rial ports, a full duplex Elec-
tronic Data Processing
(EDP)port, theunitcan beconfigured,calibrated,andevenoperated fromaremotekeyboard
or terminal. Coded keyboard commands for these purposes are listed in Section 6 of the
manual. The other serial communications port is a simplex, output-only Printer port. The EDP
port is RS232; the Printer port has RS232 and 20-mA outputs.
Both serial ports can be set to operate in continuous mode (STREAM OR DEMAND), or
TICKET mode. In the STREAM or DEMAND modes, both ports can continuously transmit at
ratesupto19,200baudinanyofseveralpopularindicator formatsshowninSection 6.4.Inthe
TICKET mode, the ports can transmit a special single-ticket data string to a ticket or roll-tape
printer that will customize the appearance of weight tickets .
Two digital inputs are available to allow remote operation of any of the five front panel keys, or
keyboard lockout and special display functions. These digital inputs are suitable for use with
dry contact switch closures or TTL logic level input.

2.4 MAKING POWER CONNECTIONS
The IQplus 310A is an AC-powered unit. Note that there is no on/off power switch; the unit
powers up when it is connected to the power source.
The power connector should only be mated with a three-contact connector where the third
contact provides ground connection. Failure to provide a continuous ground connection to
the unit may render it unsafe. To avoid damage to the unit from incorrect voltage, check
the voltage rating on the rear panel
label and the jumper settings
(Figure 5) to be certain the settings
match the local voltage. If no
changes are necessary, turn to
Section 2.5. If the voltage settings
require a change, see below.
TheIQplus310Acanbepoweredby
115 or 230 VAC. The positions of
jumpers JP1, JP2 and JP3 on the
power supply board determine the
voltage setting.
If changes are necessary:
1. Position the jumpers on the power supply board
as in Figure 5 to match the local line voltage.
2. If necessary, change the dual fuses located on the
power supply board. Replacement fuses are speci-
fied in Section 7.1, and are also listed on the label
mounted on the main circuit board.
3. Change the line voltage and current rating on the
rear panel label to reflect the new settings.

2.5 CONNECTING LOAD CELL CABLE
The load cell cable connects to a plug-in terminal block (J3) on the main circuit board. When
shipped, the IQplus 310A is configured for 4-wire load cell connections (JP1 and JP2 on main
board are jumpered). If sense leads are to be used in a 6-wire connection, remove these two
jumpers. The load cell cable should be retained at its original length for correct temperature
compensation. MakeconnectionsatterminalJ3accordingtoFigure6. Tightenthecablefitting.
2.6 CONNECTING COMMUNICATION CABLE
The serial communications cable connects to a plug-in terminal block at J4 on the main
circuit board according to Figure 7. Use only one shielded cable for all signal connections,
including the digital inputs if used. Remove the factory installed hole plug from the fitting
and install the communications cable as follows:
(1) Loosen the cable fitting and insert the communications cable far enough to reach J4.
Prepare the cable wires and shield as required. Connect them to J4 on the main
circuit board. See Figure 8 for location of J4.
(2) Install a cable tie as shown in Figure 3 and tighten the cable fitting.

2.7 INSTALLING LABELS
The accessory kit includes a blank capacity strip, an assortment of alternate weight unit
labels, and three key labels.
2.7.1 CAPACITY STRIP
The capacity strip is a piece of flexible plastic on which the capacity and serial number of
the scale are recorded. This information should be typed or written in indelible ink.
The capacity strip is loaded into a channel along the top of the front panel between the front
panel bezel and the flexible switch panel. See Figure 9 on the following page. The open-
ing of this channel is located behind the right-hand edge of the front panel bezel. When
properly installed, the capacity strip can be read from the front of the indicator.
To install the capacity strip, refer to Figure 9 and follow these steps:
(1) Stand the IQplus 310A on its left side with the rear of the unit facing you.
(2) Note that the ends of the capacity strip are different. The back end is bent, forming a
tab to hold when removing the strip. The front end has trimmed corners to make
loading easier. Hold the capacity strip just behind the front end, (removal tab up) and
the printed side facing the front of the indicator.
(3) Feed the front end of the capacity strip over the display board and into the loading
slot.
Note the feed angle of the capacity strip.
Do not force the capacity strip into the channel. This may crease the strip.
(4) To start feeding the strip into the channel, wiggle the capacity strip left and right
slightly while gently pushing it into the channel (see Figure 9).
(5) Gently feed the rest of the capacity strip into the channel until it stops. The removal
tab should extend out of the front panel approximately 5/8 inch when the capacity
strip is fully loaded.
(6) Crease the removal tab back so it does not interfere with the gasket seal.

2.7.2 WEIGHT UNIT LABELS
The supplied weight unit labels can be applied over the existing "lb" and "kg" unit labels
which are printed on the front panel. For custom units, a transparent label is provided.
Print the custom label on adhesive label stock. Laminate the transparent label to the stock
and trim it to size.
2.7.3 KEY LABELS
The "TEST" key label should be applied over the "UNITS" key when the international key-
board layout is selected. The black label should be applied to the "TARE" or "UNITS" key if
either is locked out. The transparent label can be used for custom functions or can be
laminated to a piece of black label stock to make another "blackout" key.

FIGURE 10 – CASE INSTALLATION
2.8 REPLACING THE CASE
Before installing the case, check the following:
• All cables dressed and securely connected.
• Jumpers JP1 and JP2 installed or removed correctly for your application.
• Chassis cleaned of cut-off wires and insulation.
• Capacity strip properly installed and tabs folded away from gaskets.
Install the case as follows:
(1) Slidethecaseontotheunit,
being careful that the ca-
pacity label does not inter-
fere with the gasket seal.
(2) Installonedrilledstandoffat
position 6 in Figure 10 and
hex and/or cap nuts at all
other positions. The stan-
dard model has 4 threaded
studs; the NEMA 4 model
has 14.
(3) For the standard model,
tighten cap nuts and stand-
off slightly to compress the gaskets.
(4) For the NEMA 4 model, use the tightening sequence shown in Figure 10. Using #8-32
small pattern hex nuts on locations 1-5 and 7-14 and the drilled standoff at 6, tighten the
hex nuts and standoff by small increments so the gasket compresses evenly. To assure
a watertight seal, tighten the hex nuts and standoff to a final torque value of 4 lb-in. After
completion of the final torque sequence, install the cap nuts on locations 1-5 and 7-14 to
a torque of 4 lb-in.

2.10 POWER-UP
There is no power on/off switch for the IQplus 310A. Power is applied immediately when
the line cord is connected to the supply. The normal operation of the IQplus 310A upon
power-up in the default GO mode of the PWR UP parameter is to show a display check of
all front panel LED figures for five seconds, then automatically shift to the GROSS weight
mode.
If the PWR UP parameter is set to DELAY, the five-second display check is followed by a
60-second display of the word DELAY and a simulated clock with a moving minute hand. If
no motion is detected within the 60 seconds, the display will shift to the selected mode. If
motion is detected, the clock and the 60-second period begin again. If the simulated clock
does not move, or if the display check does not clear in the GO mode within at least 10
seconds, it may indicate that no signal is present. Short +SIG and -SIG together to see if
this clears the display. If the display clears, check signal leads to the indicator for breaks or
loose connections. The Gross weight may be displayed by pressing the Gross/Net key.
In the unlikely event that process parameter data stored in memory becomes corrupted,
one of the error messages listed in Section 2.11 on the following page is displayed during
power up. This error code indicates that the corresponding parameter value is outside
normal limits and should be corrected.

ERRORCODE PARAMETERCORRUPTED REMEDY
Any of these codes
displayed upon power-
up indicates that a
parameter value has
been corrupted and is
outside normal limits.
The value for that
parameter should be
corrected using the
EDP port and the
appropriate EDP Set-
Up Commands (See
Section 6.1). After
correcting the param-
eter value with the
EDP port, send the
"RS" command
through the EDP port
to reset the system.

10000, DSP DIV = 5, DEC PNT = 88888.88, and UNIT = lb, then the capacity is 500.00 lb in
.05 lb increments.
Use the four arrow keys to move through the menus and select the desired parameter and
value. Press the TARE (Enter) key to enter the value. Pressing TARE also advances the
display to the next parameter to be set. Pressing the UP or DOWN key also selects or enters
the parameter.
Forparametersrequiringanumericalentry(indicatedby“XX.......”),usetheleft/rightarrowkeys
to select the digit to change (the selected digit will blink). Once selected and blinking, use the
up/down keys to increase or decrease the value of the digit. When the desired value is
displayed, press TARE to store the entry. To leave an “XX...” value unchanged, press TARE
before using the up or down keys.

3.3 MENU DESCRIPTIONS
3.3.1 SETUP MENU
NOTE: Factory default settings are shown in bold type with a √. The two-letter code in
parentheses beneath each parameter name is the EDP command for that parameter.
GRADS
(GR) Specifies number of full scale graduations. Value should be consis- tent with legal requirements and environmental limits on the useful
system resolution.
0 to 60,000
Default = 10,000 √
0 = 1 √
1 = 2
2 = 5
DSP DIV
(DD) Specifies display division size—the number that GRADS are multi- plied by to give the displayed weight. This number is equal to the full
scale capacity divided by the number of full scale graduations. This
number may be modified automatically by the indicator when the
UNITS key (or equivalent EDP command) is used to display alternate
units.
0 = 8.888888
1 = 88.88888
2 = 888.8888
3 = 8888.888
4 = 88888.88
5 = 888888.8
6 = 8888888 √
7 = 8888880
8 = 8888800
Determines location of decimal point or dummy zeros. Code 6 has
no decimal point. Codes 7 and 8 have no decimal point and one
and two dummy zeros respectively. Value should be consistent with
legal requirements. This number may be modified automatically by
the indicator when the UNITS key (or equivalent EDP command) is
used to display alternate units.

DFILT1
(F1)
DFILT2
(F2)
DFILT3
(F3)
Sets each of the three digital filter stages to a value representing the
number of A/D readings over which an average is calculated. Set-
ting DFILT1 automatically sets DFILT2 and DFILT3 to the same
value unless DFILT2 and DFILT3 are then changed independently to
achieve intermediate values. The lowest value (OFF-OFF-OFF)
provides the quickest response. The higher the number, the heavier
the digital filtering and slower the response time.
Filtering values may be modified via EDP commands in either
SETUP or OPERATING modes.
See Section 7.2 for more complete information on setting digital
filtering. F1 F2 F3

Filter cutout threshold. Selects the threshold, in display divisions,
beyond which the digital filtering will cut out. If a specified number
(see DF SENS) of consecutive readings are outside the specified
threshold around the currently displayed value, the indicator will jump
immediately to the most recent value, ignoring filtering.
“NONE” disables threshold checking.
