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. It is designed for use in industrial
environments to perform the following functions:
• Analog to Digital conversion (A/D) - converts the analog signal from a strain gauge
"load cell" to a numeric weight.
• Signal Processing - filters electrical and mechanical noise from the load cell signal
using electronic circuits and digital filtering.
• Basic Weighing - push button zero, tare functions (push button and keyboard tare),
display of gross or net weight and scale status, and transmission of weight data to a
printer and a computer.
• Additional Functions - trip level event monitor, programmable "Scale Basic"
functions, TTL level 'setpoint' inputs and outputs, and remote control via TTL inputs
or RS232 serial input.
The IDS440's stainless-steel enclosure is designed for industrial environments and can be
used in wash down applications.
The IDS440 has two bi-directional serial communication ports that are used for printer
output, bar code input, computer communications, and remote control. The serial ports
support RS232, RS422, RS485, and 20ma Current Loop communication.
The IDS440 has one parallel TTL I/O port for output to a printer or for setpoint
input/output. The TTL inputs can be used for remote control (ZERO, TARE,
GROSS/NET, PRINT).
Options available include time & date, networking, analog output, solid-state relay board,
and peak hold.
