• Four rubber bumpers (“feet”) for the tilt stand, PN 42149.
• 6-position screw terminal (PN 70599) for connector J1; two 7-position screw terminals (PN 42104) for
connectors J4 and J12; two 10-position screw terminals (PN 46420) for connectors J7 and J8.
• One kep nut (PN 14676) for grounding cable shield wires against the back plate.
2.2. Enclosure Disassembly
The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect cables for load cells, communications, digital inputs, digital
outputs, and analog output.
WARNING: The IQ plus 710 has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is
disconnected from the power outlet.
CF 121 4 v 2.1, June 2003
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 710 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 facedown on an antistatic work mat. Remove screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure
body.
3. Loosen cord grips, then route cables through the stainless steel cord grip. Determine cable length required to
reach connector J1. Mark the cable at the inside edge of the cord grip (see Figure 2-1).
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.
CF 121 5 v 2.1, June 2003
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 grip 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).
Wire the load cell cable from the load cell or junction box to connector J1 as shown in Table 2-1.
J1 Pin Function
1 +SIG
2 –SIG
3 +SENSE
4 –SENSE
5 +EXC
6 –EXC
For 6-wire load cell connections, remove jumpers JP1 and JP2.
Table 2-1 J1 Pin Assignment
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.
2. If the +EXC measurements are ¡Ý 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 fullduplex RS-232 communications. Both ports are configured using the SERIAL menu. See Section 3.0 for
configuration 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 configure 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 flat front enclosure; up to four relays can be mounted inside the
sloped front enclosure. Use the SETPTS menu to configure digital outputs. Table 2-3 shows the pin assignments
for connectors J7 and J8.

Mount the analog output module on its standoffs in the location shown in Figure 2-4 on page 6 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 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 2-5 to prevent distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 10 in-lb (1.13 N-m).
Figure 2-5. 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.
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 2-4 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 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:
CF 121 9 v 2.1, June 2003
• 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) 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.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with incorrect type. Dispose of batteries per manufacturer
instruction.
3.0 CONFIGURATION
To configure the IQ plus 710 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 ten 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 710 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 Version 2.5 or later of the Revolutionª configuration utility.
3.1.1. Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 710 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
CF 121 10 v 2.1, June 2003
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 710 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 41 for more information about using the EDP
command set.
3.1.3. Front Panel Configuration
The IQ plus 710 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.
Menu Menu Function
CONFIG Configuration Configure grads, zero tracking, zero range, motion band, overload, A/D sample rate,
tare function, power-up mode, analog and digital filtering parameters.
FORMAT Format Set format of primary and secondary units, decimal format, and display rate
CALIBR Calibration Calibrate indicator. See Section 4.0 for calibration procedures.
SERIAL Serial Configure EDP and printer serial ports.
PROGRM Program Set date and time formats, truck mode, passwords, keyboard locks, regulatory mode,
and initial consecutive number value; enable accumulator; define setpoint and macro
prompts, and program macros.
PFORMT Print Format Set print format used for header, gross, net, truck in/out, setpoint, and EDP format
tickets. See Section 6.0 for more information.
SETPTS Setpoints Configure setpoints and batching mode.

SETUP MODE 5-KEY FUNCTIONS
Figure 3-2. Five-Key Keypad 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 over each of these keys identifies the direction provided by
the key when navigating through the setup menus.
Figure 3-3. Setup Mode Menu Navigation
To select a parameter, press or to scroll left or right until the desired menu group appears on the display, then
press to move down to the submenu or parameter you want. When moving through the menu parameters, the
default or previously selected value appears first on the display. To change a parameter value, scroll left or right to
view the values for that parameter. When the desired value appears on the display, press
to select the value and
move back up one level. To edit numerical values, use the numeric keypad on the indicator front panel.
3.2. Menu Structures and Parameter Descriptions
The following sections provide graphic representations of the IQ plus 710 menu structures. In the actual menu
structure, the settings you choose under each parameter are arranged horizontally. To save page space, menu
choices are shown in vertical columns. The factory default setting appears at the top of each column. Parameters
shown surrounded by a dotted-line box only appear under the special circumstances explained under each box.
Most menu diagrams are accompanied by one or more tables that describe all parameters and parameter values
associated with that menu option. Default parameter values are shown in bold type.

Sample rate. Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital
converter. Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity.
Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical vibration from
the immediate area of the scale.
Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions per update that are averaged to obtain
the displayed reading. A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the
effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator.
Enables Rattletrap digital filtering. RATTLETRAP is most effective at filtering repeating
vibrations caused by mechanical noise from nearby machines but may increase settling
times over standard digital filter selections.
Digital filter cutout sensitivity. Specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall
outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended.
Digital filter cutout threshold. Specifies the filter threshold, in display divisions. When a
specified number of consecutive scale readings (DFSENS parameter) fall outside of this
threshold, digital filtering is suspended. If NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.
Analog filter. Selects the range used for filtering mechanical and electrical noise. 8 Hz
value has a medium filtering effect; 2 Hz has the greatest effect. Normally, the minimum
filter value that allows a stable display should be selected. If digital filtering is also used,
select either 2 Hz or 8 Hz for this parameter.
Power up mode. In GO mode, the indicator goes into operation immediately after a brief
power up display test. In DELAY mode, the indicator performs a power up display test,
then enters a 30-second warm up period. If no motion is detected during the warm up
period, the indicator becomes operational when the warm up period ends; if motion is
detected, the delay timer is reset and the warm up period repeated.
Enables or disables push-button and keyed tares. Possible values are:
BOTH: Both push-button and keyed tares are enabled
NOTARE: No tare allowed (gross mode only)
PBTARE: Push-button tares enabled
KEYED: Keyed tare enabled
