About this Manual
DISCONTINUED
This manual is intended for use by service technicians
responsible for installing and servicing the IQ plus
800/810 digital weight indicators. This manual applies
to Version 3.1 software for the IQ plus 800/810
indicators. See Section 10.6 on page 90 for a summary
of software changes included in Version 3.1.
This manual is organized so that you can learn about
the basic installation and standard operations first,
then find more detailed information about specific
optional features in later sections.
The configuration menu charts include parameter
choices for both the standard and optional features.
When configuring the IQ plus 800 or 810, you can
ignore the settings for parameters dealing with options
not installed on your indicator; settings chosen for
non-installed options are ignored.
Warning
Most procedures described in this
manual require work inside the indicator
enclosure. These procedures are to be
performed by qualified service
personnel only.
Authorized distributors and their
employees can view or download this
manual from the Rice Lake Weighing
Systems distributor site at

more information.
.
Warning
The digital output of continuous setpoints using the
TRIP parameter with INBAND or OUTBAND specified
is reversed in this release. Existing setpoints using
these values must be redefined for use with Version
3.1.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode:
•Analog outputs are set off (0 VDC or 0 mA)
•Batching stops automatically
When the indicator is returned to operating mode, the
interrupted batch must be manually restarted.
The BATSTRT digital input no longer requires an
active BATRUN digital input to start and run a
batch sequence. If no digital input is assigned to
BATRUN, batching proceeds as if BATRUN were
always on. See Section 3.2.7 on page 34 for
If you are upgrading to Version 3.1 or are
familiar with prior releases of the IQ plus
800/810 software, please note the
following changes before using the
software:
1.0Introduction
For basic weighing applications, the IQ plus 800 and
IQ plus 810 have more useful standard features than
any other digital indicator currently available. For
more complex weighing applications, the IQ plus 800/
810 series indicators are expandable, programmable,
process controllers with an impressive array of
options.
The economical IQ plus 800 indicator is available in a
compact stainless steel enclosure. It carries all the
features of the standard IQ plus 800/810 indicators,
but its compact enclosure size will not accept all the
expansion options of the larger 810 enclosures.
The IQ plus 810 is available in desktop, stainless steel
batching (SS), and hostile environment batching (HE)
models. The 800 and all 810 models are
NTEP-certified for Class III and Class IIIL at 10,000
divisions. The 800 stainless steel, 810 SS and HE
models are certified for NEMA 4X washdown
applications.

2.1Power Connections
The IQ plus 800/810 can operate from either a 115
VAC or 230 VAC 3-wire power supply line at 50 or 60
Hz. It is further recommended that the 800/810 be
connected to an AC power supply that is on a separate
branch or feeder from other AC equipment that causes
step-load changes and/or other AC line disturbances.
The transformer on the power supply/display board is
pre-wired at the factory for 115 VAC operation. If the
installation requires 230 VAC operation, move the
transformer connector from J5 to J9 on the power
supply/display board. Also, be sure to install the
correct fuse. See Section 10.7 on page 91 for
specifications

2.4Load Cell Wiring
Wire the analog input cable from the load cell or
junction box to the removable connector and plug into
the CPU board at J10 near the A/D module. If your
indicator was purchased after June 1, 1996, the A/D
module is surface mounted to the CPU board.
Note that earlier indicators (with A/D modules
mounted on standoffs) have J10 pin assignments in
reversed order from those shown in Table 2-1.
For a single-channel A/D module, use the upper
plug-in connector for the load cell. If a dual-channel
A/D module is being used, plug the second load cell
cable into the lower connector at J10.
If using 4-wire load cell cable, leave jumpers JP1 and
JP2 on (these jumpers connect pins 3 and 6, 4 and 7, at
terminal J10). For a 6-wire installation using sense
leads, remove the jumpers.
For dual-channel A/D modules, there are jumper pins
on the board near J10. The sense jumpers are labeled
JP1–JP2 for channel one, and JP3–JP4 for channel
two. Leave the jumpers installed for a 4-wire cable,
remove them for a 6-wire installation.
Table 2-1 shows the J10 pin assignments for load cell
connections.

2.5Serial Communications Wiring
DISCONTINUED
Terminal block J7 on the CPU board connects both the
EDP (Electronic Data Processing) port and the printer
port. See Section 3.2.5 on page 30 for information
about configuring the serial ports.
The EDP port supports full-duplex RS-232 or simplex
20 mA current loop communication, with half-duplex
RS-485 and full-duplex 20 mA current loop as
optional features. The printer port can support full
duplex RS-232 and simplex 20 mA transmissions.
(Pin 3 is used as an RS-232 receive in some custom
software versions only.) See Section 9.8 on page 71
for information about serial communications options.
Table 2-2 shows the J7 pin assignments for serial
communications connections.
Biasing resistors R38 and R39 can be used to assure
that the RS-485 loop remains in a
idle. If the indicator is installed at the end of the
RS-485 cable, install a 100Ω termination resistor
across the inputs.
The IQ plus 800/810 RS-485 option requires
installation of a single chip (U24) to provide 2-wire,
half-duplex communications. RS-485
SPACE states are generated or detected when the
following conditions exist:
•
MARK state if 485-A (pin J7-7) is > 200 mV
lower than 485-B (J7-8)
•
SPACE state if 485-A (pin J7-7) is > 200 mV
higher than 485-B (J7-8)
Equipment using the 4-wire RS-485 implementation
can be incorporated into a network of IQ plus 800/810
indicators by tying the transmit (A) and receive (A)

2.6Digital I/O Wiring
The standard unit allows three digital inputs and four
digital outputs. Wire any active digital inputs and
outputs to connector J4 on the CPU board. Table 2-3
shows the digital I/O assignments for the J4
connector.

Table 2-3. J4 Pin Assignments (Digital I/O)
Typically, digital outputs control relays which operate
other equipment. Each output is a normally-open
collector circuit, capable of sinking 250 mA when on
and withstanding +40 VDC when off. All logic levels
are active (on) when a low voltage signal (0 VDC) is
present. The output circuits also include 5V pull-up
resistors to send a 5V TTL or 5V CMOS logic signal
when the outputs are closed (on). Use the SETPNTS
menu to configure the digital outputs.
You can wire as many as three external switches to the
digital inputs. These inputs can be set to duplicate
keyboard functions. When used with the batching
switch, PN 19369, the inputs can be set up to start,
run, pause, and stop batch sequences. As with the
outputs, the inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0
VDC) and can be driven by TTL or 5V logic without
additional hardware. Use the DIG IN menu to
configure the digital inputs (see Section 3.2.7 on
page 34).
NOTE: Indicators manufactured prior to September 1,
1996 do not provide a 5 VDC power supply at J4, pin
10. Two methods may be used to provide 5 VDC
power to this pin:
•Solder an insulated jumper wire from J1, pin
4 to J4, pin 10.
•Use an external power supply to energize J4,
pin 10. PN 16418 is recommended.
Indicators made after September 1, 1996 have 5 VDC
built into J4, pin 10.

2.7.3IQ plus 810 SS and HE Model Wall Mounting
If you are permanently mounting an SS or HE model
to a wall, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requires
that you run the AC power cord in conduit and connect
it to the case with a conduit hub according to standard
construction practices. For portable units, the standard
power cord is sufficient.
Figure 2-12 shows a typical method for mounting the
indicator which maintains its portability. Use the
installation screws to secure four #10 wall anchors.
Then remove the installation screws and attach the
indicator with four threaded eye bolts.

2.7.4IQ plus 800 Panel Mount Kit
DISCONTINUED
Use the following procedure when panel mounting IQ
plus 800 indicators manufactured after September
1997. These indicators use the same cutout
dimensions as that for the older IQ plus 800 models;
the panel mount kit includes a larger bezel and gasket
for secure mounting.
1. Make a 9 13/16 W x 7 5/16 H inch cutout in
the panel.
2. Remove the tilt stand from the indicator
enclosure.
3. Remove the 14 screws and washers that hold
the backplate to the enclosure body. Note the
location of the larger fillister head screw
above the setup switch access screw.
4. Slowly pull the backplate away from the
enclosure. Disconnect the ribbon cable
extension from the front panel membrane
overlay tail before attempting to completely
remove the backplate and boards from the
enclosure.
5. Remove the 10 nuts and washers that secure
the bezel to the front of the enclosure (see
Figure 2-13).
Bezel
Gasket
6. Remove the standard bezel and gasket from
the front of the indicator and replace with the
larger bezel and gasket from the panel mount
kit. Replace the washers and nuts to secure
the new front bezel.
7. Feed the power, load cell, and
communications cables through the cord grips
on the backplate. Make cable connections as
required.
8. Reassemble the indicator enclosure to the
backplate and boards. Move the indicator
halves together until the ribbon cable
extension can be reconnected to the front
panel membrane overlay tail. Reconnect the
ribbon cable extension then slide the
backplate and boards fully into the enclosure.
9. Place the indicator face-down on the antistatic
mat. Align the holes in the backplate with
those in the enclosure, then reassemble the
washers and screws remov ed in step 3. Use an
alternating pattern when tightening the screws
to prevent distorting the backplate gasket.
10. Feed indicator cables through the panel cutout
from front to rear. Insert the indicator into the
panel from the front and hold in place.
11. From the rear of the panel, use the 1/4-20 x
3/8 pan-head screws and lock washers
provided to attach the panel mount brackets to
the sides of the indicator as shown in Figure
1.
12. Thread the four 10-32 x 1 3/4-inch
round-head machine screws into the panel
mount brackets and tighten until the indicator
is held securely against the panel.

To configure the IQ plus 800/810 indicators, the
indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup
switch is located on the top edge of the
vertically-mounted CPU board, near the middle of the
board. Moving the two-position setup switch toggles
between setup or normal mode. Access to the setup
switch depends on the type of indicator.
NOTE: Entering setup mode erases any pushbutton zero
values.
IQ plus 800
The setup switch is accessed by removing a screw on
the enclosure backplate. Switch position is changed
by inserting the screwdriver into the access hole and
moving the switch left (CONFIGURE) or right
(RUN), as indicated by the label immediately below
the access hole. Figure 3-1 shows a cutaway view of
the setup switch access screw and the setup
switch.

SETUP SWITCH
Figure 3-1. IQ plus 800 Setup Switch Access
NOTE: For IQ plus 800 enclosures manufactured prior to
September 1997, the setup switch is accessed by
removing four screws that secure the setup switch cover
to the top of the enclosure.
IQ plus 810
The setup switch (SW1) is accessed by separating the
enclosure halves. See Figure 2-5 on page 8 for switch
location.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word
CONFIG is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu
is the first of the main menus used to configure the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete,
move the setup switch to the run position and replace
the setup switch access screw or reassemble the
enclosure, as required.
3.1Configuration Methods
The IQ plus 800/810 indicators 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 6.0 or the Revolution
configuration utility.
3.1.1Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the
preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 800/810
indicators. 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.
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
Windows 95. Minimum system requirements
are 4MB 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 3-2 on page 14 shows an example of one of the
Revolution configuration displays.

The IQ plus 800/810 indicators can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front
panel when the indicator is in setup mode. Table 3-1 provides a summary of the configuration functions provided
by each of these menus.
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.
3.1.2EDP Command Configuration
The EDP command set can be used to configure the
IQ plus 800/810 indicators 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 6.0 for more information about
using the EDP command set.

3.2Menu Structures and Parameter Descriptions
The following sections provide graphic
representations of the IQ plus 800/810 menu
structures (Figures 3-4 through 3-15). 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. Settings 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.
Specifies the analog input channel being configured. See level 3 submenus for
configuration choices.
Power up mode. In GO mode, the scale goes into operation immediately after a brief
power up display test. In DELAY mode, the scale performs a power up display test, then
warms up (WARM UP and standstill symbol displayed). Indicator becomes operational
when no motion is detected for 30 seconds. DELAY mode is used where local regulations
require a warm-up period.
200 ID/Tare Truck In/Truck Out mode. Specifies one of six truck modes. If selected, the
indicator shifts from normal weighing mode to the selected truck mode. See Section 5.3
on page 41 for more information about truck modes.
MODE 1: Auto clear ID, keyed tares, value swapping
MODE 2: Auto clear ID, no keyed tares, value swapping
MODE 3: Stored ID, keyed tares, value swapping
MODE 4: Stored ID, no keyed tares, value swapping
MODE 5: Stored ID, keyed tares, no value swapping
MODE 6: Stored ID, no keyed tares, no value swapping
Peak hold function. Optional feature used to hold display of the highest net weight
achieved during a weighing cycle.
If the peak hold function is enabled, PK HOLD is set on for all channels. The TOTAL
channel peak value is independent of the individual channels; it does not represent the
sum of the channel peak values. See Section 10 for more information about the peak hold
function.
Tare function. Enables or disables push-button and keyed tares. Possible values are:
BOTH: Both push-button and keyed tares are enabled
NO TARE: No tare allowed (gross mode only)
PB TARE: Push-button tares enabled
KEYED: Keyed tares enabled
Legal/industrial mode. Controls whether scale switches to gross or net display when a
tare of zero is entered in gross mode. If LEGAL is selected, scale r eturns to gross mode; if
INDUST is selected, scale switches to net display.
Consecutive numbering. Specifies starting value for sequential numbering used to count
batch sequences or serialize ticket numbers. The consecutive number can be printed on
any print ticket; value is incremented after it is printed. If consecutive number is not
printed, it is effectively disabled. The CONSECNUM EDP command allows you to view or
change consecutive numbers.
Password. Optional feature supports two passwords: one for configuration menus in
setup mode (CFG PWD), one for setpoint configuration using supervisor switch and
SETPOINT key (SP PWD). Passwords can be entered only if feature is enabled (see
FEATURE parameter).
Enter up to seven digits for each password. See Section 9.4 on page 67 for more
information.

To calculate GRADS, use the formula, GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions.
Display divisions for primary and secondary units are specified on the FORMAT menu.
Zero track band. Automatically zeroes the scale when within the range specified, as long
as the input is within the ZRANGE and scale is at standstill. Selections are ± display
divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Zero range. Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.9% selection is
± 1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be in
standstill and in gross weight display mode to zero the scale. Use 1.9% for legal-for-trade
applications
When the ZERO key is pressed while displaying the total channel, the amount on each
individual channel is zeroed off, if possible. If the ZERO is not possible on all channels,
then the ZERO is denied.
Motion band. Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected by
comparing the current display with the previous display. If motion is not detected for 1
second or more, the standstill symbol lights, enabling the scale to process a PRINT
command. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
If OFF is selected, ZTRKBAND must also be set to OFF. TOTAL channel is considered at
standstill when all individual channels are out of motion.
Overload. Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error
message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
When any individual channel is overloaded, the total channel display is also blanked.

VALUE: Amount of time allowed, in 0.1-second intervals, for the batch sequence to progress
from starting to ending batch step without turning on the digital output.
START: Batch setpoint at which to start timer.
END: Batch setpoint the sequence must reach before the timer expires.
The timer starts when the START setpoint becomes the current batch step. If the timer runs
out before the END setpoint is reached, the digital output will be brought to an active-low.
Allows a digital output to remain active over particular portion of the batch sequence. For
example, you may want to use a digital output to keep a mixer running during bulk and trim fill
cycles.

If PSHPRINT is set to WAITSS and the setpoint is satisfied, the print is done only when
standstill is achieved. Since the PSHACCUM, and PSHTARE are done after the PSHPRINT,
these functions also wait for standstill. Use of this setting eliminates the need for an additional

OFF—The bar graph is turned off and disabled.
TWINKL—The TWINKL mode allows visual monitoring of active setpoints by lighting up bar graph
segments for up to 16 setpoints. The 48 bar graph segments are divided into 16 3-segment
sections, with each section assigned to one of the first 16 setpoints (batch steps). SP1 is
assigned the 3 segments on the far left of the graph, SP2 lights the next three segments, and
so on until SP16 lights the three segments on the far right. Both continuous and batch type
setpoints light the bar graph sections, but in different ways.
Continuous setpoints are constantly scanned by the indicator. Bar graph sections for
continuous setpoints are always illuminated in the TWINKL mode.
Batch setpoints are scanned only while active and until tripped; bar graph segments
representing batch setpoints are lit only while the setpoint is active. Once the batch setpoint is
tripped, the bar graph section goes off, and the section representing the next batch setpoint
lights.
DIGOUTS—Digital output mode. Displays the logic state of all digital outputs. The corresponding segments
are lit for active digital outputs, off for inactive digital outputs.
GRAPH—Graph mode monitors increasing or decreasing weight value for a selected setpoint. Setpoint
is selected on the SP REF parameter (see below). The bar graph monitors weight change in a
band established around the setpoint value (see BAND parameter description) with each of the
48 bar graph segments representing approximately 2% of the band value. The graph lights
when the weight is within the band
The bar graph lights from the left as weight increases from the bottom of the band. When the
weight reaches the setpoint value, the graph is totally lit. As the setpoint value is exceeded,
graph segments go off from the left until all segments are off at the top of the band.
GRPHALL—Graph All mode. Similar to the GRAPH mode, GRAPHALL graphs every batch step as it
occurs. Bar graph segments show the progress of each of the batch setpoints of type
GROSSSP, NETSP, %RELSP, +RELSP, or –RELSP. Setpoints are graphed from the current
GROSS or NET value on the source channel.
SP REFSP1 – SP20Setpoint reference. Specifies the setpoint monitored by the bar graph.
BANDnumberSpecifies one-half of the band width around the setpoint value. Total band width is the value of
the setpoint specified on the SP REF parameter ± the BAND value.
For example, if a setpoint value is 1000 and BAND is set to 100, the graph begins to light (left
to right) at 900. It is totally lit at 1000 (setpoint value). Increasing weight beyond 1000 causes
graph segments to go off (left to right) until all segments are off at 1100.
The Version menu is used to check the software version installed in the indicator. There are no parameters
associated with the Version menu: when selected, the indicator displays the installed software version number.

Voltage Calibration (for Units Manufactured Prior to July 1996)
IQ plus 800/810 CPU boards manufactured prior to
July, 1996 had separate A/D converters bolted to
standoffs on their CPU boards. These replaceable A/D
converters were matched to their CPU boards by a set
of voltage calibration numbers. These voltage
calibration values appeared under a separate VOLTS
submenu in the CALIBRT menu.
When replacing an A/D converter on one of these
older units, it is necessary to go into the VOLTS
submenu and replace the existing voltage calibration
numbers with the new ones found on the replacement
converter. This step will match the new A/D converter
to the existing board.

personal computer. See Section 2.5 on page 9 for EDP
port pin assignments; see Section 6.0 on page 45 for
more information about using EDP commands.
Once the indicator is connected to the sending device,
use the KDOWNARROW, KLEFTARROW, and

4.4Adjusting Final Calibration
Calibration may be affected by environmental factors
including wind, vibration, and angular loading. For
example, if the scale is calibrated with 1000 lb, a
strain test may determine that at 2000 lb the
calibration is 3 lb high. In this case, final calibration
can be adjusted by tweaking W VAL to 998.5 lb. This
adjustment provides a linear correction of 1.5 lb per
1000 lb.
To adjust the final calibration, return to the

tare weights in the indicator’s memory. The indicator
can automatically store up to 200 truck IDs and tares;
or it can clear the information after printing a
weigh-out ticket. For example, if the same truck
seldom crosses the scale, it may not be practical to
save its ID number and tare weight. However, if that
same truck crosses the scale many times each day, it’s
much more convenient to store the information in the
indicator’s memory, so you can simply recall it when
needed. Stored IDs and tare weights are available in

5.3.2Single-Transaction Tare Weights and IDs
Version 3.1 supports temporary tare weights for
indicators configured to use stored IDs (TARE200

of trucks without adding the truck ID and tare weight
to the indicator database.
To use this function, follow the procedure described
above for modes 3–6, but insert a decimal point in the
ID number. When the transaction is complete, the
truck ID and tare weight are erased from the indicator
database.
5.3.3Multiple Scales
If you use more than one scale with the truck in/out
modes, the indicator can print tickets indicating either
an individual scale’s total or a combined total for all
scales.
For an individual scale total, press

scale exists, the scale number also appears on the
ticket.

SCALE
5.4Individual Scale Setup
The IQ plus 810 offers up to four scale inputs with the
flexibility to define different graduation sizes for all
the individual scales. Many of the parameters defining
the functionality of the channel can be defined
individually for each channel.
Under the CONFIG menu, the following parameters
are available to allow independent settings for each
scale: grads, zero band, zero range, motion band,
overload, and digital filter. Under the FORMAT menu,
display divisions, decimal point location, and units
can be defined for each separate channel for both
primary and secondary units. By setting these
parameters independently, you can configure different
graduation sizes for each channel and the total.
NOTE: If you intend to use different grad sizes for the
individual channels, the total channel could be
meaningless. For example, if scale #1 counts by 50 lb
and scale #2 counts by 1/10 lb, you probably will not
want to view the total. The TOTAL parameter on the
SET ALG menu allows you to disable the total
channel.
5.5Using the TOTAL Channel
The TOTAL parameter allows the indicator to use, or
not use, the summing capability for multiple-channel
setups.
OFFThe total channel is disabled and cannot
be viewed on the indicator. This is the default value,
regardless of the number of channels available.
ENABLEThe total channel is enabled and can be
viewed on the indicator.
TONLYThe total channel is the only channel that
can be viewed on the indicator.
The TONLY setting is useful for customers who are
only interested in the sum of several scales, a truck
scale for example. The OFF setting is for the user who
does not want to view the TOTAL.
Suppose you want to set up the individual channels
with different grad sizes and the total channel has
been enabled. The total channel is calculated by
rounding the individual channels using the total
channel grad size and summing the results. In this
instance the total channel will not equal the sum of the
individual channels as they are displayed. The number
of grads on the total channel is equal to the sum of the
full capacities of the individual scales divided by the
graduation size on the total channel.
If the scales have the following settings:
SCALE#1:
GRADS=2000
DEC PNT=8888880
DSP DIV=5
COUNT BY 50
SCALE#2:
GRADS=10000
DEC PNT=888888.8
DSP DIV=1
COUNT BY .1
TOTAL:
GRADS=11000
DEC PNT=8888888
DSP DIV=5
COUNT BY 1
The number of grads for the total channel is calculated
as follows:
((GRADS#1 x COUNTBY#1) +
(GRADS#2 x COUNTBY#2) / COUNTBY_TOTAL)
Which is:
((2000 x 50) + (10000 x .1))/1 = 11000
NOTE: The number of grads for the total channel is
The total channel display is calculated by rounding
scale #1’s actual data to the nearest pound (2528),
rounding scale #2’s actual data to the nearest pound
(1658), and summing the two.
2528 + 1658 = 4186
TOTAL = 4186
The grad size differs for the individual channels and
the total channel. Therefore, the total grad size
functions like a master unit and is used for all the
channels in calculating the total display weight.
The Rate of Change (ROC) feature is configurable for
each individual channel and for the total channel. With
rate of change enabled, you can press the
key repeatedly to view the ROC for the different
active channels, based on how ROC is defined for
each channel.
DISP ROC
Other total channel settings are as follows:
MOTION BANDWhen all the individual channels
are out of motion the total channel is out of motion.
ZERO BANDZero tracking is done for the
individual channels even when displaying the total
channel. No specific zero track band exists for the
total but the total reflects the zero tracking done on the
individual channels.
ZERO RANGE If ZERO is possible on all channels,
when the
total channel, the amount on each individual channel
is zeroed off. If the ZERO is not possible on all
channels, then the ZERO is denied.
OVERLOADWhen any individual channel is above
OVERLOAD or below UNDERLOAD, the total
channel display is also blanked.
PKHOLDIf the peak hold feature is enabled,
PKHOLD is set globally for all channels. The peak
value for a channel is only being calculated while the
channel is being displayed. The TOTAL channel peak
value is independent of the individual channels and
the TOTAL value does not reflect the sum of the peak
values.
ZERO key is pressed while displaying the

6.0EDP Commands
DISCONTINUED
The IQ plus 800/810 indicators can be controlled by a
personal computer or remote keyboard connected to
the indicator EDP port. Control is provided 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 setpoint and
configuration data, to save that data to an attached
personal computer, or to transfer configuration data
from one indicator to another. This section describes
the EDP command set and procedures for printing,
saving, and transferring data using the EDP port.
6.1The EDP Command Set
The EDP command set can be divided into five
groups: key press commands, reporting commands,
special function commands, parameter setting
commands, and transmit weight data commands. The
following sections list the commands and command
syntax used for each of these groups.
6.1.1Key Press Commands
Key press EDP commands (see Table 6-1) simulate
pressing the keys on the front panel of the indicator.
They can be used in both setup and operating mode.
Several of the commands serve as “pseudo” keys,
providing functions that are not represented by a key
on the front panel.
After the indicator receives a key press command, it
responds with the message OK. The OK response
verifies that the command was received. Note that this
response does not confirm that a requested action was
completed. For example, the indicator will respond
OK even after it disallows a ZERO function.
with
An example of using the EDP commands is as
follows: To enter a 15-pound tare weight using EDP
commands:

BATSTATUS Command
DISCONTINUED
The BATSTATUS command is used to check the current status of various setpoint and batching conditions.
BA TSTATUS returns 14 bytes of status data as described in Table 6-17. BATSTATUS is principally used to
provide status information to a controlling batch program when using the Remote I/O Interface option.
Status information returned in bytes 3–12 is coded as ASCII characters @ (hex 40) through O (hex 4F); only the
low order bits of these characters are significant. Table 6-17 shows the low order bit assignments for bytes 3–12.
Use Table 6-18 on page 52 to interpret the status of the low order bits for a given ASCII character.
Batch Status DataByteValues

Use the table at right to evaluate the ASCII
character output for bytes 3 – 12 and determine
which of the low order bits are set on.
For example, if the Digital Output Status returned in
bytes 8 – 11 is H@@N, the table at right can be
used with the bit assignments described above to
determine that digital outputs 1, 13, 14, and 15 are
active:
• H (byte 8) indicates that bit 3 is on (DIGOUT 1)
• @ in bytes 9 and 10 indicates that DIGOUTs 5
through12 are all off;
• N (byte 11) indicates that bits 3, 2, and 1 are on.
These bits represent DIGOUTs 13–15.

6.2Saving and Transferring Data
The EDP port gives you many options for saving and
transferring configuration data:
•Print configuration and setpoint data
•Save configuration and setpoint data to a
personal computer
•Download configuration data from PC to
indicator
•Transfer configuration data from one
indicator to another
The following sections describe the procedures for
these save and transfer operations.
6.2.1Printing Configuration and Setpoint Data
Configuration and setpoint data can be printed directly
to a printer connected to the EDP port. See Section 2.5
on page 9 for information about serial
communications wiring and EDP port pin
assignments.
When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values
set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the
SERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity
settings configured for the printer. Set the PRNDEST
parameter to EDP.
To print all configuration data, place the indicator in
setup mode and press
configuration parameters, including calibration
values, to the printer as ASCII-formatted text. This
procedure is equivalent to using the DUMPALL EDP
command.
If a supervisor switch is installed, place the indicator
in supervisor mode and press the
all setpoint data. This procedure is equivalent to using
the SPDUMP EDP command.
See Section 9.5 on page 67 for information about the
supervisor switch.
6.2.2Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer
Configuration and setpoint data can be saved to a
personal computer connected to the EDP port. The PC
must be running a communications program such as
PROCOMMPLUS
information about serial communications wiring and
EDP port pin assignments.
When configuring the indicator, ensure that the values
set for the BAUD and BITS parameters on the
SERIAL menu match the baud rate, bits, and parity
settings configured for the serial port on the personal
computer. Set the PRNDEST parameter to EDP.
To save all configuration data, place the indicator in
setup mode and press
configuration parameters, including calibration
values, to the PC as ASCII-formatted text.

supervisor switch.
6.2.3Downloading Configuration Data from PC to
Indicator
Configuration data saved on a PC or floppy disk (see
Section 6.2.2 on page 52) can be downloaded from the
PC to an indicator. This procedure is useful when a
number of indicators with similar configurations are
set up.
NOTE: Always record the calibration values for the
receiving indicator before transferring configuration data.
Calibration data for the receiving indicator is overwritten
during transfer and must be re-entered before using the
indicator.
To download configuration data, connect the PC to the
EDP port as described in Section 6.2.2. Place the
indicator in setup mode and use the PC communications
software to send the saved configuration data to the
indicator. When transfer is complete, re-enter the
calibration values for the receiving indicator.
NOTES:
• When using a PC with a Pentium® processor, specify a
short end-of-line delay value to avoid overflowing the
indicator buffer.
• When downloading configurations that include
changed serial communications settings, edit the data
file to place the serial communications changes at the
end of the file. Communication between the PC and
indicator will be lost once the indicator receives
settings for baud rate (BAUD parameter) or data bits
and parity (BITS parameter) that do not match those
configured for the PC.
PRINT key to save
6.2.4Transferring Configuration Data from One
Configuration data can be transferred from one
indicator to another. Lik e do wnloading from a PC, this
procedure is useful when a number of indicators with
similar configurations are set up.
NOTE: Always record the calibration values for the
receiving indicator before transferring configuration data.
Calibration data for the receiving indicator is overwritten
during transfer and must be re-entered before using the
indicator.
To transfer configuration data, connect the EDP ports
of the indicators as shown below:
Place both indicators in setup mode, then press
on the sending indicator. When transfer is complete,
re-enter calibration values for the receiving indicator.

7.0Print Formatting
DISCONTINUED
The IQ plus 800/810 has a formattable print function
available as a standard feature. This feature allows the
demand print serial output to be customized to meet
the needs of the user.
With this feature, the IQ plus 800/810 can be
configured to print special information such as
company name and address, scale identification
information, etc. This feature also allows the user to
customize the format of the printed weight ticket.
The following is a list of user-definable print tickets
and the name of the corresponding format string:
•Gross demand format (GFMT)
•Net demand format (NFMT)
•Truck weigh-in format (TRWIN)
•Truck weigh-out format (TRWOUT)
•Setpoint push print format (SPFMT)
NOTE: Accumulator print tickets generated from the
front panel or the setpoint push accumulator
(PSHACCM) function cannot be formatted.
The GFMT, NFMT, TRWIN, TRWOUT, and SPFMT
format strings can include text and special commands.
Commands are used to place the weight information
on the ticket. Each of the format strings can be up to
300 characters long. The GFMT and NFMT formats
have separate 300 character buffers to allow the
installer to set up different printouts for the gross
weight and the net weight printouts.
7.1Customizing Print Formats
The following sections describe procedures for
customizing print formats using the EDP port, the
front panel (P FORMT menu), and the Revolution
configuration utility.
7.1.1Using the EDP Port
The formattable print option can modified through the
EDP port. This requires the installer to use a terminal
or PC to enter the new print format into the indicator.
Print formats can include numbers, upper and lower
case letters, punctuation marks, and special control
characters. Commands must be enclosed between <
and > delimiters. Any characters outside of the
delimiters are printed as text on the ticket.
The current printout configuration can be checked or
changed after establishing bidirectional
communications with the IQ plus 800/810. This can
be accomplished with the use of a terminal or PC
running a terminal emulation program. When setting
up to communicate with the IQ plus 800/810, you
must match the baud rate, data bits and parity of both
devices so that they can understand each other.
To view the current setting of a format string, enter the
name of the string (GFMT, NFMT, TRWIN,
TRWOUT, or SPFMT) and press
RETURN). The current string is displayed.
For example, to check the current configuration of the
gross demand printout, you can enter GFMT then
press
ENTER (or RETURN). The IQ plus 800/810
responds by sending the current configuration for the
demand gross printout which will look something like
this:
GFMT=SCALE#<S><NL2>GROSS<G><NL2><TD><NL
>
The actual printout is formatted as shown below:
SCALE #1
GROSS 5021 LB

To change the string—for example to add the ID
number to the printout—reenter the string as in the
following example:
If you have no access to equipment used to communicate through the EDP port or are working at a site where
such equipment cannot be used, you can change print format strings from the front panel of the indicator.
You can access each of the ticket formats in the first level menu PFORMT. Under PFORMT are the submenu
selections for each of the ticket formats: GFMT, NFMT, TRWIN, TR W OUT, and SPFMT. Figure 7-1 shows the
P FORMT menu, including instructions on how to use the front panel keys to edit characters or ASCII values.

7.1.3Using Revolution
The Revolution configuration utility provides a print formatting grid with a tool bar. The grid allows you to
construct the print format without the formatting commands (<NL> and <SP>) required by the front panel or
EDP command methods. Using Revolution, you can type text directly into the grid, the select fields (including
weight, scale number, time, and date) from the tool bar and place them where you want them to appear on the
printed ticket.

unformatted data until the next SU command is received.
Unformatted data omits decimal points, leading and trailing
characters.
Table 7-1. Demand Ticket Print Format Commands
The ID Number feature supports an ID number not
associated with the truck program or weight storage.
To enter an ID, the user enters a number up to seven
digits long and presses the
saved and can be printed on any formattable print
ticket. The ID entered remains unchanged until the
user enters a new ID number. This ID number cannot
be disabled, but if it is not formatted on any of the
print tickets it is ignored.
For example: If you enter 1234567, press
then the
this:
You can print weight data from any active channel.
Time and date can be printed separately or together.
Accumulator values, ID and consecutive numbers can
be added to the ticket. See Section 7.3 on page 58 for
more information.
Example:
This string will produce the following ticket:
where xxxxxxxx is the current gross weight and
aaaaaaa is the current ID number.
You can use the TR WIN and TRWOUT format strings
to customize the truck weigh-in and weight-out
tickets. The strings are handled the same way the
GFMT/NFMT strings are handled, except the list of
commands includes different data. Table 7-2 lists the
commands you can use to configure truck print
tickets.
CommandDescription

7.2.3Setpoint Push Print Ticket
When a setpoint push print is set (PSHRPNT
parameter on the level SETPNTS menu), the gross
and tare values from the source channel of the setpoint
achieved will be sav ed and used on the setpoint tick et.
The ticket is scheduled to be printed immediately, but
the ticket is actually printed a fraction of time later
than the setpoint is satisfied. All data items other than
the source channel gross and tare weights retain their
current values at the time of print (values are not
frozen at the time the setpoint is achieved).
Table 7-3 lists commands you can use to configure
setpoint tickets.
CommandDescription

Commands
ID, consecutive number, and accumulator values can
be reset by specifying the value directly on the print
format string. The format for these commands is:
<ID=n>
<CN=n>
<A=n>
where n is the number that the ID, consecutive
number, or accumulator is reset to. The values are
reset immediately.
NOTE: The consecutive number is incremented only
when the <CN> command is included in the print

BATCHPRBatch processing signal. The digital output associated with this setpoint is activated whenever a batch sequence
is in progress. No value is required for this setpoint.
TIMERTracks the progress of a batch sequence based on a timer.
The timer value, specified in tenths of a second on the Value parameter, determines the length of time allowed
between start and end setpoints. The indicator Start and End parameters are used to specify the start and end
setpoints. If the End setpoint is not reached before the timer expires, the digital output associated with this
setpoint is activated.
CONCURAllows a digital output to remain active over a specified portion of the batch sequence. Two types of Concur
setpoints can be configured:
Type 1: The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active when the Start setpoint becomes the
current batch step and remains active until the End setpoint becomes the current batch step.
Type 2: The digital output associated with this setpoint becomes active when the Start setpoint becomes the
current batch step and remains active until a timer expires.
The indicator Start and End parameters are used to specify start and end setpoints. The timer value is specified
in tenths of a second on the Value parameter.

Continuous setpoints are free-running: the indicator
constantly checks the input channel for the setpoint
value. If the input channel weight reading matches the
setpoint value, the indicator sets the corresponding
digital output on.
Some continuous setpoints do not require a numerical
value. The setpoints COZ, INMOTION, INRANGE,
–GROSS, –NET, and BATCHPR all detect a
particular condition rather than a specific value. For
example, suppose you want to turn on a warning light
whenever the scale is in motion:
1. Enter setup mode and use the right (
or left (SETPOINT) arrow keys to scroll to the
SETPNT menu. Then press time/date (TIME/

Other continuous setpoints, such as GROSSSP, NET
SP, +REL SP, –REL SP, %REL SP, TIMER, and
CONCUR require that you enter a numerical value to
determine the trip point. For example, to enable an
output whenever the gross weight is at least 125
pounds on input channel 2:
1. Enter setup mode and scroll right or left to the
SETPNT menu, then press

8.2Using Batch Setpoints
Batch setpoints are active one at a time, in an ordered
sequence. The IQ plus 800/810 can control up to 20
separate batch processing steps or operations. When a
batch setpoint is active, the corresponding digital
output turns ON for the duration of the setpoint (batch
step). When the next setpoint in the sequence is acti v e,
it turns ON and the previous one turns OFF.
To configure and use batch setpoints, you must
activate the BATCHNG global parameter on the
SETPNTS menu. This parameter defines whether a
batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO
sequences repeat continuously, while MANUAL
sequences require a digital input signal (BATSTRT)
before restarting.

BATCHNG
AUTOOFFMANUAL
Figure 8-2. Setpoint BATCHNG Parameter
When working with batch setpoints, remember that
GROSSSP, NET SP, +REL SP, –REL SP, and %REL
SP can be either continuous or batch setpoints.
In addition to the BATCHNG parameter , each setpoint
has a BATCH parameter (see Figure 8-3) which must
be set on for batch processing. If the setpoint is
defined but BATCH is off, the setpoint operates as a
continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.

8.4.1Defining Setpoint Names
You can define up to ten names, with up to 7
characters each. You can define setpoint names using
either the FORMAT menu (see Figure 8-4, above) or
by using the following EDP command:
SPNAME#x=aaaaaaa
where x is the name number 0, 1, 2, 3,... or 9 and
aaaaaaa is the assigned name.
Uppercase letters are recommended for the setpoint
names because many of the lowercase letters are not
legible on the 14-segment display. Table 8-4 shows
the default names for setpoint names 0 – 9.
Each setpoint includes a NAME parameter used to
associate the setpoint with one of the defined
SPNAME values. NAME is set to a value, 0–9,
representing the SPNAME parameter containing the
name to be used for the setpoint. The NAME
parameter defaults to NONE, meaning that no name is
assigned to the setpoint.
You can assign names to setpoints using either the
SETPNTS menu (see Figure 8-4, above) or by using
the NAME EDP command.
For example, with the following setpoint names

settings for PSHACCM have been added: 1 QUIET, 2
QUIET, 3 QUIET, 4 QUIET, and 0 QUIET. By setting
the PSHACCM setpoint parameter to one of these
settings, the corresponding accumulator will be
updated but the accumulator print ticket will be
suppressed.
For example, if pounds (lb) are the primary unit and
want to view the ROC of gallons of gasoline, you
must know that one gallon of gasoline weighs 6 lbs
See Section 10.4 on page 88 for information about
conversion factors. With DSP DIV and DEC PNT set
the same as PRIMARY, the MULT setting should be
entered as 6. This causes the ROC units to increment
every time the scale changes weight by six pounds.
The TIME parameter is used to set the time
increments. You can choose between seconds or
minutes. The display shows MIN for minutes and SEC
for seconds. In the normal operating mode, you can

9.3Peak Hold Function
DISCONTINUED
The peak hold function is used to determine, display, and print the greatest net weight read during a weighing
cycle. Peak hold tracks only net weight and operates independently of the display. Other analog inputs or gross
weight can be shown during peak hold function cycles; the peak hold value is displayed only in net mode. The
weighing cycle ends when a print command is issued, or when the peak value is manually cleared by pressing the
CLEAR key.

For example, if the indicator is displaying gross
weight, but AUTO peak hold is active, the display
remains in gross mode but the net peak weight is
automatically printed when standstill is achieved at
zero.
The peak hold function is enabled by setting the
following parameters on the CONFIG menu:
•Set the PK HOLD parameter on and choose
the peak hold mode (NORMAL BI-DIR, or
AUTO). See Figure 9-2.
•Set the PEAK parameter (under the

9.7Bar Graph
The Bar Graph is an optional hardware feature that is recommended for all setpoint applications. The Bar Graph
feature can be mounted on the front side of the display board in any of the IQ plus 800/810 models as shown in
Figure 9-5.
Nylon Insulating Washers
Display/Power Supply Board
Figure 9-5. Bar Graph Option Installed on Display Board
The bar graph feature hardware uses 48 LED
segments that can be scaled to represent weight,
speed, or batch step progress. It can be used to
monitor the progress of batch steps in a batching
sequence, with assigned segments lighting when a
particular batch step is active. The bar graph can also
be used as a visual graph to monitor individual
setpoint operations like a filling operation, with
segments progressively lighting as the fill weight
increases until all 48 are lit when the setpoint weight
is achieved.
The bar graph can also be set up around a band, rather
than a single setpoint value. In this case, the segments
begin to light at the bottom of the band value and are
entirely lit at the middle of the band. Then they
progressively extinguish until all are off at the top end
of the band.
Optional and Advanced Features69

more information about configuring this feature.
XXXXXXXBAR GRF
OFFTWNKL
Figure 9-6. Bar Graph Submenu
During a batching operation where the setpoints are
configured as steps in a batching sequence, the bar
graph can be programmed to illuminate the
appropriate three segments in the sequence while a
particular setpoint (batch step) is active. This is the
TWNKL selection mode shown in Figure 9-6.
TWNKL provides a visual indication of which
setpoint is active during a batch process. Continuous
setpoints that are not part of the batch process are
shown as continuously on by the bar graph.
Another use of the bar graph is to monitor the active
weight value of a setpoint during a filling operation.
This gives the operator a visual indication of the level
of completion of a particular setpoint. This is the
GRAPH selection mode. If the band width (BAND) is
set to equal the setpoint value, each of the 48 segments
is equal to approximately 2 percent of the total set
point value. When the ingredient begins to fill, all of
the bar graph segments are off. The segments begin
lighting from left to right as the weight value increases
to meet the setpoint value.
DIGOUTSGRPHALL
GRAPH
SP REF
SP1 – SP20number
Another popular use for the bar graph in GRAPH
mode is as an over/under indicator. In this application
the low level is set at one end of a band width and the
high level is set at the other end. The difference
between the low and high points becomes the “accept”
band. When the weight on the scale is below the
accept band, all segments of the bar graph (except the
last segment on the left) are dark. When the weight
reaches the low level point, the bar graph segments
begin to light from left to right. When the weight is
halfway between the high and low points, all of the
bar graph segments will be lit. As the weight increases
from this point the segments will begin to turn off
from left to right. When the weight exceeds the high
point of the band, all of the segments will be turned
off, except the last one on the right. This segment
remains on to show that the upper range of the band
has been exceeded.
The bar graph can also be configured to display a
particular load cell channel. For example, the weight
value of scale 1 can be displayed digitally, while the
weight value of scale 2 can be displayed graphically
on the bar graph.

9.9IQ plus 810 Expansion Board
The IQ plus 810 expansion board is a separate
hardware board that supports the addition of other
options to the system. The expansion board mounts on
standoffs directly in back of the main board; ribbon
cables connect the expansion board to the main and
display boards. See Figures 9-8 and 9-9 on page 72.
Expansion board PN 35765 provides load cell
connections and A/D conversion for two additional
scale channels (channels 3 and 4). Expansion board
PN 35767 provides a connector for attaching a remote
keyboard to the indicator. Both expansion boards
support an optional analog output module.
NOTE: If the expansion board is mounted in the IQ
plus 810 Desktop model, the unit cannot
accommodate any relay rack options. SS and HE
models will accommodate either one or two 4-channel
racks, or one 16-channel rack, in addition to the
expansion board.
To install the expansion board, disconnect power to
the indicator and open the enclosure. If adding an
analog output module, assemble the analog output to
the expansion board before mounting the expansion
board on the standoffs.
Once the expansion board is installed and cabling
complete, reassemble the enclosure, connect power,
and place the indicator in setup mode. Use the menus
to configure additional channels and analog output, as
required.

Analog Output Calibration
DISCONTINUED
The following calibration procedure requires a
multimeter to measure voltage or current output from
the analog output module.
After the IQ plus 800/810 is configured and calibrated
to the scale, calibrate the analog output. Enter setup
mode and go to the analog output (ALG OUT) menu
(see Figure 9-13). Move down to the ALGOUT1
prompt to calibrate a single analog output module. If
calibrating a second analog output, go to ALGOUT2.
NOTE: The analog output must be calibrated after the
indicator itself has been configured and calibrated.
XXXXXXXALG OUT
ALGOUT1ALGOUT2
ZEROSOURCE

TOT G
Figure 9-13. Analog Output Menu
Next, choose the source that the analog output will
track. The SOURCE parameter allows selection of
gross or net input from channel 1, 2, 3, 4, or the total
channel. For calibration, set the SOURCE input to a
channel gross input to avoid working with tare values.
You can reconfigure the SOURCE input to track a net
value when calibration is complete. After making your
selection, move up one level, then move horizontally
to the ZERO parameter to begin entering coarse zero
and span values.
Entering Coarse Zero and Span Values
The coarse zero and span values give the indicator a
starting point from which to begin calibration. These
values must be entered before final calibration.
Coarse Zero Value: To enter the coarse zero value,
move down from the ZERO prompt. If you are using
0–10 V output, enter 7.5 for the coarse zero value; if
you are using 4–20 mA output, enter 3100. After
entering the appropriate value, press
Coarse Span Value: Next, the coarse span value is
calculated. The calculation is based on the type of
output and the weight value of the full span output.

ENTER.
The following values are used as constants, depending
on the type of output:
•15300 For 0–10 V output
•12400 For 4–20 mA output
To calculate the coarse span value, divide the
appropriate constant value from above by the full span
weight value. For example, to calculate the coarse
span value for a 0–10 V output at 5000 lb, divide
15300 (0–10 volt output constant) by the full scale
output of 5000:
15300/5000 = 3.06
This calculation results in a coarse span value of 3.06.
Enter this value under the SPAN prompt, then press
ENTER.
Final Zero and Span Calibration
To perform final zero and span calibration, the
receiving device must be connected to the indicator.
Use the setup switch to return to normal weighing
mode. Verify that the scale reads zero with no weight
applied and shows the correct span value with the test
weight. When the indicator reads correctly, use the
setup switch to return to setup mode. Remain in setup
mode for the following steps.
NOTE: You may prefer to use a digital multimeter for the
following steps.
Final Zero Calibration: With the scale cleared of
weight, check that the value on the receiving device
reads zero. If the receiving device is showing zero,
continue to the final span calibration. If the receiving
device reads slightly less than zero, enter a slightly
larger coarse zero value for the ZERO parameter. You
may need to make several adjustments before the
receiving device reads zero. If the receiving device
reads slightly above zero, enter a slightly smaller
number for the ZERO parameter, then check the
receiving device again. Continue adjusting the coarse
zero value until the receiving device reads zero.
Final Span Calibration: Put the calibration test weight
back on the scale, then check the value returned to the
receiving device. Remember that if the test weight is
only 50% of the full span value, the analog output
should be adjusted to only 50% of its span value. If
the value is not correct, adjust the SPAN parameter by
entering a slightly smaller or larger value as described
for final zero calibration.
When final span calibration is complete, verify the
zero and span output readings at the receiving device.
When done, return the indicator to normal weighing
mode. Calibration is now complete.

9.12Multiple Scale Inputs
DISCONTINUED
The standard IQ plus 800/810 has a single analog
input channel. The 800 can be expanded to 2 channels,
and the 810 to 2, 3, or 4. This feature is represented by
the CHANS submenu, under the SET ALG menu. The
parameter settings (or channel selections enabling
multiple channel inputs) are accessible from the
CHANS submenu (see Figure 9-22 on page 82).
The channels can be selected and processed
individually or as a total by pressing the
The red annunciators for the appropriate scales light to
indicate the active source channels. A separate option
allows channel 1 to be selected as a high-speed
channel, weighing at 100 updates per second. The
indicator power supply will support up to 32 700Ω
load cells or 16 350Ω load cells, all on one channel or
split between multiple channels.
Notice that only the specified channels are operational
with the various multichannel setups. For example,
channel 2 is not operational with the 1, 3 channel or
the 1, 3, 4 channel setup.
The most common use of multiple channel weight
indicators is in axle weighing truck scales. In this
application two, three, or four truck scales are placed
end to end. In a three-scale system, the front scale
weighs the front axle of the truck. The second scale
weighs the drive axles of the truck, and the third
weighs the trailer axles. The IQ plus 810 indicator
could display each axle weight individually or display
the sum of all scales.
It is also possible to do multiple “loss in weight” steps
or filling applications using one indicator. There are
20 setpoints available on the IQ plus 800/810. Each
setpoint step can be assigned to any one of the load
cell input channels. The only restrictions are that the
application not require high-speed display updates and
that the weights in each tank not be simultaneously
displayed. It is possible, however, to monitor two
tanks at once—one channel can be watched on the bar
graph, while monitoring the other channel on the
digital display.
It is important to note that channels are processing
information, whether or not those channels are
displayed to the operator. Setpoint functions in Net
mode on channel 2, for example, can run
automatically even though the display may be
showing gross weight on channel 1.
Each channel has its own individual setup parameter
for graduations, display divisions, decimal point
location, and units.
SCALE # key.
The hardware choices necessary to add multiple
channels allow several possible combinations of
multiple channels. Either a single or a dual-channel
input module can be mounted on the main board and a
dual-channel module on the expansion board. Both
modules plug into female connectors already installed
on the boards. The only external difference between
the single-channel and dual-channel module is the
activation of the second terminal strip for wiring the
second scale). The second-channel sense jumpers
(JP3, JP4) only appear on the dual-channel modules.
NOTE: Consult factory when upgrading to 3- or
4-channel capability. An alternative load cell connector is
required to install the expansion board in the 810SS
enclosure, and may be desirable in the other IQ plus 810
models.
The software choices under the SET ALG main menu
allow the following combinations:
•Single-channel module on main board
(CHANS = 1)
•Dual-channel module on main board
(CHANS = 1, 2)
•Single-channel module on main board and

This 3.0" x 4.0" input/output board allows up to four digital outputs to operate 115 VAC or DC service.
Two of the channels have a normally-open contact output. The remaining two output channels are selectable for
either normally-open or normally-closed. Relay outputs K1 and K2 can be selected as normally-open or
normally-closed by placing their jumpers to the NO or NC position.
Relay outputs are rated at 3 amps at 115 VAC and 0.5 amps at 50 VDC. The output contact is fused with a 4 amp
fuse. Up to three AC inputs from equipment in the field can also be wired to the board to feed into the indicator’s
TTL-level digital inputs. Inputs are normally-open in a +5 VDC logic-high off condition. When AC voltage is
present, the outputs go to an on logic-low state.

9.14Setpoint Digital Output Expander
DISCONTINUED
There are four standard digital outputs on the main
board designed primarily to be switch-closure outputs
for controlling relays. The setpoint expander board
adds 12 additional digital output terminals, bringing
the total to 16. Like the original digital outputs, each
of these is an open-collector circuit capable of sinking
250 mA when on and withstanding +40 VDC when
off. In addition, resistor pull-ups to +5V are provided,
making the outputs capable of driving TTL or 5V
CMOS logic directly, without the need for any
additional circuitry. The logic levels are active-low.
For example, a TTL low level indicates the output is
on, and a high level indicates the output is off.
The setpoint digital output expander board mounts on
standoffs on the component side of the main board
(see Figure 9-16). An 8-pin male terminal (J5 on the
main board), plugs into a socket on the setpoint
expander board as it is being mounted on the
standoffs. With the HE or SS models, it is necessary to
temporarily remove the main board from its mounted
position to gain enough clearance to install the
setpoint expander board. The main board can then be
reattached in its original position. With the desktop
model, the setpoint digital output expander can be
mounted with the main board in place.
NOTE: When assigning setpoints to the digital output
terminals, remember that digital outputs 1–4 remain
on the J4 terminal of the main board, and 5–16 are on
the J1 terminal of the setpoint expander board.

9.15IQ plus 810 4- and 16-Channel Relay Racks
DISCONTINUED
Relay racks can be mounted on standoffs or bolted to
the main mounting panel on IQ plus 810 models to
allow 5 VDC indicator signals to operate AC or DC
working voltages. This allows the indicator to control
(or receive input from) peripheral equipment
operating at various voltages.
Individually fused input and output relays are
designed to plug into either the 4-channel rack or the
16-channel rack. The AC output relays are rated at 3 A
working voltage, with a 4A fuse. Both input and
output relays are available in either AC or DC voltage
configuration. Each rack has a fuse tester for
troubleshooting and one spare fuse.
A single 4-channel rack can be mounted in any of the
IQ plus 810 models:
•On the SS and HE models, the relay board is
mounted in pre-drilled holes in the panel
holding the main CPU board (see
Figure 9-17). For an 8-channel system, two
4-channel racks can be mounted side by side
in the SS or HE models as shown in
Figure 9-17.

SS and HE models. The desktop model will not
accommodate the 16-channel rack.
Wiring connections vary according to particular
combinations of input and output relays chosen for the
application. Sample wiring diagrams in Figures 9-19

9.16Jetpak™ High Speed Option
DISCONTINUED
The Jetpak version of the IQ plus 800/810 features an
update rate of 100 updates per second. This option can
be added after purchase to modify an existing unit, but
it is best that it be initially ordered as a high-speed
unit. The necessary hardware—a dedicated,
single-channel 100 Hz A/D converter—should be
installed at the factory. High-speed Jetpak units are
identified by a special label on the A/D converter, and
the letter “X” in the model number tag.

Figure 9-22. Channels Submenu: Select 1 FAST for JetPak Option
The Jetpak version of the IQ plus 800/810 is a
dedicated single-channel, high-speed indicator. As
such, the high-speed A/D precludes the use of
multiple input channels. When setting up the unit, use
the first level SET ALG menu, then move down to the
submenu CHANS. The only selection available under
the CHANS parameter is 1 FAST. Any other menu
selections involving multiple channel choices will be
either disabled or limited to single-channel choices.
All other features of the standard IQ plus 800/810
system are compatible with the Jetpak option.
Maximizing Operating Speed
Operating more than two continuously-running
setpoints requires intensive work from the
microprocessor and typically slows the actual update
rate to less than 100 per second. Batch setpoints,
however, do not affect the update rate and can run at
100 updates per second.
1 3
1 3 41 2 3 41 FAST
Operations that depend heavily on serial
communications will not affect the A/D converter rate,
but will slow down the capabilities of the overall
system. The practical limit for serial transmission is
approximately only 50 readings per second, even
though the A/D is updating at 100 per second.
Continuous streaming format, end-of-line delays, and
extensive EDP serial port commands all act to slow
down the overall system performance. Slow baud rate
selections will further reduce the capabilities of the
system. A special high-speed data streaming v ersion is
available. However, several standard options such as
setpoints are not available when high-speed data
streaming is used. Consult the factory for
specifications and limitations.
Inappropriate settings, such as filtering selections that
require long settling times, will also slow down the
overall speed of the weighing system.

DISCONTINUED
Finding the right filter settings takes both patience and
experimentation. The following subsections will help
you understand how filtering works.
10.5.1Analog Filtering
Analog filtering uses electrical components (usually
special capacitors and other “voltage smoothing”
elements) to make the DC voltage from the load cell
to the A/D converter as free of surges and fluctuations
as possible. These capacitors have a tendency toward
smoothing out the major, high-frequency voltage
bumps, while easily tracking the smaller,
low-frequency changes. Analog filtering is generally
more effective than digital filtering in preventing
voltage fluctuations caused by electrical or radio
frequency interference. Voltage fluctuation caused by
such electrical interference usually shows as a regular
rolling up and down of the display.
In Table 10-5, notice that settings for increased
filtering effect that screen out more electrical noise,
also tend to increase settling time, therefore slowing
down the display in achieving standstill. Generally,
use the lowest filtering effect which yields a quiet or
stable display.
Advanced RATTLETRAP® digital filtering
(selections shown with RT after the number in
Figure 10-5) indicate a mode that can be viewed as a
hybrid combination of the best features of analog and
digital filtering. RATTLETRAP® uses a
vibration-dampening algorithm developed in actual
industrial applications with extreme vibration present.
This filtering mode evaluates the frequency of a
repeating vibration, then derives a composite
displayed weight equal to the actual weight on the
scale less the vibration-induced flaws. It is particularly
effective for eliminating repeating vibration or
mechanical interference from nearby machinery. RT
selections eliminate much more mechanical vibration
than standard digital filtering, but usually also
increase settling time over standard digital filtering.
Approximate Settling
ALGFLTR ValueFiltering Effect
NONELow / > 25 Hz64 ms
8 HZMedium / > 8 Hz200 ms
2 HZHigh / > 2 Hz800 ms
Table 10-5. Analog Filter Values
It is generally the best practice to attempt to clear
interference first with just the analog filter so the
signal will be clear entering the A/D converter. When
testing the effect of the analog filter in this manner , set
the digital filter at its lowest setting, 1. If the highest
rate of analog filtering does not stabilize the display,
leave the analog filter on at 8 Hz or 2 Hz, and begin
increasing the digital filter settings.
10.5.2Digital Filtering
Standard digital filtering is basically a software
function. It uses mathematical averaging to try to
eliminate the variant digital readings that the A/D
converter sends periodically because of external
vibration. Digital filtering does not effect the
indicator's measurement rate, but does affect the
settling time. The selections from 1 to 128 reflect the
number of readings averaged per update period. When
a reading is encountered that is outside a
predetermined band, the averaging is overridden, and
the display jumps directly to the new value.
Time
Figure 10-5. Digital Filtering Submenu
Digital filtering is most effectiv e in eliminating effects
of mechanical noise and vibrations when combined
with analog filtering. Mechanical noise usually shows
on the display as a random changing of the
least-significant digit. The trade-off with using a high
number of averages (and therefore a very accurate
reading) is that the settling time increases as the
number of averages increases. So even though the
higher-numbered selections give a more accurate
reading, if speed of display is important use the lowest
selection which gives a stable display.
When using digital filtering, analog filtering is usually
set to high (2 Hz). When testing the effect of the
analog filter, set the digital filter to 1.

10.6Software Revision History
DISCONTINUED
Version 3.1 software for the IQ plus 800/810 is based
on Version 3.0, which is documented in the previous
version of this manual, PN 30262.
The following list summarizes software changes made
for V ersion 3.1.
Front Panel Keys and LEDs
The following changes were made to the front panel
key and LED functions for Version 3.1:
•Lb/Kg LED functions changed to better
reflect actual units displayed.

•
setpoints. Setpoints set off at the front panel
using the SETPOINT and CLEAR keys can
now be set on using the
TARE key function changed to put the
•
indicator in gross mode and clear the tare
when a keyed tare of zero is entered.
•Alphanumeric character entry changed to
simplify character editing. See the description
of the P FORMT menu on for more
information.

New P FORMT menu structure allows editing of print
formats on the first menu level. Extended print format
commands added for print formats using displayed,
alternate, primary, and secondary units.
Consecutive number handling changed to increment
value only when print format includes <CN> format
command.
DA4 and TD4 print formatting commands added to
support printing of four-digit year (Revision 3.13).
EDP Commands
Several new EDP commands were added for Version
3.1 for EDP port control of keyboard lockout, digital
outputs, and batching.
•LOCKON/LOCKOFF commands added
•DON/DOFF commands added
•BATSTART, BATRESET, BATPAUSE, and
BATSTATUS batching control commands
added
