2.5 Powering Up the IQ9500 If the scale has been connected to AC power while in the OFF condition, no warm-up is necessary. The IQ9500 can be operated either from an AC power source or with an optional rechargeable battery pack (DC power). The DC power allows the unit to be completely portable. Instructions for DC operation are contained in Section 2.5.3. NOTE: If the scale displays erratic data, it may be caused by a power transient. Turn the scale off and momentarily unplug it from the wall outlet.
2.5.3 TOP COVER SCREWS To power-up the IQ9500 using the optional battery: 1. Remove AC power cord from bottom of scale. 2. Turn battery switch to ON (located on the bottom left-hand side of the scale base). 3. Press ON/OFF and allow scale to warm up for 10 minutes. The display momentarily shows revision number, shows all digits from 0 to 9 in a count-up mode, goes blank, shows all 8s, and then enters normal weighing mode. 2.5.4 Figure 2-7. Location of Top Cover Screws 6.
2.7 Installing Cable Strain Relief To prevent load cell or peripheral cable damage from bending and twisting, cable strain reliefs are used in the back of the IQ9500 keyboard. Each IQ9500 counting scale comes equipped with these rubber strain reliefs and should be installed on initial scale setup. 1. Remove the three 4 mm x 8 mm panhead screws securing the bracket to the back of the keyboard. 2. Remove rubber strain relief covering the two 14-pin load cell cable ports.
2.9 Load Cell Replacement Load cell replacement requires partial disassembly of the scale base. Sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2 describe the procedure for replacing in single- and dual-platform scales. On a dual-platform scale, there are two load cell cables connected to a common power board. Load cell replacement requires unsoldering and soldering of load cell connections to the power board. 2.9.
15. Replace scale base cover and platform support brackets in the reverse order of disassembly. NOTE: Remove load cell setscrew before putting the scale back into service. 7. Remove two load cell cap screws from load cell bracket (Figure 2-15). Remove load cell bracket. LOAD CELL BRACKET 2.9.2 Dual-Platform Load Cell Replacement NOTE: Prior to replacing load cell, install load cell setscrews as detailed in Section 2.1. 1. Remove both platforms. Disconnect AC power cord from bottom of scale. 2.
3.0 Operator Instructions The following paragraphs contain detailed operator instructions for the IQ9500 counting scale (see Figure 3-1). Included are instructions to enter tare weights, toggle between net and gross weight, enter unit weights, perform inventory accumulation and reduction, and toggle between scales. All operator instructions are conducted with the scale in the weighing or normal mode. 3.
An example of toggling between net weight and gross weight is shown below: 1. Place 0.5 lb weight on the scale and then press TARE once. The WEIGHT display should show 0.000 lb. 2. Place another 0.5 lb weight on the scale. The scale WEIGHT display should now show 0.500 and the NET annunciator should be illuminated. 3. Press NET/GROSS. The WEIGHT display should show 1.000 and the GROSS weight annunciator is illuminated. The UNIT-WEIGHT and the QUANTITY displays go blank. 4. Press NET/GROSS.
2. Enter known tare weight, or place empty container on scale to perform tare function (Section 3.1). 3. Place Container 1 (full of parts) on the scale. 4. Press the + key to store the total in Container 1. The MEMORY annunciator is now illuminated. The WEIGHT display briefly shows totAL and the QUANTITY display shows the total pieces in the first container.* 5. Remove Container 1 and place Container 2 (full of parts) on the scale. 6. Press the + key (total is equal to Container 1 plus Container 2, etc). 7.
4.0 4.1 Programming the Scale Item Code Storage Code numbers allow you to store information for the parts that are counted most frequently. This eliminates the need for re-entering data for each of these parts during part count. Up to 200 item code numbers can be programmed on your IQ9500 counting scale. Section 4.1.1 details the procedure for storing the unit weight, tare weight, quantity, part number, part name, setpoints, and lot number with an item code.
SPEC 7, bits 0,1 Setpoint Type 00 Percent quantity Setpoint Designation Setpoint 1: Quantity The quantity value can be no greater than 999999. Setpoint 2: Percent of Setpoint 1 The percentage value can be no greater than 999%. The value for Setpoint 2 is calculated by multiplying the value for Setpoint 1 by the percentage value entered for Setpoint 2. NOTE: If Setpoint 1 is equal to 999999, then Setpoint 2 must be set less than or equal to 100%.
2. While pressing the REZERO key, enter the sequence as shown in Table 4-2 to delete the specified information. The table shows the prompting that will take place on the weight and quantity displays to ensure that the proper keystrokes have been performed. NOTE: If an error was made entering data and the display is prompting you to clear information that is not to be cleared, press the MODE key and return to Step 1. 3. Press the CLEAR key to delete the information. 4. Press MODE to exit programming mode.
4.3.5 Inventory Operations Related to the Item Code Quantity Value The following procedure is used to add inventory to and remove inventory from an item code memory. Pin Number Setpoint Configuration 1 SP-1 NOTE: Depressing the CODE key while in the normal mode will allow the IN and OUT annunciators to illuminate. If neither annunciators are illuminated, pressing the CODE key once will turn the IN annunciator on.
5.0 Configuration/Dealer Settings This section presents the setup and configuration of the IQ9500 counting scale to be used specifically by distributors and service technicians.

6.0 Calibration The calibration procedure maintains the scale accuracy within specifications and can serve as a performance test procedure. Your IQ9500 scale should be turned on for a minimum of 10 minutes and the platform excercised three to four times before attempting to calibrate. NOTE: Use the SCALE key to select the platform to calibrate. The scale number is displayed on the lower secondary display. For dual-platform scales the calibration procedure described below must be repeated for each scale.
The following steps explain the calibration procedure: 1. Press and hold the REZERO key and enter 8715 on the keypad to enter calibration mode. The QUANTITY displays the raw count. 2. With no weight on scale, press the CODE key to compute zero. The QUANTITY display will show a count of approximately 100000. If the QUANTITY display is not 100,000 ±10,000, use the + or – key to adjust until the display is within range. Another option is to press the CODE key to automatically recompute zero. 3.

There are two type of headers; header with header code and header with title. The header code is sent before the data to indicate the type of the data, while the header with title is sent before the data to indicate the type of the data. This can be used only when RS-232 output is set to counting condition, with header and title. Table 8-12 shows the type of data that can be sent.
8.7 Data Parts identification (ID) code is only sent when an ID code is called during the counting mode. The maximum is 16 characters. If the ID code is less than 16 characters, then the rest of the data will be filled with space (20H). An example for parts code that equals 12 is shown in the diagram below.
When bit 3 (Output Normally Entered Data) is 1, bit 2 (Weight Stable) should be ignored. Table 8-14 shows the printer setup configuration with title descriptors and data lengths.
