Connect IDS 410/422 to host device (optional)
The Serial Communications Port 2 (TB3) 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 OPERATIONS
PARAMETERS - Continuous TX2 Format, page 5-10). See the HARDWARE
INSTALLATION AND WIRING section (page 8-2) for pin assignments and sample cable
drawings.
Apply AC/DC Power to the IDS 410/422
Once you have connected the IDS 410/422 to the load cell and optional equipment, plug the
power cord into AC or DC power.
The IDS 410/422 has an onboard transformer for AC applications. Insert the power cord into the
AC socket-outlet and the unit will power up, the plug on the power supply cord is considered the
units disconect device. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
For DC applications the motherboard is equipted with a 2 position terminal block marked “PWR-
DC” connect the positive source side to the terminal marked + and negative to the terminal
marked
-.
See the HARDWARE INSTALLATION AND WIRING section (page 8-1) for pin
assignments and a sample cable drawing.
On power-up, the IDS 410/422 performs the following tests:
1 A/D Conversion Test - the IDS 410/422 checks the A/D converter to verify that data
conversions are taking place.
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.
4 Lamp Test - all segments on the numeric display and all LED's are turned on for 5 seconds.
5 Conversion Display - the IDS 410/422 displays "Ad xxx", where "xxx" is the conversion
count. This test takes approximately 10 seconds.
6 Stability Check - the IDS 410/422 displays "Cxxxx" where "xxxx" is the raw data difference
in load cell readings. The IDS 410/422 waits until the data difference is within a stable
range.To exit the above power on test functions, press the clear [ZERO] key. This is possible
only if the IDS 410/422 has not been locked. The IDS 410/422 is now ready for initialization,
calibration, and configuration.
