The IQ plus 710 display is divided into three areas
(see Figure 1-2):
¥ The primary display consists of seven large,
14-segment digits used to display weight data.
¥ A two-digit annunciator shows the units
associated with the displayed value: lb=pounds,
kg=kilograms, oz=ounces, T=short tons,
t=metric tons, LT=long tons, g=grams,
GN=grains. When the units conÞgured are troy
pounds or troy ounces, the word
troy is shown in
the secondary display area in addition to the lb
or oz annunciator. The units can also be set to
NONE (no units information displayed).
The two-digit annunciator also displays whether the
indicator is in numeric entry (NE) or alpha entry
(AE) mode for some operations.
The 16-digit secondary display is used to display the
weighing mode (Gross/Brutto or Net) and status
indicators, including standstill ( ) and center of
zero ( ).
The symbols shown over the keys in Figure 1-1
(representing up, down, enter, left, right) describe the
key functions assigned in setup mode. In setup mode,

Table 2-1. J1 Pin Assignments

6IQ plus 710 Installation Manual
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 conÞgured using the SERIAL menu.
See Section 3.0 on page 13 for conÞguration
information.
2.3.3 Digital I/O
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
conÞgure the digital inputs.
Digital outputs are typically used to control relays that
drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink,
rather than source, switching current. Each output is a
normally open collector circuit, capable of sinking
250 mA when active. Digital outputs are wired to
switch relays when the digital output is active (low, 0
VDC) with reference to a 5 VDC supply.
Up to eight relays can be mounted inside the ßat front
enclosure; up to four relays can be mounted inside the
sloped front enclosure. Use the SETPTS menu to
conÞgure digital outputs.
Table 2-3 shows the pin assignments for connectors J7
and J8.
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 conÞgure 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 4 for opening
the IQ plus 710 enclosure.
Mount the analog output module on its standoffs in
the location shown in Figure 2-1 on page 5 and plug
the module input into connector J5 on the IQ plus 710
board. Connect the output cable to the analog output
module as shown in Table 2-4, then reassemble the
enclosure (Section 2.5).
See Section 10.8 on page 75 for analog output
calibration procedures.

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 2-2 to prevent
distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 10
in-lb (1.13 N-m).
Figure 2-2. IQ plus 710 Enclosure Backplate
2.6 Board Removal
If you must remove the IQ plus 710 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 4.
2. Unplug connectors J1 (load cell cable), J4 and
J12 (serial communications), J7 and J8
(digital I/O), J6 (keypad ribbon cable), and
JP4 (setup switch). If an analog output board
is installed, disconnect the analog output
cable. See Figure 2-1 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 Þlter load
wires to the enclosure.
5. Lift the board off of its spacers just far enough
to access the setscrews that secure the line
Þlter 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 prompts, truck ID storage,
and 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 RevolutionªconÞguration utility or
EDP commands (see Section 5.2 on page 47)
to store a copy of the indicator conÞguration
on a PC before attempting battery
replacement. If any data is lost, the indicator
conÞguration can be restored from the PC.

Configuration 13
3.0 Configuration
To conÞgure the IQ plus 710 indicator, the indicator
must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is
accessed by removing the large Þllister 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 Þrst of ten main menus used to conÞgure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When conÞguration 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 710 indicator can be conÞgured by using
the front panel keys to navigate through a series of
conÞguration menus or by sending commands or
conÞguration data to the EDP port. ConÞguration
using the menus is described in Section 3.1.3.
ConÞguration using the EDP port can be
accomplished using either the EDP command set
described in Section 5.0 or Version 2.4 or later of the
RevolutionªconÞguration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution conÞguration utility provides the
preferred method for conÞguring the IQ plus 710
indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to
set conÞguration parameters for the indicator. When
Revolution conÞguration is complete, conÞguration
data is downloaded to the indicator.
Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution ConÞguration Display
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading
of indicator conÞguration data. This capability allows
conÞguration 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
conÞguration displays.
Revolution provides online help for each of its
conÞguration displays. Parameter descriptions provided
in this manual for front panel conÞguration can also be
used when conÞguring 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 conÞgure the
IQ plus 710 indicator using either a personal
computer, terminal, or remote keyboard. Like
Revolution, EDP command conÞguration 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
conÞgure the indicator, or to dump lists of parameter
settings. See Section 5.0 on page 40 for more
information about using the EDP command set.

14 IQ plus 710 Installation Manual
3.1.3 Front Panel Configuration
The IQ plus 710 indicator can be conÞgured 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. Five-Key Keypad Functions in Setup Mode
