2.5.1 Sleep Time Function
The IQ6200 includes a “sleep time” function that turns the scale off after a preset number of minutes if the
scale is undisturbed (no keys are pressed and no weight is placed on the platform). This function works with
AC or DC power and helps to prolong battery life when the battery is being used. The default (factory) setting
is five minutes.
To set the sleep time:
1. Press MODE.
2. Use keypad to enter number of minutes, 01 to 99, until scale powers down. Entering “00” causes
continuous operation.
3. Press +.
4. Press MODE. The displays return to weighing mode.
To check sleep time settings:
1. Press MODE.
2. Press +. Weight display shows P-oFF and Quantity display shows XX, with XX being number of
minutes before power-down.
3. Press MODE. The displays return to weighing mode.
2.6 Powering-Up the IQ6500
1. Plug AC power cord into a grounded 115 VAC receptacle.
If a second channel preamp has been installed, be sure that an external platform
or a “dummy plug” is plugged in to the second channel.
2. Press ON/OFF, and allow scale to warm up for 10 minutes. The display momentarily shows revision
number, shows all digits from 0 to 9 in a “count-up” mode, goes blank, shows all 8s, and then enters
regular weighing mode.
Notes:
• If the scale has been connected to power while in the off condition, no warm-up is necessary.
• When the scale is plugged in but not turned on, the Insuff. lamp is lit.
• If the scale displays erratic data, it may be caused by a power transient. Turn the scale off and mo-
mentarily unplug it from the wall outlet. Then restart by plugging the scale back in and pressing ON/
OFF. The scale goes through a display check, and no warm up is needed.
2.7 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:

2. Use keypad to enter date and time in the format mmddyyhhhh, where hhhh is the time in 24-hour

1997 at 9:45 p.m., enter: 0501972145.
3. Press DATE.
4. Press MODE twice to return to weighing mode.
