Introduction The UMC 600IS is a single-channel digital weight indicator designed and approved to operate as an intrinsically safe system in a wide variety of scale and weighing applications. The indicator is housed in a NEMA 4X stainless steel sealed case. The standard unit is equipped with a tilt stand base for tabletop or wall mounting applications.
+SEN to +EXC and –SEN to –EXC. Front Panel Keypad and Annunciators Figure 1-1 shows the UMC 600IS front panel. The UMC 600IS display consist of a six digit, seven-segment display. Table 1-1 lists the front panel keys and their functions.

I/O barrier. The UMC 600IS serial port can be configured to communicate directly to a printer, remote display, or other device using 20 mA communications through the I/O interface barrier (see Figure 2-7). Since the I/O barrier is totally passive (not powered), the receiving device must also provide an active 20 mA current loop interface.
A factory trained technician can replace plug-in IS barrier equipment in the safe area. • It is manditory to return the UMC 600IS to the factory for repair and full testing. • Tampering with the intrinsically safe equipment voids the Factory Mutual approval.

Calibration The UMC 600IS indicator can be calibrated using single slope span calibration or five-point linearization. Zero must be calibrated (see Section 4.1) before either span or linearization calibration can be performed. The analog option is calibrated after the unit is calibrated using option 2. Analog output, (Section 3.3.2) provides settings for zero, span, and trim adjustments.
Five-Point Linear Calibration There are five calibration points (La, Lb, Lc, Ld, and Le) that can be entered sequentially. Calibrations using fewer than five points will linearize the curve up to the last data point. The curve is then extrapolated from the last entry point.
When Parameter 10 in the configuration mode is set to Con (conversion), pressing the lb/kg CONV In normal mode, the UMC 600IS displays gross, tare, toggles the weight display units from lb (calibrated or net weights using the LED annunciators to indicate base units) to kg units (converted units from base scale status and the type of weight value displayed.
