1.0 Introduction
The IQ plus 355 is a single-channel digital weight
indicator housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66-rated stainless
steel enclosure. The indicator front panel consists of a
large (.8 in, 20 mm), six-digit, seven-segment LED
display and five-button keypad. Features include:
• Drives up to eight 350 or sixteen 700 load
cells
• Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections
• Two configurable digital inputs
• Electronic data processing (EDP) port for full
duplex, RS-232 communications at up to
9600 bps
• Printer port for output-only RS-232 and 20
mA current loop communications at up to
9600 bps
• Optional analog output module provides 0–10
VDC or 4–20 mA tracking of gross or net
weight values
• Available in 115 VAC and 230 VAC versions
The IQ plus 355 is NTEP-certified and Measurement
Canada approved for Classes III, III HD, and III L at
10,000 divisions. See Section 7.11 on page 46 for
detailed specifications.
1.1 Operating Modes
The IQ plus 355 has three modes of operation:
Normal (weighing) mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the
indicator. The indicator displays gross or net
weights as required, using the LED annunciators
described in Section 1.3 on page 2 to indicate
scale status and the type of weight value
displayed. Once configuration is complete and a
legal seal is affixed to the back of the indicator,
this is the only mode in which the IQ plus 355 can
operate.
Setup mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual
require the indicator to be in setup mode,
including configuration and calibration.
To enter setup mode, remove the large fillister
head screw from the enclosure backplate. Insert a
screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole
and press the setup switch once. The indicator
display changes to show the word
CONFIG
.
Test mode
Test mode provides a number of diagnostic
functions for the IQ plus 355 indicator. Like setup
mode, test mode is entered using the setup switch.
See Section 7.9 on page 44 for more information
about entering and using test mode.
