Certification Information
North America Regulatory Statement
This unit was certified by an agency approved in both Canada and the
United States of America. It has been evaluated according to applicable
North American approved standards for product safety for use in Canada
and the United States.
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003
compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to
ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT
Use of shielded remote I/O cables, with properly grounded shields
and metal connectors, is recommended in order to reduce radio
frequency interference that may emanate from these cables.

1Introducing the IQS-600
Integrated Qualification
System
Main Features
The IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System is a platform designed for
scientific and industrial applications. It is composed of one IQS-605P-HS or
IQS-610P-HS controller unit and up to nine optional IQS-610E-HS expansion
units.
IMPORTANT
The high-speed units bear the “HS” inscription on their front
panels, while the standard IQS-600 units do not.
You can link both high-speed and standard units that you may
already have. However, to benefit from the high-speed feature,
you must chain the units in a specific order: all the high-speed
units first, followed by all the standard units.
When several high-speed units are linked, the high-speed
capability is available for the first three high-speed units only.
High-speed modules only work with high-speed units. For this
reason, ensure that you insert such modules into one of the first
three high-speed units. Otherwise, you will not be able to work
with the modules.
There is no risk of damaging your high-speed modules by
inserting them into a standard unit.
High-speed modules are identified as such in their user
documentation.
Most of the standard modules will work either in high-speed or
standard units.
Use only accessories designed for your unit and approved by
EXFO. For a complete list of accessories available for your unit,
see the technical specification sheet.
Integrated Qualification System1
Introducing the IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System
Main Features
Both controller and expansion units are designed to work with IQS
modules, including the utility module (for which you will find more
information in Using the IQS-9600 Utility Module on page 335). The
controller and expansion units also allow you to work with most IQ
modules if you have previously purchased any. For a complete list of
supported modules, go to the EXFO Web site.
The IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System runs under Microsoft
Windows 8.1 Pro with the IQS Manager software. Your controller unit
features several possibilities, such as trigger and remote control ports,
interlock terminals, as well as standard computer ports.
The IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System supports local control (via the
IQS Manager software) and remote control (through GPIB, RS-232 or
Ethernet TCP/IP—using SCPI commands or the provided LabVIEW
drivers).

configuration provides a live backup of all test data.
RAID 1 dual hard disk drives are installed at the factory. They cannot be
installed in the field. To retrofit your IQS-600 with this option, return your
unit to EXFO.
Windows will notify you of any malfunction with your RAID 1 hard drive.
Should this happen, your data is no longer protected from a single hard
drive failure. Contact EXFO’s Technical Support.

Safety Information
Electrical Safety Information
Electrical Safety Information
This unit uses an international safety standard three-wire power cable. This
cable serves as a ground when connected to an appropriate AC power
outlet.
Note: If you need to ensure that the unit is completely turned off, disconnect the
power cable.
WARNING
Insert the power cable plug into a power outlet with a
protective ground contact. Do not use an extension cord
without a protective conductor.
Before turning on the unit, connect all grounding terminals and
extension cords to a protective ground via a ground socket. Any
interruption of the protective grounding is a potential shock
hazard and may cause personal injury. Whenever the ground
protection is impaired, do not use the unit and secure it against
any accidental operation.
Do not tamper with the protective ground terminal.
Use only the certified power cord that is suitably rated for the
country where the unit is sold.
Replacing detachable MAINS supply cords by inadequately
RATED cords may result of overheating of the cord and create a
risk of fire.
16IQS-600
Safety Information
Electrical Safety Information
The color coding used in the electric cable depends on the cable. New
plugs should meet the local safety requirements and include:
adequate load-carrying capacity
ground connection
cable clamp
WARNING
Use this unit indoors only.
Position the unit so that the air can circulate freely around it.
Do not remove unit covers during operation.
Operation of any electrical instrument around flammable gases
or fumes constitutes a major safety hazard.
To avoid electrical shock, do not operate the unit if any part of
the outer surface (covers, panels, etc.) is damaged.
Only authorized personnel should carry out adjustments,
maintenance or repair of opened units under voltage. A person
qualified in first aid must also be present. Do not replace any
components while the power cable is connected.
Capacitors inside the unit may be charged even if the unit has
been disconnected from its electrical supply.

You can either use your IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System as a
benchtop unit, or you can install your units in a rackmount.
CAUTION
If you are using your Integrated Qualification System as a benchtop
unit, do not turn it on its side. The platforms and modules were not
designed to function in this position and, therefore, would either
be damaged or provide inaccurate measurements.
You can adjust the angle of your IQS-605P-HS controller unit in order to
have a better view of the screen. Use the stand located under the front part
of the unit and pull it down and forward.
Integrated Qualification System21
Getting Started with Your Integrated Qualification System
Installing Your Controller and Expansion Units in a Rackmount
Installing Your Controller and Expansion Units
in a Rackmount
Your controller and expansion units were designed to be installed in
19-inch rackmounts only. They will not fit into 23-inch racks.
Each unit has a side fan and a rear cooling fan. Mount or position your units
so that air can circulate freely around them. When operating the units,
select a location that provides at least:
75 mm (3 in.) of rear clearance
25 mm (1 in.) of side clearance (left and right)
CAUTION
Failure to provide adequate cooling clearance may result in an
excessive internal temperature, thus reducing the reliability of your
units.
Note: There is no need to leave an empty slot between units when you stack
them one on top of the other inside a rackmount.
Install your controller and expansion units into a rackmount kit before
inserting them into a rack.
IMPORTANT
High-speed units bear the “HS” inscription on their front panels,
while the standard units do not.
You can link both high-speed and standard units. However, to
benefit from the high-speed feature, you must chain the units
in a specific order: all the high-speed units first, followed by all
the standard units.
