Operating Modes

The IQ plus 710 has three modes of operation:
Normal mode
Normal mode is the weighing mode of the
indicator. The indicator displays gross, net, or tare
weights as required, using the secondary display
to indicate scale status and the type of weight
value displayed. Once configuration is complete
and a legal seal is affixed to the back of the
indicator, this is the only mode in which the IQ
plus 710 can operate.
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual
require the indicator to be in setup mode,
including configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, remove the large fillister
for
head screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a
™
screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole
and press the setup switch once. The indicator
display changes to show the word
Test mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic
functions for the IQ plus 710 indicator. Like setup
mode, test mode is entered using the setup switch.
See Section 10.8 on page 72 for more information
about entering and using test mode.
