The IQ plus 2100 digital bench scale consists of an IQ
plus 210 digital weight indicator and an RL2100 bench
scale. The indicator can be mounted to the bench scale
using the 12-inch column or the attachment brack et, or
can be separately mounted on the tilt stand.

The IQ plus 210 is a single-channel digital weight
indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated stainless
steel enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a
large (.8 in, 20 mm), six-digit, se ven-segment LED
display, seven LED annunciators, and tw o piezo
switches used to zero the scale and select the displayed
units. Features include:

• Drives up to four 350

• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections

•Two configurable digital input

• Single serial port supports full duple x, RS-232
communications at up to 9600 bps

load cell is a vailable as an option. A stainless steel
clamshell enclosure is also a vailable for load cell
protection.

1.1 Operating Modes

The IQ plus 210 has two modes of operation:

Normal (weighing) mode

Normal mode is the “production” mode of the
indicator. The indicator displays the gross weight,
and the LED annunciators described on page 2
indicate scale status and the type of weight v alue
displayed. Once configuration is complete and
legal seal is affi ed to the back of the indicator, this
is the only mode in which the IQ plus 210 can
operate.

IQ plus 2100 Installation Manual

2.0 Installation

The IQ plus 2100 digital bench scale is designed for easy
setup and installation. All models are preconfigured an
weight calibrated before shipment, with the load cell
connected to the indicator. For simple, standalone scale
applications, hardware installation consists of attaching
the indicator, mounting assembly, and bench scale, then
leveling the scale.

NOTE: The IQ plus 2100 is weight calibrated before

shipment from the factory, but recalibration at the
installation site is strongly recommended. Calibration by
a certified scale technician is required for Legal-for-Trade
applications.

2.1 Unpacking and Assembly

Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the IQ
plus 2100 to ensure all components are included and
undamaged. The shipping carton should contain the
indicator, the bench scale, the indicator mount (tilt
stand, column, or attachment bracket), this manual, and
a parts kit. If an y parts were damaged in shipment,
notify Rice Lak e Weighing Systems and the shipper
immediately.

The parts kit contains the items listed below:

• Capacity label (PN 42350)

• One grounding clamp (PN 53075), e xternal
tooth lock washer, (PN 15133), and kep nut (PN

14626) for digital input or serial cable shield
grounding against the enclosure.

•Two wing knobs with n ylon washers for
attaching the indicator to the mounting
assembly, four rubber tilt stand feet (for tilt
stand option) or bench scale feet, jam nuts, lock
washers, and cap scre ws (for column and
attachment bracket options). See Section 6.7 on
page 28 for replacement part numbers.

To install, attach the mounting assembly to scale base,
then assemble the indicator to the mounting assembly .
Place the bench scale in the desired location then lift off
the scale platter and locate the b ubble level. Adjust the
corner feet until the scale is le vel and all feet are in
contact with the support surf ace. Tighten the jam nuts
against the scale to lock-in the level adjustment.

Plug power cord into power outlet to begin weighing.

To configure the IQ plus 210 indicator , the indicator
must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is
accessed by remo ving the large fillister head scr w on
the enclosure backplate. Insert a scre wdriver into the
access hole and press the switch to enter setup mode.

When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the w ord

CONFIG

is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is
the first of the main menus used to configure t
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete
press the setup switch ag ain to e xit setup mode, then
replace the setup switch access screw.

3.1 Configuration Methods

The IQ plus 210 indicator can be configured by usin
the front panel b uttons to navigate through a series of
configuration menus or by sending commands or
configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration usin
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 2.3 or later of the Re volution
configuration utilit .

3.1.1 Revolution Configuration

The Revolution configuration utility pr vides the
preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 21
indicator. Revolution runs on a personal computer to set
configuration parameters for the indicator . When
Revolution configuration is complete, configurati
data is downloaded to the indicator.

™

To use Revolution, do the following:

1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible per-

®

sonal computer running Windows

3.11 or
Windows 95. Minimum system requirements
are 8MB of e xtended memory and at least
5MB of available hard disk space.

2. With both indicator and PC po wered 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 Re volution
configuration displays

Revolution provides online help for each of its
configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided
in this manual for front panel configuration can also b
used when configuring the indicator using R volution:
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 I
plus 210 indicator using a personal computer, terminal,
or remote k eyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command
configuration sends commands to the indicator serial
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 pro vide some functions
not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to
simulate pressing front panel b uttons, to configure th
indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See
Section 5.0 on page 22 for more information about
using the EDP command set.

Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Display

Revolution supports both uploading and do wnloading
of indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrie ved from one indicator ,
edited, then downloaded to another.

Graduations. Specifies the number of full scale graduations. The value entered must be in
the range 1–10 000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental
limits on system resolution.

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 configured zero range (ZRANGE parameter). 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 at
standstill to zero the scale. Use 1.9% for legal-for-trade applications.

Motion band. Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If
motion is not detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights. Some
operations, including print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill. Maximum
legal value varies depending on local regulations.

If OFF is selected, ZTRKBN should also be set to OFF.

Digital filtering. 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 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. Values

with the RT suffix provide a raised threshold for filtering larger noise spikes.

5.0 EDP Commands

The IQ plus 210 indicator can be controlled by a
personal computer or remote keyboard connected to the
indicator serial port. Control is pro vided by a set of
EDP commands that can simulate front panel k ey press
functions, display and change setup parameters, and
perform reporting functions. The EDP port provides the
capability to print configuration data or to s ve that data
to an attached personal computer . This section
describes the EDP command set and procedures for
saving and transferring data using the serial port.

5.1 The EDP Command Set

The EDP command set can be divided into fi e groups:
key press commands, reporting commands, the
RESETCONFIGURATION special function
command, parameter setting commands, and transmit
weight data commands.

When the indicator processes an EDP command, it
responds with the message
verifies that the command w as received and has been
executed. If the command is unrecognized or cannot be
executed, the indicator responds with

The following sections list the commands and
command syntax used for each of these groups.

The RESETCONFIGURATION command can be used
to restore all configuration parameters to their de ault
values.

This command is equi valent to using the RESET
function on the DEFLT menu.

NOTE: All load cell calibration settings are lost when the

RESETCONFIGURATION command is run.

5.1.4 Parameter Setting Commands

Parameter setting commands allo w you to display or
change the current value for a particular configuratio
parameter (Tables 5-3 through 5-8).

Current configuration parameter settings can b
displayed in either setup mode or normal mode using
the following syntax:

command<ENTER>

Most parameter values only can be changed in setup
mode. Use the follo wing command syntax when
changing parameter values:

command=value<ENTER>

where value is a number or a parameter v alue. Use no
spaces before or after the equal (=) sign. If you type an
incorrect command or v alue, the display reads

5.2 Saving and Transferring Data

Connecting a personal computer to the IQ plus 210
EDP port allo ws you to sa ve indicator configuratio
data to the PC or to do wnload configuration data fro
the PC to an indicator. The following sections describe
the procedures for these save and transfer operations.

5.2.1 Saving Indicator Data to a Personal Computer

Configuration data can be saved to a personal computer
connected to the EDP port. The PC must be running a

communications program such as PROCOMMPLUS
See Section 2.3.3 on page 5 for information about serial
communications wiring and EDP port pin assignments.

When configuring the indicato , ensure that the v alues
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 PC

To save all configuration data, send the DUM ALL
EDP command to the indicator . The IQ plus 210
responds by sending all configuration parameters to th
PC as ASCII-formatted text.

5.2.2 Downloading Configuration Data from PC to
Indicator

Configuration data saved on a PC or flop y disk can be
downloaded from the PC to an indicator . This
procedure is useful when a number of indicators with
similar configurations are set up or when an indicator i
replaced.

To download configuration data, connect the PC to th
EDP port as described in Section 5.2.1. Place the

®

.

indicator in setup mode and use the PC
communications software to send the sa ved
configuration data to the indicator . When transfer is
complete, calibrate the indicator as described in
Section 4.0 on page 20.

NOTES:

• Calibration settings are included in the
configuration data do wnloaded to the indicator .
If the receiving indicator is a direct replacement
for another IQ plus 210 and the attached scale is
not changed, recalibration is not required.

• When downloading configurations that includ
changed serial communications settings, edit the
data file to place the serial communication
changes at the end of the file. Communicatio
between the PC and indicator will be lost once
the indicator recei ves settings for baud rate
(BAUD parameter) or data bits and parity (BITS
parameter) that do not match those configure
for the PC.

requiring work inside the indicator must be
performed by qualified service personnel only.

• The supply cord serves as the power disconnect for
the IQ plus 2100. The power outlet supplying the
indicator must be installed near the unit and be
easily accessible

Ensure power to the indicator is disconnected, then
remove the scre ws that hold the backplate to the
enclosure body, then lift the backplate a way from the
enclosure and set it aside.

2.2 Cable Connections

The IQ plus 210 pro vides three cord grips for cabling
into the indicator: tw o for the power cord and load cell
cabling, the third for communications and digital input
cables. The free cord grip comes with a plug installed to
prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. If your
application requires serial communication or digital
input cabling, remo ve the plug and install cables as
described in Sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 on page 5.

Before opening the unit, ensure the
power cord is disconnected from the
power outlet.

• Route cables through cord grips and grounding
clamps to determine cable lengths required to
reach cable connectors. Mark cables to remo ve
insulation and shield as described below:

•For cables with foil shielding, strip insulation
and foil from the cable half an inch (15 mm)
past the grounding clamp (see Figure 2-1). Fold
the foil shield back on the cable where the cable
passes through the clamp. Ensure silv er
(conductive) side of foil is turned outw ard for
contact with the grounding clamp.

•For cables with braided shielding, strip cable
insulation and braided shield from a point just
past the grounding clamp. Strip another half

inch (15 mm) of insulation only to expose the

braid where the cable passes through the clamp
(see Figure 2-1).

IMPORTANT! For load cell cables, strip the

•
yellow shield wire 3/4" past the grounding
clamp. Fold wire back and secure between the
cable and clamp. Shield wire function is
provided by contact between the cable shield
and the grounding clamp.

• Route stripped cables through cord grips and
clamps. Ensure shields contact grounding clamps
as shown in Figure 2-1. Tighten grounding clamp
nuts.

• Finish installation using cable mounts and ties to
secure cables inside of indicator enclosure.

2.2.1 Cable Grounding

Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the
cord grips should be grounded ag ainst the indicator
enclosure. Do the following to ground shielded cables:

• Use the lockw ashers, clamps, and k ep nuts
provided in the parts kit to install grounding
clamps on the studs adjacent to the cord grips.
Install grounding clamps only for cord grips that
will be used; do not tighten nuts.

2.2.2 Load Cells

Wire the load cell cable to connector J5 as sho wn in
Table 2-1. If using 6-wire load cell cable (with sense
wires), remove jumpers JP1 and JP2 (see Figure 2-2).
For 4-wire installation, leave jumpers JP1 and JP2 on.

NOTE: All models come with ten feet of color-coded
load cell cable. Do not cut this cable! The load cell is
temperature-compensated for an exact cable length of
ten feet. Cutting the load cell cable voids the load cell
warranty.

When connections are complete, use tw o cable ties to
secure the load cell cable to the inside of the enclosure.

2.2.3 Setting the Load Cell Compensation Jumper

The load cell compensation jumper (abo ve the ZERO

button location on the CPU board; see Figure 2-2) must
be set for the type of load cell connected to the
indicator:

•For load cells with balanced bridges, set the
jumper in the OFF position. Balanced load cells
include the RL1040, RL1250, RL1260, RL1380,
and RL1385.

•For load cells with unbalanced bridges, follow the
procedure below to determine the correct jumper
position. Examples of unbalanced cells include
the RL1042 and RL1010.

To determine the correct jumper position for
unbalanced cells, do the following;

1. Disconnect load cell from indicator.

2. Use an ohmmeter to measure +EXC to +SIG and
+EXC to –SIG. Measured values between the
excitation line and each of the signal lines should
be within 2–3Ω.

3. Next, measure –EXC to +SIG and –EXC to
–SIG. Measured v alues between the e xcitation
line and each of the signal lines should be within
2–3Ω.

4. If the +EXC measurements (step 2) are ≥ 5%
larger than the –EXC measurements (step 3), 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.

Table 6-1. IQ plus 210 Error Messages

6.1.1 Displayed Error Messages

The IQ plus 210 provides a number of front panel error
messages to assist in problem diagnosis. Table 6-1 lists
these messages and their meanings.

6.1.2 Using the XE EDP Command

The XE EDP command can be used to remotely query
the IQ plus 210 for the error conditions sho wn on the
front panel. The XE command returns tw o 5-digit
numbers in the format:

xxxxx yyyyy

where xxxxx contains a decimal representation of an y
existing error conditions as described in Table 6-2.

If more than one error condition e xists, the number
returned is the sum of the v alues representing the error
conditions. For example, if the XE command returns
the number 528, this v alue represents the sum of an
A/D physical error (512) and an A/D calibration
checksum error (16).

The second number returned (

yyyyy) uses the same bit

assignments as shown in Table 6-2 to indicate whether
the test for the error condition w as run. F or example,
the value

yyyyy = 51807 represents the decimal

equivalent of the binary v alue 1100 1110 0111 1111.
Using the bit assignments in T able 6-2, this v alue
indicates all tests were run.

The P EDP command returns the current displayed
weight value to the EDP port. If the indicator is in an
underrange or o verload condition, the weight v alue is
replaced with

6.2.2 Using the ZZ EDP Command

The ZZ EDP command can be used to remotely query
which annunciators are currently displayed on the
indicator front panel. The ZZ command returns the
currently displayed weight and a decimal number
representing the LED annunciators currently lit. The
format of the returned data is:

wwwwww zzz

where wwwwww is the current displayed weight, zzz is the
annunciator status value (see Table 6-3). If more than
one annunciator is lit, the second number returned is the
sum of the values representing the active annunciators.

&&&&&& (overload) or :::::: (underrange).

For example, if the annunciator status value returned on
the ZZ command is 136, the center of zero and lb
annunciators are lit: 136 represents the sum of the
values for the center of zero annunciator (128) and the
lb annunciator (8).
