Characteristics of the measurement evaluation unit UM-X The measurement evaluation unit UM-X is a stand-alone filling level display for continuous level sensors. It is directly driven from the power supply and serves at the same time as a power supply for the level sensor. The filling level can be presented in both analogue and digital form on the graphic display.
Safety Instructions The measurement evaluation unit UM-X is a stand-alone filling level display for continuous level sensors. Use the system exclusively for this purpose. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any form of damage resulting from improper use. The measurement evaluation unit UM-X has been developed, manufactured and tested in ac- cordance with the state-of-the art technology and the generally accepted safety standards.
Design and Function Name plate The name plate contains e.g. the version of your measurement evaluation unit: Device type UM-S, UM-O, UM-Ex or UM-O Ex • Approvals • Display Window Alarm light Buttons Name plate Figure 1: Design of the measurement evaluation unit UM-X, view from above Buttons With the four buttons you can navigate through the menu structure and configure the meas- urement evaluation unit.
Alarm Light The measurement evaluation unit is equipped with a red LED “Alarm” to display alarms and system faults. The red LED indicates if the alarm thresholds have been exceeded or fallen below or if faults have occurred (see Section 6.15 „Alarms“). Buzzer The buzzer provides acoustic alarm messages.
Installation The installation must be carried out only by expert personnel and in accordance with all applicable safety regulations. This also applies to any local safety and ac- cident prevention regulations which are not stated in this guide. Assembly and Connections The measurement evaluation unit UM-X is designed to be wall-mounted.
Pin Assignment The wiring must be carried out only with the power disconnected. Special local rules and regulations of relevant Professional Associations and Authorities must be observed (e.g. VDE in Germany). Observe the maximum values of the operating parameters that are stated in the Technical Specifications.
4.2.2 Output Circuits The relays K1 to K5 (terminals 3 to 17) serve as limit signal indicators. There are 5 potential- free changeover contacts. Special features of the UM-O and UM-O Ex versions of the device: – Non-acknowledgeable overfill protection relays: Relays K1 (terminals 3,4 and 5) –...

Now switch on the power supply. Set the 4-mA-point (bottom) and the 20-mA-point (top, container height) on the level sensor. Now go to the measurement evaluation unit menu. Select the "Height" item and enter the container height. If the 4-mA-point is not at the height of the tank bottom, then set the correct level in the "Offset"...
Operation The message "Info” appears for 5 seconds on display after switching on the measurement evaluation unit. The display then changes automatically to the filling level display in column form. An overview of the menu structure and the factory-set default values can be found in Section 6.14 „Menu structure with factory setting“.
Column Display (Analogue Display) The column shows the filling level graphically. The scaling is in percent and cannot be changed. The filling level is also displayed digitally (see Figure 4). There are two possible ways of navigating in the column display: Symbol [R] - shows the status of all relays •...
Main Menu The main menu is called up from the "Column display" or "Relay status" display with the but- ton next to the symbol [M]. You may select the following menu items: Unit - Setting the unit • Height - Setting the container height •...
Cursor UP [] and Cursor DOWN [] The cursor is moved through the menus with the functions UP [] or DOWN [] shown on the display. This is how to select the menu items. RETURN [ ] The RETURN symbol [ ] has two functions: "Confirm"...
Unit Menu When the menu "Unit” is called up, the cursor automatically lies on the currently set unit. The following units are available for selection % - Percent mm - Millimetre Inch - Inch (unit specification on the display with <‘’>) mA–...
Height Menu Enter the container height in the "Height" menu. The height can be up to 25000 mm and is set in 1-millimetre steps. The units inches, percent and milliamperes are calculat- ed and displayed for information. Enter with the functions [+] PLUS and [–] MINUS the corresponding value.
Offset Menu (Zero-Point Displacement) The distance from container bottom up to the 4-mA-point of the level sensor is called the “Offset". The distance is set in 1-millimetre steps. The units inches, per- cent and milliamperes are calculated and displayed for infor- mation.
Span menu (measuring range) If you use a sensor for the fill level measurement with a 20-mA- point which does not match the container height (for example pressure sensors), adjust the sensor in the "Span" menu. In this menu you have two options: •...
6.8.2 Span - Reset With the "Reset" option, you can reset changes of the measuring range back to the delivery status. Confirm the "Reset" option with RETURN [ ] Select the symbol [Y] - for "Yes, reset" or [N] - for "No, don't reset“. Figure 12: "Reset"...
Relays Menu In the “Relays” menu you can select the individual relays K1 … K5 for further configuration. Select with the functions UP [] and DOWN [] the desired relay. Confirm your selection with RETURN [ ]. Figure 13: Relays Menu With the device variants UM-O and UM-O Ex (overfill protection devices) you need a password to be able to select the relays K1 and K2.
6.9.2 S-P On (Switching Point On) "S-P On“ (Switching Point On) shows the value at which the relay activates. The switching on point is set in 0.1 percent steps. The range of values is 0.1 to 99.9 percent. The units millimetres, inches and milliamperes are calculated and displayed for information.
6.9.3 S-P Off (Switching Point Off) "S-P OFF“ (Switching Point Off) shows the value at which the re- lay activates. The switching off point is set in 0.1 percent steps. The range of values is 0.1 to 99.9 percent. The units millimetres, inches and milliamperes are calculated and displayed for information.
6.9.5 Off Delay (switching off delay) "OFF Delay" shows the switching off delay of the selected relay. The delay time can be between 0 and 255 seconds and is set in 1 second steps. Enter with the functions [+] PLUS and [–] MINUS the desired value.
6.9.7 Acknowledge Menu In the Acknowl. menu you can set for the selected relay whether it should be able to be acknowledged in the event of an alarm. Select with the functions UP [] and DOWN [] On - Relay can be acknowledged or Off - Relay cannot be acknowledged.
6.10 Test Menu The “Test” menu gives you an overview of the five relays K1 to K5. It shows behind each relay with "On" or "Off" whether this is activated (On) or deactivated (Off). Select relays: You can select a relay using the UP [] and DOWN [] func- tion.
