Introduction The UMC222 is a single-channel digital weight indicator designed to operate in a wide variety of scale and weighing applications. The UMC222 digital weight indicator is ideally suited for platform or bench scale applications requiring exceptional performance but can also be utilized for tank and truck scales. The indicator is housed in a NEMA 4X stainless steel sealed case.
Front Panel Keypad and Annunciators Figure 1-1 shows the UMC222 front panel. The UMC222 display consists of six seven-segment display digits. Table 1-1 lists the front panel keys and their functions. Zero Motion Total CLASS III CAPACITY = 10,000 ZERO...
1.1.1 Gross/Tare/Net Weighing Operations The UMC222 offers two methods of Gross/Tare/Net operations (Standard, European). By default the indicator is set to operate Gross/Tare/Net data in the more familiar USA (std.) conventional format. The selection of Eur sets the Gross/Tare/Net operation to operate per OIML requirements.
Installation and Wiring This section describes the procedures for connecting load cell and serial communications cables to the UMC222 indicator. Instructions for battery and CPU board replacement are included, along with assembly drawings and parts list for the service technician.
Power Connections Board Removal If you must remove the UMC222 CPU board, use the Standard units are powered by either 115 VAC or 230 following procedure: VAC volts or by optional battery pack units. 1. Disconnect power to the indicator. Loosen cord 2.4.1...

Serial Configuration The UMC222 has two serial ports. Both Serial Ports 1 and 2 are ASCII-compatible RS232 outputs. The serial format is compatible with most printers, scoreboards, and other remote devices. Each output can be disabled, set for print on demand mode, or set to output data continuously.

All serial characters in the data format are in ASCII and consist of the following: Data Formats 1 Start Bit 7 Data Bits 1 Parity Bit (Even Parity) 2 Stop Bits Table 3-5. Data Formats The transmission of serial data can be initiated in either demand mode, continuous mode, or RS232. Refer to Section 7 for advanced detailed information on serial configuration options.
Options Configuration The UMC222 offers a selection of features that are available in the configuration of the indicator. The options setup mode allows the operator to expand the capabilities of the indicator. The available features are: Key Functions Summary •...
Option 1–Enables/Disables Option 1 enables or disables various parameters that enhance the indicator’s functionality. Those parameters that can be enabled or disabled include: • Time and date (parameter 2) • Five point linearization for span calibration (parameter 3) • Ten digit totalizer (parameter 4) •...

4.1.1 Time and Date–Daylight Savings–Parameter 2 The main purpose for time and date access through the front panel display is to allow the operator to quickly change the time when the time changes between standard and daylight savings time. Enter the setup mode as described in the following steps. 1.
The accumulator will accumulate displayed weight values. If the count mode is enabled, count will accumulate. The UMC222 has a ten digit accumulator available when option 1, parameter 4 is enabled. return to zero To protect against multiple accumulations of data, the accumulator option has a selectable accumulation band feature.
Front Panel Keyboard Entry–Parameter 5 The UMC222 offers limited front panel access to set up parameters that are not regulated under the guidelines of legal-for-trade requirements. This allows those non legal data types to be changed without having to break seals to enter the set up mode for reconfiguration.
4.1.5 Count Feature–Parameter 6 The UMC222 has a count feature available. The internal processing resolution during sampling and counting of pieces is 500,000 full scale with a maximum piece count of 999,000. The number of sample selections that can be selected are: 5, 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200.
