighing applications. It operates the same as mode 5 except the weight on the scale is tared after each weighment.
IDS 410/422 User's Manual Peak Hold (Mode 5) The peak hold mode maintains the peak weight detected by the weight indicator. Display Peak Weight Use the GROSS/NET key to scroll thru the display options as follows: Initial mode: Display live gross weight.

Multi-point calibration function Scale Parameters The scale parameters configure IDS 410/422 for the weigh platform or load cell that it is connected to. The preceding table titled "SCALE PARAMETERS” lists the scale parameters and their factory settings. Use the "Field Setting" column to record any changes made to the factory default values.
(3 mv/v) The IDS 410/422 can be used with load cell outputs of 1 mv/V, 2 mv/V, or 3 mv/V. Enter a 1, 2, or 3 for the load cell type used in your application. NOTE: there are 2 additional settings: 0 for high gain (0.5mv/v inputs) and 4 for low gain (6 mv/v inputs).
IDS 410/422 User's Manual Parameter 5: Motion Detection Band (6) The motion band is used by the MOTION DETECT function to determine if the scale is in motion (not stable). If the amount of change between display updates is greater than the motion band, a MOTION status is generated (unstable condition).
IDS 410/422 User's Manual Parameter 10: Primary Units Type (1 [lb]) The scale is calibrated in the primary units. The UNITS key is used to toggle the weight display between primary units and alternate units. Enter the number that corresponds with the primary units: 0 = UNDEFINED, units are not printed.
Parameter 13: Alternate Units Type (2 [kg]) Alternate units are the alternate display and print unit of measure that can be used in addition to the primary units. The UNITS switch on the IDS 410/422's keyboard toggles the weight display between primary units and secondary units.
= 600.0 / 0.2 = 3000. Parameter 18: Overload Graduations (10,200) Enter the number of graduations at which the scale is in overload status. The IDS 410/422 displays Err oL on the numeric display when the scale weight exceeds overload. For example, if the Full Scale Graduations is 10,000 grads and the scale is rated for 2% overload, then Overload Graduations = 10,000 + (10,000 x 0.02) = 10,200.
IDS 410/422 User's Manual Serial I/O Ports The IDS 410/422 is equipped with two bi-directional serial communication ports that can communicate to an optional printer, a computer, bar code reader, a score board or other serial communication devices. The baud rate and format can be set independently for each port.
