Powering Up the IQ9500
The IQ9500 can be operated either from an AC power
source or with an optional rechargeable battery pack
(DC power). The DC power allows the unit to be
completely portable. Instructions for DC operation are
contained in Section 2.5.3.
2.5.1
AC Power Source
To power-up the IQ9500 using the AC power cord:
1. Connect female end of AC power cord
(Figure 2-4) under scale base.
Figure 2-4. Location of AC Power Cord Receptacle and
Load Cell Cable
2. Connect load cell cable from scale to Cable
Port 1 in the back of the keyboard
(Figure 2-5).
Figure 2-5. Scale Base Connector Ports
3. Plug the AC power cord into a grounded 115
VAC receptacle.
4. Press
ON/OFF
and allow scale to warm up for
10 minutes. The display momentarily shows
the revision number, shows all digits from 0 to
9 in a count-up mode, goes blank, shows all
8s, and then enters normal weighing mode.
If the scale has been connected to AC power while in
the OFF condition, no warm-up is necessary.
NOTE:
If the scale displays erratic data, it may be caused
by a power transient. Turn the scale off and momentarily
unplug it from the wall outlet. Then restart by plugging the
scale back in and pressing
ON/OFF
key. The scale will go
through a display check; no warm up is needed.
2.5.2
DC Battery Pack Replacement/Installation
An optional DC battery pack is available and may be
purchased from RLWS to ship with the scale or
retrofit in the field.
The battery pack is located in the bottom of the scale
base and partial disassembly is required to install or
replace it. Use the following procedure to install or
replace the battery pack.
To prevent load cell damage,
reinstall setscrews before replacing
battery.
1. Unplug scale from power source.
2. Remove scale platter.
3. Remove the four platform support screws
from the left-hand platform support assembly
(shown in Figure
2-6). Remove the four
screws from the right-hand platform support
assembly.
4. Remove both platform support assemblies
and set aside.
NOTE:
The single-platform scale has four platform
support (spider) screws while the dual-platform scale
has four screws for each of the two platform
supports.
