2.7Serial Port Wiring
Serial Port 1 is a bidirectional (full duplex) port supporting active 20 mA current loop communications. Port 1 is
optically isolated through the intrinsically safe 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.

Installation and Wiring9
2.8Troubleshooting and Testing the 600IS
Troubleshooting the system components in a safe area can be done in the normal manner utilizing any test
equipment that is necessary . However, prior to any test or measurement that is done in a hazardous area, the plant
manager or safety official must be notified to obtain permission or specific instructions.
The following basic procedures should be observed to provide a safe installation.
•Follow all plant safety procedures.
•Verify what type test equipment is allowed in the hazardous area.
•Do not bring into the hazardous area any inductive continuity testers.
•Do not bring any capacative discharge type devices into the hazardous area.
•Ask the plant authority if the use of non-sparking tools are required.
2.8.1Troubleshooting
The following should be a guide during the installation of the weighing system in a hazardous location.
•Troubleshooting should only be done by qualified field service scale installation personnel.
•Component level repair is not permitted on Factory Mutual approved equipment.
•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.
•Safe area voltage measurements are as follows:
Field replaceable parts are listed below for the UMC
Power Supply Output Voltage
No load8.0 +/- 0.2 VDC
One load cell7.6+/- 0.2 VDC
Four load cells6.5 +/- 0.2 VDC
Table 2-8. Output Voltage
The power supply output voltage can be measured at
the following terminals:
•TB2-4 +VDC (positive lead)
•TB2-5 DC Com (negative lead)
Shorting these terminals will blow the
fuse in the intrinsically safe barrier
module 59267.
Prior to calibration, the UMC 600IS must be digitally
configured, or assigned a set of operating parameters.
The first three parameters are directly related to
calibration and must be set before proceeding to
calibration mode.
