Parameter 14. Alternate Decimal Point (1)
Enter the decimal point position for the alternate units display.
Parameter 15. Alternate Count-by (5)
Enter the alternate units count-by.
Parameter 16. Alt Units Conversion Factor (45,360)
The IDS 430/433 calculates the alternate weight by multiplying the primary
weight by the conversion factor and then dividing by 100,000. The following table
lists some common conversions.
Alternate Units Conversion Factor Table
Conversion Conversion Factor Conv. Fact. x 100,000
lb to kg 0.45359 kg/lb 45,359
kg to lb 2.20462 lb/kg 220,462
lb to ton 0.0005 Ton/lb 50
kg to tonne 0.001 tonne/kg 100
gram to oz 0.352739 oz/gram 352,739
oz to gram 28.3495 gram/oz 2,834,950
lb to lb
kb to kg
Etc.
1 100,000
Enter the conversion factor x 100,000 for the configured alternate units.
Parameter 17. Full Scale Graduations (10,000)
Enter the number of graduations at full scale. The full-scale graduations are
calculated using the count-by, decimal position, and full-scale weight.
Full Scale Graduations = Full Scale Weight / count-by.
For example, if Full Scale Weight = 600.0 and count-by = 0.2 then Full Scale
Graduations = 600.0 / 0.2 = 3000.
Parameter 18. Overload Graduations (10,200)
Enter the number of graduations at which the scale is in overload status. The IDS
430/433 displays “Err oL” on the numeric display when the scale weight exceeds
overload. For example, if the Full Scale Graduations is 10,000 grads and the
scale is rated for 2% overload, then Overload Graduations = 10,000 + (10,000 x
0.02) = 10,200.
Parameter 19. Deadload Offset
This parameter is automatically calculated by the configure function (60 & 80).
