1.1 Operating Modes
The IQ plus 510 has three modes of operation:
Normal mode
Normal mode is the weighing mode of the
indicator. The indicator shows gross and net
weights as required, using the secondary display
to indicate scale status and the type of weight
value displayed. Once configuration is complete
and a legal seal is affixed to the back of the
indicator, this is the only mode in which the IQ
plus 510 can operate.
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual
require the indicator to be in setup mode,
including configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, remove the large fillister
head screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a
screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole
and press the setup switch once. The indicator
display changes to show the word
CONFIG
.
Test mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic
functions for the IQ plus 510 indicator. Like setup
mode, test mode is entered using the setup switch.
See Section 7.9 on page 51 for more information
about entering and using test mode.

connector J7.
•One kep nut (PN 14676) for grounding cable
shield wires against the backplate.
2.2 Enclosure Disassembly
The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect
cables for load cells, communications, digital inputs,
and analog output.
The IQ plus 510 has no on/off switch.
Before opening the unit, ensure the
power cord is disconnected from the
power outlet.
Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then
place the indicator face-down on an antistatic work
mat. Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the
enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the
enclosure and set it aside.
NOTE:
With the backplate removed, check the battery
to ensure it has not been jarred loose from the battery
holder (B1) in shipping.
2.3 Cable Connections
The IQ plus 510 provides five cord grips for cabling
into the indicator: one for the power cord, three to
accommodate communications, digital I/O, and
analog output cables, and one metal cord grip for the
load cell cable. The three nylon cord grips come with
a plug installed to prevent moisture from entering the
enclosure. Depending on your application, remove the
plug from any cord grip that will be used and install
cables as required.
Except for the power cord and load cell cables, all
cables routed through the cord grips should be
grounded to the ground stud on the indicator
backplate.
2.3.1 Load Cells
To attach cable from a load cell or junction box, use
the following procedure to cable through the metal
cord grip:
1. Disconnect indicator from power source.
2. Place indicator face-down on an antistatic work
mat. Remove screws that hold the backplate to
the enclosure body.
3. Loosen cord grips, then route cables through
cord grips. Determine cable length required to
reach connector J1. Mark the cable at the inside
edge of the cord grip (see Figure 2-1 on page 4).
Caution
Warning

4 IQ plus 510 Installation Manual
Figure 2-1. Mark Length of Cable at Inside of Cord Grip
4. Remove cable from cord grip. Strip insulation
from the marked position to the end of the cable.
5. For cables with braided shielding, cut the shield
at the same location as the insulation, then strip
an additional 15 mm of insulation from the cable
to allow the shield to contact the inside of the
metal cord grip (see Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2. Braided Shield Cabling
For cables with foil-type shielding, strip an
additional 15 mm of insulation from the cable.
Cut the foil shield at a location about 15 mm
inside the enclosure, then fold the foil shield
back on the cable (see Figure 2-3). Ensure silver
(conductive) side of foil is turned outward for
contact with the metal cord grip.
Figure 2-3. Foil Shielded Cabling
6. Cut the shield wire just inside the enclosure (see
Figure 2-3). Shield wire function is provided by
contact with the metal cord grip.
7. Route cables through cord grips so cable shield
contacts cord grip fitting as shown in Figures 2-2
and 2-3. Tighten cord grips.
8. Next, remove connector J1 from the board. The
connector plugs into a header on the board (see
Figure 2-4 on page 5). Wire the load cell cable
from the load cell or junction box to connector
J1 as shown in Table 2-1.
9. If using 6-wire load cell cable (with sense
wires), remove jumpers JP1 and JP2 before
reinstalling connector J1. For 4-wire installation,
leave jumpers JP1 and JP2 on.
10.Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to
secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.
When connections are complete, reinstall connector
J1 onto the header so that it snaps securely into place.
Use two cable ties to secure the load cell cable to the
inside of the enclosure.
Setting the Load Cell Compensation Jumper
The load cell compensation jumper JP5 (near the
transformer on the CPU board; see Figure 2-4) must be
set ON for load cells with unbalanced bridges. The
compensation jumper has the effect of lowering the
positive excitation voltage. Uncompensated unbalanced
load cells can cause instability or calibration errors.
For RL1040 and RL1042 load cells, set the
compensation jumper as follows:
• RL1040 load cells: jumper OFF
• RL1042 load cells: jumper ON
For other load cell types, use the following procedure
to determine the correct jumper position;
1. Disconnect load cell from indicator and use
an ohmmeter to measure the following:
• +EXC to +SIG, +EXC to –SIG
• –EXC to +SIG, –EXC to –SIG
Measured values between the excitation line
and each of the signal lines should be within
2–3
Ω .
2. If the +EXC measurements are
≥ 5% larger than
the –EXC measurements, set the compensation
jumper in the ON position. If the +EXC
measurements are < 5% greater (or are less) than
the –EXC measurements, set the jumper in the
OFF position.

2.3.2 Serial Communications
To attach serial communications cables, remove
connector J4 or J12 from the board. Connector J4
provides connections for the EDP (Electronic Data
Processing) port, printer port, and 20 mA current loop
transmit signals; connector J12 provides RS-485
signals. Table 2-2 shows the pin assignments for
connectors J12 and J4.
Once cables are attached, reconnect J12 or J4 to the
header on the board. Use cable ties to secure serial
cables to the inside of the enclosure.
The EDP port supports RS-232 or RS-485
communications; the printer port provides active 20
mA output and full-duplex RS-232 communications.
Both ports are configured using the SERIAL menu.
See Section 3.0 on page 13 for configuration
information.
2.3.3 Digital Inputs
Digital inputs can be set to provide many indicator
functions, including all keypad functions. Digital
inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0 VDC),
inactive (off) at 5 VDC. Use the DIG IN menu to
configure the digital inputs.
Table 2-3 shows the pin assignments for connector J7.
2.3.4 Analog Output
If the optional analog output module is installed,
attach the output cable to connector J1 on the analog
output board. Table 2-4 lists the analog output pin
assignments.
Use the ALGOUT menu to configure and calibrate the
analog output module when cabling is complete. See
Section 2.4 for information about installing the analog
output module.
2.4 Analog Output Module Installation
To install or replace the analog output module, follow
the steps listed in Section 2.2 on page 3 for opening
the IQ plus 510 enclosure.
Mount the analog output module on its standoffs in
the location shown in Figure 2-4 on page 5 and plug
the module input into connector J5 on the IQ plus 510
board. Connect output cable to the analog output
module as shown in Table 2-4, then reassemble the
enclosure (Section 2.5).

2.5 Enclosure Reassembly
Once cabling is complete, position the backplate over
the enclosure and reinstall the backplate screws. Use
the torque pattern shown in Figure 2-5 to prevent
distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 10
in-lb (1.13 N-m).
Figure 2-5. IQ plus 510 Enclosure Backplate
2.6 Board Removal
If you must remove the IQ plus 510 CPU board, use
the following procedure:
1. Disconnect power to the indicator. Loosen
cord grips and remove backplate as described
in Section 2.2 on page 3.
2. Unplug connectors J1 (load cell cable), J4 and
J12 (serial communications), J7 (digital inputs),
J6 (keypad ribbon cable), and JP4 (setup
switch). If an analog output board is installed,
disconnect the analog output cable. See
Figure 2-4 on page 5 for connector locations.
3. Remove the standoff and three nuts from the
corners of the CPU board.
4. Cut the cable tie that holds the line filter load
wires to the enclosure.
5. Lift the board off of its spacers just far enough to
access the setscrews that secure the line filter
load wires at connector P2. Use a small
screwdriver to loosen the setscrews and
disconnect power to the board.
6. Remove the CPU board from the enclosure.
To replace the CPU board, reverse the above
procedure. Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all
cables inside the indicator enclosure.
2.7 Battery Replacement
The lithium battery on the CPU board maintains the
real-time clock and protects data stored in the system
RAM when the indicator is not connected to AC
power.
System RAM data includes all keyboard locks. This
information is lost if the battery loses power and the
indicator is disconnected from AC power. To prevent
loss of data, do the following:
•Periodically check the battery voltage and
replace when the voltage drops below 3.1 VDC.
The battery should last a minimum of one year.
Therefore, in critical applications, replace the
battery every twelve months.
•Use the Revolution™configuration utility or
EDP commands (see Section 5.2 on page 38) to
store a copy of the indicator configuration on a
PC before attempting battery replacement. If
any data is lost, the indicator configuration can
be restored from the PC.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced
with incorrect type. Dispose of batteries
per manufacturer instruction.

Configuration 13
3.0 Configuration
To configure the IQ plus 510 indicator, the indicator
must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is
accessed by removing the large fillister head screw on
the enclosure backplate. Switch position is changed
by inserting a screwdriver into the access hole and
pressing the switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word
CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu
is the first of nine main menus used to configure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete,
return to the CONFIG menu and press the (ZERO)
key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch
access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The IQ plus 510 indicator can be configured by using
the front panel keys to navigate through a series of
configuration menus or by sending commands or
configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration
using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3.
Configuration using the EDP port can be
accomplished using either the EDP command set
described in Section 5.0 or the Revolution™
configuration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution™Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the
preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 510
indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to
set configuration parameters for the indicator. When
Revolution configuration is complete, configuration
data is downloaded to the indicator.
Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Configuration Display
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading
of indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator,
edited, then downloaded to another.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible
personal computer running Windows®3.11 or
Windows 95/98. Minimum system
requirements are 8MB of extended memory
and at least 5MB of available hard disk space.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins
on the indicator EDP port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the
setup switch to place the indicator in setup
mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution
configuration displays.
Revolution provides online help for each of its
configuration displays. Parameter descriptions
provided in this manual for front panel configuration
can also be used when configuring the indicator using
Revolution: the interface is different, but the
parameters set are the same.
3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration
The EDP command set can be used to configure the
IQ plus 510 indicator using either a personal
computer, terminal, or remote keyboard. Like
Revolution, EDP command configuration sends
commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike
Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any
external device capable of sending ASCII characters
over a serial connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available
using the indicator front panel and provide some
functions not otherwise available. EDP commands can
be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to
configure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter
settings. See Section 5.0 on page 33 for more
information about using the EDP command set.

14 IQ plus 510 Installation Manual
3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration
The IQ plus 510 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel
when the indicator is in setup mode. Table 3-1 summarizes the functions of each of the main menus.
Figure 3-2. Front Panel Key Functions in Setup Mode
Four front panel keys are used as directional keys to navigate through the menus in setup mode (see Figure 3-2).
The UNITS ()and PRINT ()keys scroll left and right (horizontally) on the same menu level; ZERO ()and
GROSS/NET ()move up and down (vertically) to different menu levels. The TARE key ( ) serves as an Enter
key for selecting parameter values within the menus. A label under each of these keys identifies the direction
provided by the key when navigating through the setup menus.
