Installation
This section describes the procedure for the
installation and setup of the IQ9500 counting scale.
2.1
Locking and Unlocking
Do not turn scale upside down. Always
work with scale on its side! Damage to
the load cell can occur if the scale is
turned upside down.
The IQ9500 counting scale is delivered in a locked
position to prevent damage to the load cells during
shipment.
To prevent damage to the load cells,
scale must be locked prior to
shipment.
The scale uses either one setscrew for the
single-platform scale or two setscrews for the
dual-platform scale. The setscrews are located on the
bottom of the base and must be removed before the
scale is put into service. Use the following procedure
to unlock your IQ9500 counting scale.
1. Turn scale on side. Loosen locknut 1/4 turn (see
Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1. Location of Load Cell Setscrews for Single- and
Dual-Platform Scales
2. Remove load cell setscrew (see Figure 2-2)
using the 2 millimeter hex wrench provided
with scale.
NOTE:
Keep locknut in the
approximate original position
on the
setscrew to prevent damage to load
cell when reinstalling.

3. Tape setscrews to the bottom of the scale or
store in a safe location for possible future use.

Scale Resolution
Counting scales specify two types of resolution:
•
Weight (or external) resolution
•
Counting (or internal) resolution
Weight resolution is displayed in increments of the
full scale capacity which is divided into weight
increments. For example, a 5-lb scale divided into
10,000 display divisions would display weight with
0.0005 lb divisions (10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0
lb).
Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution
of the scale. The weight and counting resolutions for
the IQ9500 single- and dual-platform capacities are
found in Table 2-1, Table 2-2, and Table 2-3.
