Serial Communications

To attach serial communications cables, connect
communications cables to connector J7 as shown in
Table 2-2. Use cable ties to secure serial cable to the
inside of the enclosure.

Use the SERIAL menu to configure serial
communications. See Section 3.2.4 on page 18 for
configuration information.

2.2.5

Digital Inputs

Digital inputs (connectors J2 and J3) can be used to
perform remote ZERO and UNITS key presses or to
send serial data to a printer (remote PRINT key
function). The inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0
VDC) and can be driven by TTL or 5V logic without
additional hardware. Use the DIG IN menu to configure
the digital inputs. See Section 3.2.5 on page 19 for
information about configuring the digital inputs.

2.3

Enclosure Reassembly

Once cabling is complete, position the backplate over
the enclosure and reinstall the backplate screws. Use
the torque pattern shown in Figure 2-3 to prevent
distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 15
in-lb (1.7 N-m).

Board Removal

If you must remove the IQ plus 210 CPU board, use the
following procedure:

1. Disconnect power to the indicator. Remove

backplate as described in Section

2.1 on

page 3.

2. Remove connections to J5 (load cell cable), J7

(serial communications), J2 and J3 (digital
inputs), J4 and J6 (piezo button inputs), and J1
(setup switch). Remove blue and brown power
input wires at J8. See Figure 2-2 on page 4 for
connector locations.

3. Remove the five nuts from the CPU board, then

lift the board out of the enclosure.

To replace the CPU board, reverse the above procedure.
Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all cables inside
