6.0 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. The default configuration for SPEC08 is 1000,
which means that the auto recomputation function is off. To turn it on, you would change the bit string to
1010.
To enter the configuration mode:
1. Press and hold REZERO and enter 1 4 1. SPEC00 appears in Weight display and configuration of
four bits (for SPEC00) appears in Quantity display. Bit 3 is left-most digit in Quantity display.
2. Use keypad to enter new bit string for spec number. You must enter all four bits starting with bit 3.
3. Enter new bit string into memory by pressing + to advance to next spec code before exiting configu-
ration mode. You can change multiple bit strings before exiting. To go back to previous spec code,
press -. To exit configuration mode press * and then MODE, or press MODE twice.
6.1 Configuring Grads and Decimal Positions
SPEC00 through SPEC03 set the graduations (grads) and number of decimal positions for the IQ6200 and
IQ6500 scales.
SPEC00 sets the number that the scale is to count by—1, 2, 5, or 10. The value 10 is used for applications
using a dummy zero.
SPEC01 sets the number of positions displayed to the right of the decimal point.
SPEC02 and SPEC03 are used to set the grads and decimal positions for scale 2 on the IQ6500.
The values specified must not exceed the weight resolution for the capacity of the scale. The weight resolu-
tion for the scale determines the maximum grads and decimal positions that can be specified. To determine
weight resolution for the scale you are configuring, see the capacity/resolution tables in Section 6.2.
Examples:
1. The weight resolution for an IQ6200 with a capacity of 15 lb. is 0.002.
To make the most precise measurements for this capacity, set SPEC00 to count by 2 (0.002, 0.004,
0.006, and so on; SPEC00=0000) and set SPEC01 to allow three decimal places (0.000 format;
SPEC01=0011).
To set this scale to count by hundredths of a pound, set SPEC00 to 1 (SPEC00=0001) and set
SPEC01 to show two decimal places (0.00 format; SPEC01=0010).
2. The weight resolution for an IQ6200 with a capacity of 60 lb. is .01.
To make the most precise measurements for this capacity, set SPEC00 to count by 1 (.01, .02, .03,
and so on; SPEC00=0001) and set SPEC01 for two decimal places (0.00 format; SPEC01=0010).
3. The weight resolution for an IQ6500 with a capacity of 1.0 lb is 0.0001.
To make the most precise measurements for this capacity, set SPEC00 to count by 1 (0.0001, 0.0002,
0.0003, and so on; SPEC00=0001) and set SPEC01 to allow four decimal places (0.0000 format;
SPEC01=0100).
To set this scale to count by hundredths of a pound, set SPEC00 to 1 (SPEC00=0001) and set
SPEC01 to show two decimal places (0.00 format; SPEC01=0010).
