Overview 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, seven-segment LED display, seven LED annunciators, and two piezo switches used to zero the scale and select the displayed units.
Figure 1-1. IQ plus 210 Front Panel LED Annunciators The IQ plus 210 display uses a set of seven LED annunciators to provide additional information about the value being displayed: • annunciator lights to show that the displayed value is negative.
Installation Installation The IQ plus 210 digital weight indicator is designed for easy setup and installation. All models are pre-configured and 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.
Cable Connections The IQ plus 210 provides three cord grips for cabling into the indicator: two 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.
