About this Manual This manual contains operating procedures for the IQ6200, IQ6500, and IQ6500 dual counting scales and provides the user with all the information necessary for set-up and operation. This manual is organized based on the procedures you will likely follow when setting-up and using your counting scale. When information is applicable to all three scales you will see the term “IQ6200/6500”. If information is specific to only one type of scale, a single name “IQ6200” or “IQ6500” appears.
1.1 Scale Resolution Counting scales specify two types of resolution: • Weight (or external) • Counting (or internal) Weight resolution is displayed in increments of the full scale capacity which is divided into weight increments. For example, a 5-lb. scale divided into 10000 weight increments would display weight with 0.0005 lb. incremental elements (10000 divisions x 0.005 lb. = 5.0 lbs.). Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution of the scale.
2.3 Unlocking and Locking Your IQ6200/6500 scale is delivered in a locked position to prevent damage to the load cells during shipment. Use the following procedure to unlock the scale. 1. On underside of scale, use wrench to remove nut (1). 2. Use allen wrench provided with scale to turn bolt (2) in a counterclockwise direction and remove. Two nuts and two bolts must be removed on an IQ6500 dual scale as shown in diagram to right.
2.5.1 Sleep Time Function The IQ6200 includes a “sleep time” function that turns the scale off after a preset number of minutes if the scale is undisturbed (no keys are pressed and no weight is placed on the platform). This function works with AC or DC power and helps to prolong battery life when the battery is being used. The default (factory) setting is five minutes. To set the sleep time: 1. Press MODE. 2. Use keypad to enter number of minutes, 01 to 99, until scale powers down.
3.0 Configuration Sections 3.1 and 3.2 show and describe the keypads and display panels for the IQ6200 and IQ6500 scales. 3.1 IQ6200 Keypad and Display Panel The following figure shows the IQ6200 display panel and keypad.

RE ZERO Rezero Eliminates weight from the Weight display with no tare in the system and causes it to show a true 0. The rezero button will not function when the indicator is in motion. Tare TARE Zeroes the weight display by placing a displayed weight into the tare register. The system must be in a standstill condition before a tare can be registered. The tare register is normally used to store a value such as a container weight. Pieces PIECES Sets the number of sample pieces.
3.1.2 IQ6200 Indicator Lamps Use the following table to identify display indicator lamps that may be illuminated during operation.
PART# + DATE 3.2.2 – / PART# Used to subtract parts from an accumulation operation or view an alternate part number. + / DATE Used to add parts from an accumulation operation or set the date and time in the program mode. IQ6500 Indicator Lamps Use the following table to identify display indicator lamps that may be illuminated during operation.
3.3.3 Digital Tare Entry 1. Press 0, then TARE to reset any tare. 2. Press REZERO. After resetting, displays show zero. 3. Use keypad to enter number 0.2, then press TARE. For digital tare entry, decimal must be in appropriate place as they would be displayed in Weight display. For example, .250 would be entered as “0.250”, not “.250”. The Weight display shows weight entered with a negative sign indicating that it is a tare weight. 3.3.4 Weight, Unit Weight, and Quantity Display 1.
4.0 Operating Instructions This section provides detailed instructions for operating your IQ6200/6500. Basic to all counting procedures is the requirement to establish the average unit weight of the parts to be counted. Typically this is done by taking a representative sample quantity of the parts, determining the total weight of that sample, and then obtaining the average unit weight by computation. The IQ6200/6500 does this all in one step.
1. Determine the unit weight by the normal sampling procedure. 2. If the initial sample fits the recompute criteria, then an additional group of parts, usually one to three but up to eight times the initial sample size, may be placed onto the platform. Any number of parts will suffice if the recompute light remains on. If the light goes out, remove some parts until the light is on again. 3. After placing the additional parts onto the platform, press PIECES.
4.3 Negative Parts Counting This feature counts the parts quantity as you remove them from a bulk container on the platform (see SPEC08). To perform negative parts counting: 1. Place the container (with parts) on the platform 2. Press REZERO. 3. Take a 10-piece sample from the container and press PIECES (or key in the number if other than 10 and then press PIECES). The Quantity display shows a count of 10 (or quantity entered). 4.
Setpoint 1 in Example 3 is the under setpoint and sounds intermittently until it reaches the over setpoint (2). Example 3 SPEC16 0100 Setpoint 1 = 500 pieces Setpoint 2 = 400 pieces 0 Intermittent No Buzzer Buzzer |<-––––——————> |_______________ 400 500 To program general setpoints: 1. Press MODE. The Weight display shows ProG. 2. While holding REZERO, press + key (release REZERO). The Quantity display shows SEt 1. 3. Enter target weight or count.
4.7 Sample and Count 1. Verify desired sample scale is selected (generally scale 1) and all displays are showing 0. If Unit Weight display does not show 0, press 0 and then UNIT WEIGHT. If Weight display does not show 0, press REZERO. 2. Add samples, being sure to enter number of samples if other than 10. 3. Press PIECES and wait for a count to appear. 4. Enter tare weight of container and add a full container of parts. 4.
5.0 Data Storage Code numbers allow you to store information for the weighing applications you use the most. This eliminates the need to continually re-enter data for weighing applications that are used on a regular basis. You can program up to 100 code numbers on your IQ6200/6500. Each code number can store the following data: • • • • • • Code or ID number Tare weight Unit weight Part number Inventory Setpoint A form designed to assist you when entering code number data appears in Section 12.1.
5.1 Programming Unit Weight for a Code Number in Weighing Mode 1. In weighing mode, key in code number and press #. The displays respond with preprogrammed information. If code number entered has not been programmed into memory, Quantity display shows “not F”. If code number is to be entered into memory, press # to enter it, or press CLEAR to clear display. 2. Enter unit weight (if known) with keypad. If unit weight is not known, use sample procedure at beginning of this section. 3. Press UNIT WEIGHT.
5.3 Delete Items from Memory The following sections contain procedures for deleting items from the memory of your IQ6200/6500. 5.3.1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.3.2 Deleting a Particular Code Press MODE to enter program mode.

6.0 Setting Configuration Setting configuration allows you to easily modify the functionality of your IQ6200/6500. Use the tables in this section to view the options you can modify. For example, if you wanted the auto recomputation function to work on your IQ6500, you would go to the IQ6500 spec table and find SPEC08. Go across the row and see that bit 1 of SPEC08 controls the recomputation function. The default configuration for SPEC08 is 1000, which means that the auto recomputation function is off.
6.2 Configuring Display Resolution SPEC04 sets the display resolution for the IQ6200 and IQ6500 scales. The following tables show the display resolutions available for each scale capacity. Units are switchable from lb. to kg. and can be programmed to primarily weigh in lb., kg., g., oz., ozt, or dwt. IQ6500 scales with a capacity of 0.5 to 100 lbs. have both internal and external mounting capabilities, while scales from 250 to 50000 lbs. are external only. 6.2.
