Page 5: Section 1 Introduction
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The IDC series offers a range of an accurate, fast and versatile counting scales that can use one additional external platform (Remote scale) for weighing or counting of heavier items. These counting scales have the ability to store detailed information on the products that are used most (PLU). -

Page 7: Section3 Installation
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 LOCATING THE SCALES • The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. • Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. • Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate. -
Page 8: Setting Up The Remote Scale
• Attach the power supply cable to the connector on the right side of the scale base. Plug in the power supply module. The power switch is located at the right side of the scale base. • The scale will show the model number in the “Weight” display window (IDC 15- where 15 denotes the maximum capacity of the scale in Kg) and the current software revision numbers in the “Unit Weight”... - Page 9 a reduced resolution should be selected in the remote scale technical set up. For example, if a system uses four 2mV/V 1000kg load cells for a scale of 1000kg capacity then the span output at full scale will be only 2.5mV. In this situation the resolution should be reduced to give a good number of ADC counts per displayed division, for example, set to 1:5000 or 1000kg x 0.2kg.

Page 10: Section4 Key Descriptions
SECTION 4 KEY DESCRIPTIONS 0-9, • These keys are used to manually enter a value for tare weights, unit weight and sample size. A secondary function is to enter alpha-numeric characters for PLU descriptions etc. Pressing this key clears the unit weight or an erroneous entry. It also clears the memory accumulation when the total is displayed. -
Page 11: Section5 Displays
SECTION 5 DISPLAYS The scales have three display windows- Weight, Unit Weight and Count. 5.1 WEIGHT WINDOW This consists of a 6 digit display to indicate the weight on the scale. An arrow above the symbols will indicate the following: Low battery, Net Weight Display, "Net"... -
Page 12: Section6 Operation
SECTION 6 OPERATION • The basic weighing functions are same for both the scales- local and remote. However the number of weighing divisions may be less on the remote scale dependant on the total capacity of the load cell/s used. •... -
Page 13: Taring
the platform is empty. 6.1.2 TARING Select the local or remote scale as applicable by pressing the Local/Rem key. Preset tare values can be used with both the local and remote scale. If a new tare value is to be used, there are two methods for entering a tare value. The first method uses the weight on the platform and the second uses a value to be entered by the user. -
Page 14: Memory Functions
6.2 MEMORY FUNCTIONS The M+ key will add the results of a weighing into memory, regardless of whether the local or remote scale is being used for the weighing. 6.2.1 Manual accumulation • The values (weight and count) shown on the display can be added to the values in the accumulator by pressing the M+ key. -
Page 15: Weighing A Sample To Determine The Unit Weight
6.3.1 Weighing a sample to determine the Unit Weight To determine the average weight of the items to be counted place a known quantity of the items on the scale and then enter the quantity being weighed. The scale will then divide the total weight by the number of samples and display the average unit weight. -
Page 16: Count Pre-Set Or Check-Weighing
count used as a sample. 6.3.4 Count pre-set or check-weighing Check-weighing (or Count Pre-setting) is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound when the net weight (or the number of items) on the scale meets or exceeds a number stored in memory. -
Page 17: Storing Plu's Manually
6.4.1 STORING PLU’S MANUALLY ACTIONS DISPLAYS REMARKS Weight Unit weight Count “00000” “ 0“ “ 0“ The scale is zeroed. Press Zero if required. Note: Enter or determine the Tare Weight when a container is to be used (see section 6.2 of this User Manual). -
Page 18: Entering Description Manually
Note: Hold “0-9” digit keys to input character, the “.” key to go back to the previous digit or the “M+” key to advance to the next character. A flashing character can be used for entering a space by pressing the 0 key for slightly longer duration. -
Page 19: Recalling Plu's Manually
6.4.3 RECALLING PLU’S MANUALLY • To recall the PLU values the user should first select either local or remote scale as the tare value stored will be specific to the scale selected. • Then press the PLU key, enter the PLU number (00 – 99) then press the PLU key again to recall the data. -
Page 20: Section7 Parameters
SECTION 7 PARAMETERS The parameters are split into 2 sections, one for the managers and the other one for Technical. 7.1 USER PARAMETERS Enter the User Parameters section by pressing the Pst key during the self-test when the power is turned on. This will allow the user to set the way he wants the scale to work by choosing specific values from some options. - Page 21 P Cont Sets the RS-232 interface to print continuously and the accumulation function is disabled. SEr r E Sets the RS-232 to print continuously the weight only.(for remote display) P bAU d b 600 Sets the required baud rate b 1200 (speed for the RS- 232 b 2400 communications).

SECTION 10 CALIBRATION ACTION DISPLAYS “ Pi n” During the self-test at power on, press the Zero key. The scale will ask you to enter the password. “ Pi n” “ ----” Default Password is 0000. Enter “0” four times. Password can be changed in technical parameters. -
Page 27: Section11 Error Codes
SECTION 11 ERROR CODES During the initial power-on testing or during the operation, the scale may show an error message. The meaning of the error messages are described below. If an error message is shown, repeat the procedure that caused the message, such as turning the balance on, calibration or any other functions. -
Page 28: Section12 Technical Parameters
SECTION 12 TECHNICAL PARAMETERS The technical parameters accessed via the “tEch” prompt at the end of user parameters and are password controlled to prevent unauthorized access. These parameters set the metrology for the scales. Each scale is set independently. The parameters will set capacity, division, decimal point position, initial zero range, auto and manual zero range as well as factory calibration. - Page 29 “dESC” “ 0.00” Use U.Wt/Unit to enter the decimal point position “SEL” “0060” and use the numeric keypad to select and press Tare To change the remote scale capacity (SEL), press CE to clear and then enter the new value followed by Tare “inC 1”...
