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. The key function may be changed
when the mode of operation is changed or configured by the user. The operation of the function
keys is explained in chapter 4, titled "USING THE IDS 410/422".
Alternate Function Keys
The data entry procedure has been enhanced for the setup mode and other data entry related
procedures. The new user interface is much easier and more intuitive. Negative numbers and
decimal points may now be entered for some register parameters (setpoints) and during the test
weight entry in the calibration mode.
The following steps describe how to use the alternate function keys for data entry in the
configure mode or any data entry function:.
1. Press and hold the GROSS/NET key down and then press the UNITS key. The unit
enters configure mode and displays “CFG xx”, where “xx” is the current parameter
selected.
2. The alternate function keys (ITEM, +, -, ENTER) are used to select any parameter and
change the current numeric value.
3. Press the ITEM key to select the digit to change. The first digit (most significant digit) is
selected and begins flashing to indicate the current selection. To select another digit, press
the ITEM key repeatedly until the desired digit is selected.
4. After you select the digit to change, use the (+) or (-) keys to increment or decrement the
selected digit. Once the digit has been changed, use the ITEM key to select another digit
and repeat this procedure. Note: The minus sign ‘-‘ can only be selected on the first digit.
5. Press the ENTER key to accept the current value or press the CLEAR key to discard any
changes.
