2.7Instrumentation Setup
All indicators are configured and tested prior to
shipment to ensure that they are fully functional. The
unit can be turned on immediately after connecting the
input power and the load cells.
The UMC600 operates with the EPROM program
KDA1921-1(27C512). To verify the program installed
in the indicator, turn on the indicator and observe the
displayed value at the EP prompt (see Figure 2-4). The
EP prompt displays the family, set, and version level of
the installed EPROM.
EP–1.15

Set 1
To ensure that the UMC600 is in proper operating
condition, the indicator can be tested with a load cell
simulator. The input signal should be as close as
possible to the normal system millivolt value.
Figure 2-5 shows the simulator-to-indicator wiring
connection in a six-wire configuration. See Section 2.9
for more information.
Note: Six-wire configuration requires that the +SEN
lead be shorted to +EXC and the –SEN lead be shorted
to –EXC at the simulator only.

3.1.4Normal Configuration Setup Parameters
You must be in the configuration mode (SW1-2 closed to set the indicator from the PC) to be able to write
configuration parameters. To write commands the following Jxxyyzz<CR> sequence must be used. The following
parameters and their setup numbers are as follows:
The UMC600 has two serial ports. Both serial ports 1 and 2 are ASCII-compatible, 20 mA current loop, or RS-232
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 .
Table 3-8 shows the configuration selections for parameter 14, which control the configuration of ports 1 and 2.
Note: Settings for simplex (14.S1) and duplex (14.dU) are the same except that ports 1 and 2 must have the same
baud rate when in duplex mode.

4.2Option 2 – Analog Output Option
Indicator option 2 provides settings for zero, span, and trim adjustments for the analog output. The settings are all
digital therefore no potentiometers are required. During the trim adjustments for zero/span, the analog output is
forced to the zero/span previously selected in option mode parameters 2.5 and 2.6. While reading the analog output,
the trim is increased or decreased from 0 to ± 175 until the reading corresponds with the values entered in
parameters 2.5 and 2.6.
Option 2 enables the analog output option. The following features of analog output are:
• Converts serial data into analog: 0–10 VDC or 4–20 mA.
• Ordered as a kit, it must be operated remotely from the digital weight indicator.
• Analog output tracks gross, net, or displayed weight.
• Full digital calibration (indicator front panel).
Serial data from the indicator is modified to include scaled information specifically for the analog output module.
The standard communications are also included to allow the module to pass-through printer or scoreboard
information.
NOTE: The serial pass-through does not have duplex capability.
The analog output is fully isolated with its own power supply and current loop communications. The analog module
can be located remotely up to 1000 feet from the indicator. After wiring and setting the module’s baud rate, the
remaining setup and calibration is done at the indicator.
4.2.1Specifications
Current output is 4–20 mA with a maximum impedance less than or equal to 600Ω.
Voltage output is 0–10 VDC with a minimum load resistance of 1kΩ.
4.2.2Test Modes
Switch settings are provided to force the analog output to zero, full scale, or to provide a continuous sawtooth
waveform for system checking.
4.2.3Error Checking
Serial data is continually checked for parity, valid characters, and presence of communication. Loss of data is
indicated by forcing the analog output to a minimum value of -0.5 VDC or 3.2 mA (approximate). If the indicator is
in an overload condition, the analog output is forced to 5% over full scale. With the 4–20 mA output, an additional
alarm is provided to detect the lack of current (break) in the loop.
4.2.4Communication Verification
An LED (DS1) is provided on the analog module:
• ON = Communications OK
• Pulse = Communications errors
• OFF = No power

The accumulate function is used to add weight data to a register for later access by the user. The accumulator can
keep a running total of weights entered, either automatically using setpoints, or manually pressing the
when the accumulate function is active.
The UMC600 has a ten digit accumulator available when Option 4 is enabled. To protect against multiple
accumulations of data, the accumulator option has a selectable return to

The expanded serial communications options provide RS-485 communications for the UMC600. Option 5 features
include:
• Duplex communication for up to two weight indicators on a single serial port.
• RS-485 half-duplex with U21 installed.
• RS-485 full-duplex available with U21 and the
• Direct keyboard access to the indicator address in normal operating mode.
• Poll/answer protocol.
• Unit address 1 - 98.
•Tag mode that adds the programmed address to standard serial output format.
• Stored ID mode allows an identification number to be held until written over by a new one.
• Counter sequentially counts on each valid print. Counts from 1 – 999,999.
TAG/LAN
Under option 5 there are two modes of serial operation that can be selected:
•TAG mode – Adds a two digit address to the standard serial format which “tags” printed data with the
UMC600’s address. This feature is useful when more than one indicator is set up on a site and serial data
needs to be identified with the indicator from which it was generated.
• LAN mode – Local Area Network can be configured as a two wire (half duplex) RS-485 serial
communication by installing the driver chip into socket U21 or 5.2 LAN (full duplex) RS-485/RS422 with
the additional installation of the KBT7116-13 kit.

4.7Option 7 – Serial I/O
The serial I/O option offers flexibility for an operator to customize the serial output format for individual system
requirements. The selections under option 7 can be divided into three groups.
• Customizing of serial output data.
• Setup of MACRO files.
• Those files that affect serial operation.
These sections are addressed in detail below.
4.7.1Customizing Files
The serial I/O option offers flexibility for an operator to customize the serial output format for individual system
requirements but must be limited to 30 character codes. The selection of the associated custom print file is
performed automatically by serial port and the data mode (gross, net, total recall, or special) that the UMC600 is
currently in at the time of a print.
The custom print supports:
• Specifying starting and terminating characters (STX, CR, LF)
• Adding printer control characters
• Custom headers and titles
• Customizing units to ounce, tons, or pounds
• Customized parameters such as gross weight instead of GR
• Custom insertion of special parameters such as time/date and identification number
• Delays where and when required
•Truck mode custom printing
• Custom continuous serial protocol
• Custom “P” print out in duplex mode
NOTE: Custom print does not support RS485 protocol.

4.7.2Macro File Setup
There may be times when you need to print more than the 30 character codes that are allowed in the custom transmit
files (7.1 - 7.8). To do custom transmits larger than 30 character codes, the UMC600 provides eight “macro” files
(7.9 to 7.16) that can be called in from the custom transmit files. This is done by putting a parameter code of 600,
601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 606, or 607 in your custom transmit file to macros 7.9 through 7.16 respectively. As with
the custom transmit files, each macro file can contain up to 30 character codes. You can call more than one macro in
your custom transmit or even call the same macro more than once.
Each macro file holds up to 30 ASCII characters and parameter codes. Refer to the ASCII characters and Table 9-2
in Section 9 for parameter codes.

• Relay board (KHL8924) installed or when ordered as a kit (KBT7116-11/12).
• Relay board (KJN8924) installed or when ordered as a kit (KBT7116-16).
•Parallel BCD Option kit (KBY7116-1).
4.12.1Relay Output Board KHL8924
This unit can be ordered with the relay output board(KHL8924) installed. Refer to Figure 4-13 on page 42 for
detailed board wiring. This option provides four solid state relays to control 115/230 VAC lines directly .
For applications requiring dry contacts, reed relays can be ordered. Ordered in kit form, order:
• Solid state relays installed order KBT7116-11
• Reed relays installed order KBT7116-12
A rear access hole in the indicator is required for accessing output from the relay board. Newer indicators now come
standard equipped with this hole.
Additional features of KHL8924 include:
•Power-up reset protection – all relays are held off until the CPU re-establishes proper operating conditions
caused by power interruptions.
•Watchdog circuitry – A hardware timer is provides to automatically turn off all relays if the instrument is
not running.
• Solid state optically isolated relays – Rated 20VAC to 120VAC, 5mA to 1 Amp.
• Dry contact reed relays DC only – Rated 0.5 Amp, 10VA contact rating max. and 100VDC switching volts
max.
• All outputs provided with terminal strip connections.

NOTES:
• The indicator power must be clean and isolated from the control power used to run relays, solenoids, and
motors. Also the indicator ground must be separate from the control power ground.
• Solid state relays typically leak some current during their off state (4ma to 10ma). When used with certain
relays or neon indicator lights, a resistor wired in parallel to the load may be required to shunt this current
and allow the device to turn off.
•When using these outputs to drive other relays, suppressors are required on the external relay’s coil.
• Insure that the load cell wiring is routed separately from all control wiring.

5.3Five-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. For best results, use values of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of full scale for the five linearization points.
1. Turn on option 6 (see Section 4.6 on page 32).
2. After performing a zero calibration as described in Section 5.1, place the first test weight on the scale
platform. Allow ten or more seconds for stabilization (motion LED goes out).
NOTE: Straight averaging is applied during calibration.
3. Enter test weight value for the first calibration point using the numeric keyboard.
4. When the display is correct, press the
calibration point entered then appears with a flashing display prompt L_ indicating the next calibration point
to be entered (Lb, Lc, Ld, or Le).
5. Repeat Steps 2, 3 and 4 for Lb, Lc, Ld, and Le with the appropriate test weights.
6. Recheck the zero weight by emptying the scale.
NOTE: AZM is off during calibration. Dead load display provides signal reference.

Other Factors to Note
PAZ: 1.9% x 200,000 = 3800 lb
Overrange: 103% x 200,000 = 206,000 lb
Minimum calibrated load: 10% x 200,000 = 20,000 lb
Analog Sensitivity
Analog signal input range: 0.7 to 3.2 mV/V
Analog signal sensitivity: 0.3 µV/graduations at 20,000
For H-44 requirements, use a factor of 4 (1.2 µV/grad). If the lo wer signal range is used for calibration, the indicator
may fail acceptance testing with 0.3 µV/grad.
NOTE: Check for a minimum live load of 12 mV for 10,000 graduations. If less than 12 mV, decrease the number of
graduations accordingly.

6.0Normal Weighing Mode Operations
This section provides the operator with a description of front panel key functions and associated annunciators
(LEDs) used to operate the UMC600 in the normal weighing mode.
After the unit is configured and calibrated, the unit is placed in the weighing or normal weighing mode (SW1-1
through SW1-4 open). In this mode, the weight indicator displays live weight data that is presently on the scale.
6.1Display Test
The display check and EPROM verification are used to
test the indicator LED.
6.1.1Display Check
Observe the display when power is first applied to the
indicator. All six indicator LEDs (zero, net, gross, lb,
kg, and motion) should be turned on and each seven
segment display, with its associated decimal point, will
advance across the display field, allowing the operator
to check for any missing segments or decimal points.
6.1.2EPROM Verification
Upon completion of the display check the software
version momentarily appears on the display. This value
indicates to the operator the current EPROM that has
been installed in the UMC600. The UMC600 operates
with an EPROM family group KDA 1.15.
6.2LED Annunciators
Table 6-1 shows the display panel annunciator and the
definitions of the annunciator.

Table 6-2. Function Key Description
6.4Gross/Tare/Net Weighing
Operations
In normal mode, the UMC600 displays gross, tare, or
net weights using the LED annunciators to indicate
scale status and the type of weight value displayed.
6.4.1Display Mode on Power Up
When the UMC600 is initially powered up, the display
automatically appears in the gross mode.
6.4.2ZERO Key Function
If the gross weight zero is within the zero band, press
the
ZERO key. There are various things that would
make invalid zero conditions. They are:
• Gross weight data above the defined zero band
• Gross weight data in motion
•Overload/underload condition
Normal Weighing Mode Operations49
Page 53
6.4.3TARE Key Function
If the tare acquisition is greater than zero (+1/2
graduation), set the display to the net mode and apply
the new tare.
If the tare acquisition is negative or in motion, the
indicator stays in the current mode and no tare is
performed.
6.4.4Overload and Underrange Conditions
Overload conditions occur when the weight exceeds the
selected scale capacity by greater than 105%, or
overload may indicate a defective load cell or load cell
simulator input.
NOTE: If the indicator is configured for legal-for-trade
(PAZ = 1.9%), overload occurs at 103% of full scale
capacity if push-to-zero has already captured 2% of full
scale (105% minus 2% = 103%).
Underload conditions will occur when scale input is
greater than -400 grads, or underload may indicate a
defective load cell or load cell simulator input.
Figure 6-1 shows the indicator display associated with
over and underrange conditions.
See Section 9.3 on page 67 for information about
additional error and display messages.

legal-for-trade regulations, demand output data is
inhibited during the following conditions:
•Scale in motion
•Positive overload
•Negative overload
•Negative gross weight displayed
•Unit in display check mode
•Other display modes
NOTE:
In legal-for-trade applications, the Motion
Detection Parameter (parameter 9) must be turned ON.
In demand mode, the operator may choose to print
Gross/Tare/Net when in net mode. If the serial port is
set to print on demand mode, the format is:
In normal mode, the demand print output data can be
labeled with a six-digit ID number. To print label data,
the operator must enter six digits (maximum) using the

6.7Truck Weighing Mode
The truck weighing mode provides a weigh-in/weigh-out system for single scale applications. The UMC600 has a
system capacity of up to three hundred transactions, each with up to six digit identification numbers (ID’s).
The truck weighing system is configured using parameter 13 and transaction printouts are performed only on port 2
and the operation is only in gross mode.
During configuration the installer has the following options:
•Turn the truck weighing system on or off.
• Store ID numbers and tare weights after a transaction or automatic cancellation of the ID number/tare.
NOTE: Storing truck transactions may eventually fill the transaction buffer. To delete stored transactions, use the
clear procedure described in “Transaction buffers: view/print/clear” on page 54.
• Enable or disable the fixed tare entry mode.
NOTE: The UMC600 operates in gross mode only while in truck weighing mode.
Table 6-6 shows the configuration selections for parameter 13.

• Setpoints track display readings and will therefore be affected by Gross/Net and Auto Tare operations.
• In batching modes (
BAT1 and BAT2) the setpoint outputs are latched.
• Internal jumpers S4 and S5 must be in 2-3 position to enable the front panel start switch (S21).

The UMC600 has two serial ports. Both serial ports 1 and 2 are ASCII-compatible, RS-232, or 20 mA current loop
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 .
8.1.1Demand Output Serial Data Format
You can use the port or key pad to fully customize the output to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard
displays, and other remote equipment. To comply with legal-for-trade regulations, demand output data is inhibited
during the following conditions:
• Scale in motion
•Negative gross weight displayed
• Positive overload
•Negative overload
• Unit in “display check” mode
• Other “non normal” display mode
In demand mode, selection can be made to print gross/tare/net when in net. If either port is set to print on demand
mode, use the following format.
The continuous mode output serial data format is used to interface computers, scoreboards, and other remote
devices requiring constant data updating. Continuous mode transmission occurs at the end of each display update.

8.1.3RS485 Data Formats
The UMC600 has a built-in RS485 software protocol which is enabled when you assign an address to the indicator.
Settings for RS485 are required on port 1 and are as follows:
• 14.dU, 14.3dE, and 14.4 (baud rate selection)
• Option 5 must be turned on. See Section 4.5 on page 30.

8.1.5Full Duplex Parameter Entry/Recall
One of the capabilities of the UMC600, with the full duplex serial port 1 is the ability to enter or recall setpoints
from a computer or terminal. The following table illustrates full duplex setpoint parameter entry/recall.
Table 8-2. Full Duplex Setpoint Parameter Entry/Recall
The response data (xxxxx) is corrected for count-by round off and is six characters in length if there is no decimal
point and seven with the decimal point. Leading zeros are spare characters.
Invalid data requests or entries are responded to with an echo of the valid portion and an
I indicating the invalid
portion.
8.2Delay Demand Print
When file 7.17 is enabled, a demand print, from either the print key or the remote print (TB3-10), is delayed for up
to 25 seconds if the scale is in motion. If the scale comes out of motion before the 25-second timer times out, the
UMC600 will do a print of the data. If the scale remains in motion, the demand print is aborted.
8.3Battery Option
The UMC600 has an optional battery that can be installed. The indicator enclosure must be opened to connect the
battery to the CPU board. Use the following steps:
1. Disconnect AC power by unplugging the indicator.
2. Remove the screws that hold the front bezel to the enclosure body.
3. Place indicator face down on an antistatic work mat, then lift the back of the indicator away from the front
bezel.
4. Set the enclosure aside.
5. Locate the battery plug in on the CPU board (J6) shown in the diagram below. Plug in the connectors being
sure to note their polarity .

9.0Appendix
9.1ASCII Character Chart
Use the decimal values for ASCII characters listed in Table 9.1 when specifying print format string. The actual
character depends on the character mapping used by the output device.
The UMC600 can send or receive any ASCII character value (decimal 0-255), but the characters that can be shown
on the indicator are limited by the 14-segment display. Text strings formatted for display on the indicator should be
limited to upper case, unaccented character to ensure legibility.
Use the following code values for parameter descriptions listed in Table 9-2 when specifying the format string. The
actual character depends on the character mapping used by the output device.
