1.0 Introduction
The IQ plus 2100 digital bench scale consists of an IQ
plus 210 digital weight indicator and an RL2100 bench
scale. The indicator can be mounted to the bench scale
using the 12-inch column or the attachment brack et, or
can be separately mounted on the tilt stand.
The IQ plus 210 is a single-channel digital weight
indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated stainless
steel enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a
large (.8 in, 20 mm), six-digit, se ven-segment LED
display, seven LED annunciators, and tw o piezo
switches used to zero the scale and select the displayed
units. Features include:
• Drives up to four 350
Ω load cells
• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections
•Two configurable digital input
•Single serial port supports full duple x, RS-232
communications at up to 9600 bps
•Available in 115 VAC and 230 VAC versions
The RL2100 bench scale is a vailable in the follo wing
configurations
•5, 10, and 25 lb (2.5, 5, and 10 Kg) capacities with a
10" x 10" (25cm x 25cm) platform
•50 and 100 lb (25 and 50 Kg) capacities with a 12" x
12" (30cm x 30cm) platform
The RL1042 anodized aluminum load cell is standard
in the RL2100 bench scale; the RL1380 stainless steel
load cell is a vailable as an option. A stainless steel
clamshell enclosure is also a vailable for load cell
protection.
1.1 Operating Modes
The IQ plus 210 has two modes of operation:
Normal (weighing) mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the
indicator. The indicator displays the gross weight,
and the LED annunciators described on page 2
indicate scale status and the type of weight v alue
displayed. Once configuration is complete and
legal seal is affi ed to the back of the indicator, this
is the only mode in which the IQ plus 210 can
operate.
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual

2.0 Installation
The IQ plus 2100 digital bench scale is designed for easy
setup and installation. All models are preconfigured an
weight calibrated before shipment, with the load cell
connected to the indicator . For simple, standalone scale
applications, hardware installation consists of attaching
the indicator, mounting assembly, and bench scale, then
leveling the scale.
NOTE: The IQ plus 2100 is weight calibrated before
shipment from the factory, but recalibration at the
installation site is strongly recommended. Calibration by
a certified scale technician is required for Legal-for-Trade
applications.
2.1 Unpacking and Assembly
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the IQ
plus 2100 to ensure all components are included and
undamaged. The shipping carton should contain the
indicator, the bench scale, the indicator mount (tilt
stand, column, or attachment bracket), this manual, and
a parts kit. If an y parts were damaged in shipment,
notify Rice Lak e Weighing Systems and the shipper
immediately.
The parts kit contains the items listed below:
• Capacity label (PN 42350)
•One grounding clamp (PN 53075), e xternal
tooth lock washer, (PN 15133), and kep nut (PN
14626) for digital input or serial cable shield
grounding against the enclosure.
•Two wing knobs with n ylon washers for
attaching the indicator to the mounting
assembly, four rubber tilt stand feet (for tilt
stand option) or bench scale feet, jam nuts, lock
washers, and cap scre ws (for column and
attachment bracket options). See Section 6.7 on
page 28 for replacement part numbers.
To install, attach the mounting assembly to scale base,
then assemble the indicator to the mounting assembly .
Place the bench scale in the desired location then lift off
the scale platter and locate the b ubble level. Adjust the
corner feet until the scale is le vel and all feet are in
contact with the support surf ace. Tighten the jam nuts
against the scale to lock-in the level adjustment.
Plug power cord into power outlet to begin weighing.
The supply cord serves as the power
disconnect for the IQ plus 2100. The
power outlet supplying the indicator
must be installed near the unit and be
easily accessible.
2.2 Factory Setup
The IQ plus 2100 is preconfigured and weigh
calibrated at the factory before shipment. Table 2-1 lists
the default graduations and count-by configuration fo
each scale capacity.
If scale configuration must be changed, see Section 3.0
on page 4 for detailed configuration information. Se

3.0 Configuration
To configure the IQ plus 210 indicator , the indicator
must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is
accessed by removing the large fillister head scr w on
the enclosure backplate. Insert a scre wdriver into the
access hole and press the switch to enter setup mode.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the w ord
CONFIG
is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is
the first of the main menus used to configure t
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete
press the setup switch ag ain to e xit setup mode, then
replace the setup switch access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The IQ plus 210 indicator can be configured by usin
the front panel b uttons to navigate through a series of
configuration menus or by sending commands or
configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration usin
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 Version 2.3 or later of the Re volution
™
configuration utilit .
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility pr vides the
preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 21
indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set
configuration parameters for the indicator . When
Revolution configuration is complete, configurati
data is downloaded to the indicator.
Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Display
Revolution supports both uploading and do wnloading
of indicator configuration data. This capability allo ws
configuration data to be retrie ved from one indicator ,
edited, then downloaded to another.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible per-
sonal computer running Windows
®
3.11 or
Windows 95. Minimum system requirements
are 8MB of e xtended memory and at least
5MB of available hard disk space.
2. With both indicator and PC po wered 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 Re volution
configuration displays
Revolution provides online help for each of its
configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided
in this manual for front panel configuration can also b
used when configuring the indicator using R volution:
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 I
plus 210 indicator using a personal computer, terminal,
or remote k eyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command
configuration sends commands to the indicator serial
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 pro vide some functions
not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to
simulate pressing front panel b uttons, to configure th
indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See
Section 5.0 on page 22 for more information about
using the EDP command set.

for more information about using EDP commands.)
Once the indicator is connected to the sending de vice,
do the following:
1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display
reads CONFIG) and remo ve all weight from
the scale platform. If your test weights require
hooks or chains, place the hooks or chains on
the scale for zero calibration.
2. Send the WZERO EDP command to calibrate
zero. The indicator displays °CAL° while
calibration is in progress.
3. Send the WVAL command to enter the test
weight value in the following format:
WVAL=nnnnnn<CR>
4. Place test weights on scale equal to the
specified WVAL.
5. Send the WSPAN EDP command to calibrate
span. The indicator displays °CAL° while
calibration is in progress.
6. To remove an of fset value, clear all weight
from the scale, including hooks or chains used
to hang test weights, then send the REZER O
EDP command. The indicator displays °CAL°
while the zero and span calibrations are
adjusted.
7. Send the KEXIT EDP command to e xit setup
mode.
4.3 Revolution™Calibration
To calibrate the indicator using Re volution, the
indicator must be in setup mode with the EDP port
connected to a PC running the Revolution configuratio
utility. Use the follo wing procedure to calibrate the
indicator:
1. Select Calibrate Indicator from the Revolution
main menu.
2. On the Weight Calibration display, select the

22 IQ plus 2100 Installation Manual
5.0 EDP Commands
The IQ plus 210 indicator can be controlled by a
personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the
indicator serial port. Control is pro vided by a set of
EDP commands that can simulate front panel key press
functions, display and change setup parameters, and
perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the
capability to print configuration data or to s ve that data
to an attached personal computer . This section
describes the EDP command set and procedures for
saving and transferring data using the serial port.
5.1 The EDP Command Set
The EDP command set can be divided into fi e groups:
key press commands, reporting commands, the
RESETCONFIGURATION special function
command, parameter setting commands, and transmit
weight data commands.
When the indicator processes an EDP command, it
responds with the message OK. The OK response
verifies that the command w as received and has been
executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be
executed, the indicator responds with ??.
The following sections list the commands and
command syntax used for each of these groups.
5.1.1 Key Press Commands
Key press EDP commands (see T able 5-1) simulate
pressing the buttons on the front panel of the indicator.
5.1.2 Reporting Commands
Reporting commands (see T able 5-2) send specifi
information to the EDP port. These commands can be
used in both setup mode and normal mode.
5.1.3 The RESETCONFIGURATION Command
The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used
to restore all configuration parameters to their de ault
values.
This command is equi valent to using the RESET
function on the DEFLT menu.
NOTE: All load cell calibration settings are lost when the
RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.
5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands
Parameter setting commands allo w you to display or
change the current v alue for a particular configuratio
parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-8).
Current configuration parameter settings can b
displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using
the following syntax:
command<ENTER>
Most parameter v alues only can be changed in setup
mode. Use the follo wing command syntax when
changing parameter values:
command=value<ENTER>
where value is a number or a parameter v alue. Use no
spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an
incorrect command or v alue, the display reads ??.
Changes to the parameters are saved as they are entered
but typically do not tak e effect until you e xit setup
mode.
For example, to set the motion band parameter to 5,
type the following:
MOTBAND=5D<ENTER>
