In the display layout, the area at the very top is reserved for the system toolbar. It can display
general data as well as status icons, which are enabled or disabled in setup.
Next is the weight display with all the relevant weighing information. The middle section of the
display is reserved for status messages and special applications. The bottom section contains the
areas reserved for DeltaTrac, and the softkeys are arranged underneath.
8 softkeys can be configured to enable a variety of integrated functions of the IND900, ranging from
the setting of time and date to access to specific memory tables, and including special scale
functions of the IND900 and its application PACs.
In the IND970-15 only, the numeric keypad is used for entering data. The numeric keys are located
at the top right side of the front panel of the terminal (Figure 1-9). Alphanumeric data can be
entered via the softkey or by using an external USB keyboard, or scanned in from a barcode reader
or other external device.
Eight function keys are arranged underneath the screen. The operator can use these keys to
navigate through the setup options in the menu structure and within setup and application screens.
The IND970-19 (Figure 1-11) has only an ON/OFF switch. The terminal is operated exclusively
using the touchscreen. A computer mouse or similar pointing device can also be connected to the
standard USB port.

2 Operation
The IND900 is a user-friendly and technically sophisticated weighing terminal that excels with its
large variety of application options and intuitive touchscreen operation.
While reading this manual and operating the terminal, keep in mind that various functions or
softkeys may not have been enabled for your installation. Hence, the menus pictured in the manual
may differ from terminal to terminal and depending on setup and configuration.
This document contains instructions for executing typical weighing processes with the IND900
terminal.
2.1. Security
The IND900 supports the use of a user name/password for configuration security on four levels. To
define the security levels that are assigned to specific parameters during setup. Refer to chapter 3,
Configuration.
•Administrator – An administrator account has unrestricted access to all areas of the operating
system and setup. There can be several administrator accounts. The primary administrator
account cannot be changed or deleted and its secret password cannot be modified. If logged in
under this primary administrator account, it is possible to create, manage and delete additional
user accounts.
If a calibration set is installed, certain metrologically relevant parameters can be changed only
after removing the calibration screw and pressing the W&M switch (refer to the following
section).
After configuring an additional administrator, you should take care to remember the password.
If the password is changed or forgotten, only the primary administrator account can access the
complete setup menu. Ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to the password.
Maintenance – Access at the maintenance level is generally identical to access at the
•
administrator level, except for access to metrologically relevant setup areas.
Supervisor – Access at this level is generally restricted to editing tables and setting the time and
•
date.
Operator – A default user account is predefined. This is particularly useful for locations with
•
validation requirements. Operator is the security level with the most restrictions, e.g. there are
generally only a few softkeys enabled with functions that are strictly limited to the operation
required for the logged-in user.
The user identified as a default user is automatically logged in after switching the terminal on the
IND900 or after the Logout of another user and generally has heavily restricted rights, but at
2-2

least the Login softkey which allows a (higher ranked) user to log in with user name and
password. Depending on the access right of the logged-in user, setup menus are displayed only or
they are displayed and can be changed. In addition, each user is assigned only certain softkeys
and operating functions.
If a login fails, the terminal displays an error message, exits the log-in dialog and returns to the
home screen.
The login can be time-limited. In this case, when the time configured in setup expires the logged-in
user is automatically logged out.
Operation
2.1.1. Calibration Screw
For calibrated operation, the IND900 must be equipped with a calibration set, the calibration screw
must be screwed in and the paper seal must be attached and undamaged. Only after removing the
calibration screw that is secured against manipulation by the paper seal – and therefore damaging
the paper seal – and pressing the W&M switch does a user who is logged in with administrator
security level have access to the metrologically relevant parameters of the connected scales.
For a recalibration, the calibration screw must be screwed in again, the locking mark must be
replaced and W&M Approval Mode must be enabled in setup of the scales. Figure 2-2 shows the
calibration screw applied to the rear of the device (IND930) or to the ELO-Box (IND970-15/-19),
with and without the paper seal.

2.2. Display Operation
The name of softkeys as well as the texts and messages that correspond to the IND900 software
are identified with gray shading in this manual. For example:
• “Touch the “Start” softkey if the display shows continue with Start.”
2.2.1. Softkeys and Symbols
Softkeys use graphical, self-explanatory symbols for identification. Table 2-1 shows the available
symbols and their functions, which are subdivided according into categories according to their use.
An asterisk (*) in the "Softkey" column indicates that this symbol is assigned to a softkey.
The exact function of the individual softkeys is explained in the chapters of these Operating
Instructions. The description of how the softkeys are configured can be found in chapter 3,
Configuration.
Even though softkeys have been configured, their
functions are not always available to the user. In Table
2-1, the softkeys are shown without a background
color. In the example at right, the Up softkey is active
and shows a blue background, the Next softkey inactive
and shows a brown background.
