Industrial Data Systems IDS 440 - Manual (Page 37)

IDS440 Users Manual version 4.2 Set Operation Parameters
33
Parameters 35, 36, 37, and 38: Print Codes
The IDS440 provides 4 programmable print codes. The print codes are used to send
special setup parameters to the printer, such as select print size or select print font. Each
print code is up to 4 characters long. Consult your printer manual for the print codes that
you may want to use. Enter the codes in decimal format (an ASCII carriage return = 13).
Select parameter 35 to begin print code 1 entry. The IDS440 prompts “C0 XXX” where
xxx is the current character 0 print code value. Enter data for character 0. The IDS440
prompts “C1 XXX”. Continue the code entry. Enter a 0 to end print code entry.
Parameter 39 Enable TTL Remote Control (1 [enabled])
Use parameter 39 to enable remote control using TTL inputs 1 thru 4 (TB4 pins 10-13).
Enter a 1 to use TTL inputs 1-4 to activate scale basic functions 1 - 4. For example,
grounding TB4 pin 10 (TTL input 1) activates scale basic function 1.
Enter a 0 to disable TTL remote control.
Display Intensity, Battery, Watch Dog Timer
Parameter 40 Display Intensity (10)
Use parameter 40 to set the brightness of the IDS440’s numeric display and LED
indicators. The brightness can be set from 1 (dimmest) to 15 (brightest).
Parameter 41 Battery Backup (0 [no])
The battery is used to preserve the time and date, memory registers, and ID memory
when power is lost. Set the Battery Backup parameter to ON (1) to prevent the IDS440
from clearing memory when power is restored, set parameter 41 to OFF (0) to erase
memory when power is restored.
Parameter 42 Enable Watch Dog Timer (0 [no])
The watchdog timer resets the IDS440 when the weight display is not updated within the
time-out time (0.2 sec). Set the Enable ON (1) to reset after time-out. Set the Enable
OFF (0) to turn off the watchdog timer.
Parameters 43-50 Fixed Registers
The Fixed Registers are used by the Trip-Level Event Monitor to determine when a trip-
level is reached. See the “Scale Basic / Event Monitor” manual for more information.
Parameters 43 thru 50 select Fixed Setpoints 1 thru 8. Select the parameter number to be
changed and then enter the trip-level weight.
