1 part in 10,000. On an IQ6200, a sample of 10 pieces and a total sample weight of 0.2% of full scale capacity would provide a sample weight resolution of (±) 1 part in 150 and a counting error of ±0.66 or higher. Increasing the total sample weight to 0.5% of full scale capacity would lower the counting error to ±0.26 or higher.
Instructions for assessment of damage and further procedures will then be determined. Repacking If the IQ6200/6500 counting scale must be returned for modification, calibration, or repair, be sure that it is properly packed with sufficient cushioning materials and that it is locked to prevent damage to the load cells (see Section 2.3).
2. While watching level bubble guide on front of scale, level scale using adjustable legs. Powering-Up the IQ6200 The IQ6200 can be operated from an AC adaptor cord or with an optional rechargeable battery pack (DC power) that allows the unit to be completely portable. A fully-charged battery allows approximately 11 hours of continuous operation and then requires approximately 8 hours of recharging.
OFF. The scale goes through a display check, and no warm up is needed. Setting Date and Time on the IQ6500 You can set the date and time that you want to appear on IQ6500 print tickets. The IQ6200 does not use this function. To set the date and time: 1.

Rezero Eliminates weight from the Weight display with no tare in the system and causes it to show ZERO a true 0. The rezero button will not function when the indicator is in motion. Tare Zeroes the weight display by placing a displayed weight into the tare register. The system TARE must be in a standstill condition before a tare can be registered.

3.3.3 Digital Tare Entry 1. Press 0, then TARE to reset any tare. 2. Press REZERO. After resetting, displays show zero. 3. Use keypad to enter number 0.2, then press TARE. For digital tare entry, decimal must be in appro- priate place as they would be displayed in Weight display.
This means that the weight of the sample is insufficient for the scale to make an accurate calculation. An example would be trying to weigh something as light as 10 paper clips on a 50 lb. IQ6200/6500 scale. You can override this message by pressing PIECES a second time without adding additional parts. However, using an insufficient sample may adversely affect scale accuracy.
1. Determine the unit weight by the normal sampling procedure. 2. If the initial sample fits the recompute criteria, then an additional group of parts, usually one to three but up to eight times the initial sample size, may be placed onto the platform. Any number of parts will suffice if the recompute light remains on.
The IQ6200/6500 counting scale accumulates up to 999,999. Programming Setpoints The IQ6200/6500 can utilize setpoints or continuous audible alarm points to alert the operator to a predeter- mined weight or quantity and an intermediate alarm to warn of its approach as weight is placed on the scale.
Setpoint 1 in Example 3 is the under setpoint and sounds intermittently until it reaches the over setpoint (2). Example 3 Setpoint 1 = 500 pieces SPEC16 0100 Setpoint 2 = 400 pieces Intermittent Buzzer Buzzer |<-––––——————> |_______________ To program general setpoints: 1.

Code numbers allow you to store information for the weighing applications you use the most. This eliminates the need to continually re-enter data for weighing applications that are used on a regular basis. You can program up to 100 code numbers on your IQ6200/6500. Each code number can store the following data: •...
Programming Unit Weight for a Code Number in Weighing Mode 1. In weighing mode, key in code number and press #. The displays respond with preprogrammed information. If code number entered has not been programmed into memory, Quantity display shows “not F”.
Delete Items from Memory The following sections contain procedures for deleting items from the memory of your IQ6200/6500. 5.3.1 Deleting a Particular Code 1. Press MODE to enter program mode. 2. Enter code to be deleted. 3. Press #, then press CLEAR.
Setting Configuration Setting configuration allows you to easily modify the functionality of your IQ6200/6500. Use the tables in this section to view the options you can modify. For example, if you wanted the auto recomputation function to work on your IQ6500, you would go to the IQ6500 spec table and find SPEC08. Go across the row and see that bit 1 of SPEC08 controls the recomputation function.
Configuring Display Resolution SPEC04 sets the display resolution for the IQ6200 and IQ6500 scales. The following tables show the display resolutions available for each scale capacity. Units are switchable from lb. to kg. and can be programmed to primarily weigh in lb., kg., g., oz., ozt, or dwt. IQ6500 scales with a capacity of 0.5 to 100 lbs. have both internal and external mounting capabilities, while scales from 250 to 50000 lbs.

IQ6500 Printer Configuration With the RS-232 option installed you can use a ticket, tape, or bar code label printer to record scale activity. The IQ6500 allows you to print from the weighing mode or program mode. You would print from the weigh- ing mode when performing an actual counting operation, while printing from the programming mode is used to check for item memory.
9.3.3 Sample Tickets The following examples show weighing mode and program mode tickets from a TM-300 tape printer. The TM-290II, TM-295, SP-2000 and SP2200 printers all provide the ticket format as the TM-300. JAN. 16, 1995 / 9:00 AM JAN. 16, 1995 / 9:00 AM ID.
Setpoint Outputs Two setpoint outputs are available as open-collector transistor transistor logic (TTL) level outputs for driving relays on the RS-232 option. The outputs are available on the circular connector on the rear of the scale marked “setpoint” and are configured by setting SPEC15 bit 2 and SPEC16 bits 0–3. See Section 6.0 for more information about configuring SPEC codes.
IQ6200 Battery Pack Installation 1. Gently lift and remove platform. 2. Remove four screws at center of platform support. Remove platform support. 3. Remove six screws from top covers (two in keypad section and four in main). 4. Remove two screws from front underside of scale (one in each corner) and remove main cover.
