5.0 Data Storage
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:
• Code or ID number
• Tare weight
• Unit weight
• Part number
• Inventory
• Setpoint
A form designed to assist you when entering code number data appears in Section 12.1.
To program a code number and related data, use the following procedure. Only the code number must be
entered; the other information is optional:
1. In weighing mode, press MODE. The PROG lamp in Unit Weight display is lit.
Note:
If the memory lamp is lit, you cannot enter the program mode. Press * to clear the memory.
2. Use keypad to enter a code number (up to 12 digits) and press #. All displays show 0. If Quantity
display shows CLEAr, number is already in memory. Press CLEAR to delete number from memory,
or # to modify.
3. If required, enter a tare weight (up to 5 digits) and press TARE.
4. If required, enter a unit weight (up to 5 digits) and press UNIT WEIGHT. Or place a sample number
of pieces on scale, enter quantity of pieces using keypad, and press PIECES. The scale calculates unit
weight.
5. If required, enter an alternate part number. The alternate part number (the term “alternate” does not
appear on the weight ticket) can be numeric or alphanumeric. For example, if you are associating a
part number with 1/2" bolts, you could have the term 1/2BOLTS appear on the weight ticket. See
SPEC15 bit 0 in the IQ6500 set-up table in Section 6 to control the numeric or alphanumeric option.
To enter a numeric part number, enter up to 12 digits and press -/PART#.
To enter an alphanumeric part number:
a. From program mode, press PART#.
b. Enter a two-digit numeric that represents the first character of your part number. The charac-
ter code list in Appendix 12.2 lists the two-digit numerics and the characters that each repre-
sents.
c. Press +.
d. Repeat steps b and c until your alternate part number is complete.
6. If required, enter inventory quantity, then press NET/GROSS.
7. If setpoints are required for this item:
a. Press +. SEt 1 appears in Quantity display. Key in setpoint value (5 digits). Weights must be
entered exactly as they appear in Weight display. For example; 10.000, not 10.
b. Press +. SEt 2 appears.
c. Key in desired pre-alarm percentage.
d. Press +.
8. Press * to complete programming for this code item. Repeat steps 2 through 8 as required for addi-
tional code numbers.
9. When all code numbers are entered, press MODE to return to weighing mode.
