  I eventually found some info on the peet bros. site itself:

http://www.peetbros.com/HTML_Pages/faqs.htm

Data is 2400/8/N/1

Pinout is:
1 - special
2 - +5v
3 - Output
4 - N/C
5 - Ground
6 - Input(U2000only), N/C(U100;U800)

My Ultimeter 500 appears to be an Ultimeter 100 with a built-in inside 
temperature sensor.
