Introduction Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances are a product of our 80 year history of developing and Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances utilize the patented Shimadzu UniBloc sensor, introduced in 1989, to achieve high performance, fast response, and durability. Available features include multiple units of measure, piece counting, checkweighing functions, auto print, and GLP/GMP/ISO output including date and time data from a built-in clock. The new series also features Shimadzu’s WindowsDirect communication, requiring no software installation to quickly integrate balances with lab or business software. This function eliminates data input errors and offers extensive flexibility for application development without compromising compliance or data security. The UW series balance incorporates a motor-driven built-in calibration weight that can automatically calibrate sensitivity without the use of external weights. Read this manual carefully before using this instrument and keep it with the balance for future reference. This manual refers to the different types of UW and UX series (UW/UX series) balances as follows: H type: UW/UX H S type: UW/UX S Where: represents the figure indicating the capacity, H indicates high resolution and S indicates standard resolution. Suffix “V” is added for models with EC Type Approval. The type of balance is classified as “large pan” or “small pan” depending on the capacity. The small pan models with minimum display of 0.001g come with a standard windbreak. Accordingly, the models are classified into the following three groups in “4. Installation”. a. Large pan models: Capacity 2200g or higher b. Small pan models: Capacity 820g or lower (minimum display 0.01g) c. Small pan models: Capacity 1020g or lower (minimum display 0.001g, windbreak standard) For information on the following points, please contact your Shimadzu Balance representative. • Product warranty • After service 1 For Basic Operation manufacturing weighing instruments. 2.

Installation 4.5 Span Calibration Note For Basic Operation Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU: Span calibration must be performed once the balance is installed and before using the balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU. Span calibration must be performed with the internal calibration weight to maintain the verification valid. The balance must be connected to power and warmed up for at least 2 hours prior to span calibration and use as a legal measuring instrument. It is necessary to calibrate the balance after it is moved. Verify that the balance is stable before performing the span calibration. To achieve a very stable state, ensure that the balance has been turned on with the gram-display for at least one hour, that the temperature is constant, that there are no breezes or vibrations and that the balance is in an area isolated from the normal traffic flow.

WindowsDirect Function 6. WindowsDirect Function 6.1 Introduction: Experience it! The UW/UX series balance can transfer data directly to a computer running MS-Excel, mass input window of analytical instrument software or other applications on Windows®* OS, as if the displayed value were typed from the keyboard to the cursor position. This function is called WindowsDirect. As this function directly accesses the Windows® OS, communication software-installation troubles are eliminated. A cable and a few simple settings are all that is needed to enable data transmission from the balance. For bi-directional communication between the balance and the computer, software is required. WindowsDirect does not send commands from the computer. • Only numerical values can be transferred through WindowsDirect. 6.2 Set Up WindowsDirect Simple settings are made for the balance and the computer. Connection is by RS-232C cable (15.2.1) specified by Shimadzu. If bi-directional communication software is used: WindowsDirect function should be turned off. Set up the optimal communication parameters for the software according to “15.3 Communication setting”. 6.2.1 Setting Up the Balance 1 2 3 Press the [MENU] key twice from the gram-display. “Setwin” appears. Press the [O/T] key. Verify the stability mark is illuminated with “Setwin” display. All the communication settings for WindowsDirect have been made. Go to “STAND-BY” by pressing the [POWER] key several times and unplug the AC adapter from the balance. Unpluging the balance once is necessary after the above setting. Notes • Individual communication parameters can be changed at any time using the communications settings menu. If WindowsDirect communication settings have been previously made, the → (stability mark) may appear with the “SEtwin” display even after communication settings are changed and become invalid for WindowsDirect. To restore WindowsDirect optimal settings, first go to the "SEtwin" display and remove the stability mark by pressing the [O/T] key. This restores the default communication settings. Then, reset “SEtwin” following the procedure described in 6.2.1. • Refer to 15.3 for details of communication settings. 24 6.

WindowsDirect Function 6.3 Troubleshooting the WindowsDirect Communication Function If the WindowsDirect communication function doesn't run properly, check the following points. If this doesn't resolve the problem, contact your Shimadzu representative. Q1 WindowsDirect communication has been set but it is not operating at all. A1 • Check the type of communications cable used for the connection (Shimadzu authorized part or another part available on the general market) and the soundness of the connection. • If a USB serial converter is used, depending on the circumstances at the setup there is a possibility that it has been automatically set to a COM port number higher than 4, and in this case you should reassign it to a COM port number that can be used by serial key devices (COM1 to COM4). • It is possible that the driver used as an accessory with the USB serial converter has not been set up properly. Try uninstalling the driver and installing it again. • Some notebook PCs feature a setting for disabling RS-232C ports as a power-saving measure. Before trying to use the WindowsDirect communication function, make the setting that enables the use of RS-232C ports. • Communications with other applications and PCs via a LAN may interfere with the serial key device settings. Try using WindowsDirect communication without using the LAN. Q2 The WindowsDirect communication function won't work after I restart the PC. A2 • Some PCs don't recognize that a serial key device has been set when they start up. For details on how to deal with this, contact your Shimadzu representative. Q3 I want to use the WindowsDirect communication function with Windows Vista or Windows 7. A3 • Windows Vista doesn't have the serial device setting screen that is required to set the WindowsDirect communication function. For details on the setting, contact your Shimadzu representative. Q4 Data is input to the PC as garbled characters. A4 • Either the balance or the PC is not set for the WindowsDirect connection function. Make the settings again. 28 6. WindowsDirect Function Q5 When data is input into Excel, the cursor doesn't move to another cell. A5 • If a function for conversion to 2-byte characters is available in Windows, turn the setting for this function off. • Click the [Edit] tab under [Options] in Excel and check [Move selection after Enter] (if cells move in response to keyboard input there is no problem). • Check the input data in another application (e.g. Notepad). Q6 The operation is sometimes abnormal. A6 • Depending on the processing capability of the PC, malfunctions may occur if the communications speed is high. Set 300 bps for the communication speed. Malfunctions may also occur if the interval for data transmission from the balance is too short. Ensure that one batch of data is displayed on the screen before the next batch of data is sent. And if there is limited processing capability, don't use the continuous output function. • When data is sent from the balance, don't touch the PC's keyboard or mouse. 29 7. Menu Item Selection 7.

Calibration is required to accurately weigh items with an electronic balance. Calibration should be performed: • When the location of the balance is changed, even within the same room. • When the room temperature changes considerably. • Periodically, according to the quality control plan of the user. Terms used in this manual: Span Calibration: Adjustment of the balance to specifications using two weight values; Comparing the current calibration weight reading to the calibration weight reading after the last span calibration. Calibration: Pertains to both span calibration and calibration check. Caution Never plug off the balance when the following messages are displayed. “i-CAL x”, “i-tESt x”, “wAit”, “Abort”, “CAL E x”(“x” represents a number). With UW series, displaced built-in weight may cause damage to the mechanism. 39 Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages zero and an appropriate value for the balance capacity. Calibration Check: 10.

Environment 11.1 Overview Settings on the balance can be changed to compensate for the installation environment such as the degree of vibration or air movement or for the purpose of weighing a solid, liquid or powder. 11.2 Stability and Response (Averaging) Auto mode: Select menu item 22 . The balance automatically performs optimum averaging dynamically while observing the load data. This is the recommended setting and should be used unless special circumstances exist. Pouring mode: (Filling, dosing) Select menu item 23 . This mode is particularly suitable for dosing or filling purposes. Note that this mode is very sensitive to wind and vibration. (Environmental setting in Pouring mode) Pouring mode allows further adjustments to the surrounding environmental conditions. Choose the optimal setting for your installation site observing the response and stability. Every time the circle in the right part of the [O/T] key is pressed during weighing in Pouring mode, the environmental setting will be changed and cycles in the following order. Upon changing the setting, the new setting is briefly displayed as shown in “ ”. normal environment ( “norm E” ) → unstable environment, ( “UnStb E” ) →very stable environment, ( “StAbL E” ) → normal environment, ( “norm E” ). During use, the current environmental setting of Pouring mode can be confirmed by observing the position of the W symbol in the display. (Display) W When “UnStb E” is selected W When “norm E” is selected W When “StAbL E” is selected 49 Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages It is possible to match the stability of the display and the degree of response with the requirements of specific applications or the installation environment. One of the five modes can be selected. Note that adjustments for stability and response conflict with each other, although the UW/UX series is designed to meet both. 11.

Press the center or the left part of [O/T] key for tar- Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages ing or zeroing. Standard mode: Select menu item 24 . This mode is suitable for weighing in a normal environment. Averaging is fixed and does not change dynamically as in the Auto mode. Anti-vibration mode: Select menu item 25 . Use this mode when the balance is used in a location where there are large vibrations and the display fluctuates in the Auto mode. Response is deteriorated at small mass amount changes. Anti-wind mode: Select menu item 26 . Use this mode when the balance is used in a location where it is exposed to airflow that causes the display to fluctuate in the Auto mode. Response deteriorates further than the Anti-vibration mode, but weighing is comparatively stabilized. Note If weighing cannot be performed efficiently even with the Anti-wind mode, change the installation site of the balance or use the optional windbreak (large). 11.3 Stability Detection and Settings Stability detection is an auxiliary function used for the following purposes. (1) When stability is detected during measurement, Stability mark is illuminated as an auxiliary indication of measurement stability. (2) Operations such as data output and auto zeroing of the below listed functions are triggered by stability detection. Some data output functions operated with communication commands (15.2.3) are also linked to stability detection. (Functions that employ stability detection) Auto Print (See 13.3), Auto Zero (See 13.4), Taring/Printing at Stability (See 13.6), Peak Hold (See 14.3), Auto-Memory and Zeroing (See 14.5), Animal Weighing (See 14.6), Formulation Mode (See 14.7). 50 11. Environment It is possible to adjust the operation with the following stability detection settings. (a) Stability Detection Band (11.3.1) (b) Timing of Stability Mark Illumination and Automatic Output (11.3.2) It is not usually required to change these settings as they are optimized at default. However, it is allowed to change according to 11.3.1 and 11.3.2 when: wishing to ease the criteria of stability detection under very unstable environmental or sample conditions, or wishing to accelerate automatic data output when using a function that employs stability detection. Note Stability mark is an auxiliary device to inform measurement stability. The displayed value may change while the stability symbol remains illuminated if the load is changing slowly, or depending on the stability detection set- 11.3.1 Stability Detection Band The default setting is “1 count” and the measurement is regarded to be stable when the display has remained within one display count for a fixed length of time. If stability detection band is set at “2 counts”, it will be regarded to be stable when the display has remained within two display counts. Selecting a larger stability detection band generally eases the criteria and makes stability mark illuminate more readily. However, it will be more likely for the display to further fluctuate after illumination of stability mark. Try a larger stability detection band when data outputs triggered by stability detection is slow due to very unstable environmental and/or sample conditions. Stability detection band 1 count (default setting) 2 counts 4 counts 8 counts 16 counts* 32 counts* 64 counts* Menu item number 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 *Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU. Note Use “16 counts” to “64 counts” for Auto Print, Animal Weighing or other data-outputting function under very unstable conditions only. 51 Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages tings. 11. Environment 11.3.2 Timing of Stability Mark Illumination and Data Output The illumination of stability mark and automatic data output of the functions employing stability detection take place at the same timing. The timing after detection of stability is optimized at the default and it is not necessary to change the setting usually. However, adjustment of the timing is allowed to three levels according to specific measurement requirements. When wishing to accelerate automatic data output with functions such as animal weighing, select menu item 21a . When wishing to delay the illumination of stability mark, select menu item 21c . Select menu item 21b to return it to the standard setting. 11.4 Tracking Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages Tracking is the function that will maintain the current displayed value as long as possible. To turn ON this function, Select menu item 34 . To turn OFF this function, Select menu item 35 . Zero Tracking Function When the display is zero, tracking functions as “zero tracking” to keep the zero display as long as possible. “Zero tracking” automatically cancels small zero drift. It is recommended to set tracking off when measuring slight mass change such as in the process of drop addition or liquid evaporation. Note Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU: Even when Tracking is ON, the range where it works is restricted to the vicinity of the zero, and it is subjected to conditions, according to the regulations. 52 12.

The weights of subsequent samples are displayed as a percentage of the reference sample weight. Note The numbers of digits displayed in the % unit and rounding off of the minimum digit vary depending on the mass value of the reference sample and the balance model. It is not possible to obtain resolution greater than that in the “g” unit. 54 13. Enhancing Productivity 13. Enhancing Productivity Functions that are useful mainly in production sites are described in this chapter. Only one of the functions in the menu group 4 (Refer to 7.3) ( 41 to 53 ) can be used at a time. When one of the functions in menu group 4 is to be used with a weighing unit other than gram, select the function from the gram-display first. Then, change to the other unit with the [UNIT] key. To release this function, use the [POWER] key. For returning to the previous function, Last Menu Recall function is convenient. There are some other combinations of functions that can be used together. Some functions employ the value set in Zero Range setting (refer to 13.5). HI ∗ # GO LO %NETBPTG PCS lbGN mg mom ctdwt oztl kg BATT AP WARM-UP STAND-BY Analog display section The UW/UX series balance has an analog bar graph located on the left side of the display. This graph can be conveniently used for checkweighing or cumulative weighing. The graphic display functions include the two display modes of checkweighing, the target mode, and full scale mode. Only one of them can be used at a time. Refer to 9.1 for the full scale mode and the no bar graph display. Upon selection of either the checkweighing mode or the target mode, the numerical value for threshold or target is requested. Numeric values are memorized independently for each graphic display mode. When one of the checkweighing modes is selected, a signal corresponding to HI, GO, or LO in thegraphic display can be transmitted via the RS-232C/AUX connector. Target, limit, upper, and lower values are set as numeric values only. Set the correct numerical value for the unit that will be used for weighing. • In weighing mode, changing the displayed unit does NOT change the target, limit, upper, or lower numeric values. For example, when the upper limit has been set at 10g, switching the unit from “g” to “kg” does not change the limit to 10kg. It will be 0.01kg. The decimal point is invisible in the value setting display. Determine its position based on the resolution of the balance. For example, if the balance’s minimum display is 0.01g, 150g must be set by inputting “15000” in the display. 55 Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages 13.1 Checkweighing and Target Display 13.

Select optimal Zero Range value again when minimum display has been changed (See 13.5 for details). 61 13. Enhancing Productivity 13.5 Zero Range The “Zero Range” value is used in the following functions as a reference for judging whether the sample is loaded: Auto Print (13.3), Auto Zero(13.4), Peak Hold(14.3), Add-on Mode(14.5), Animal Weighing Mode(14.6), and Formulation Mode(14.7). If the display is within the Zero Range, the balance determines that the balance is not loaded. If the display reaches five times the Zero Range or more, it determines that a sample is loaded. Functions which involves judgment of whether a sample is loaded or not work in accordance with the Zero Range setting. Example: Samples are weighed one after another with UX2200H (minimum display 0.01g) and each measurement result is automatically output with the Auto Print “on Ld” function (13.3). Suppose Zero Range is set to 10. As 1 count for UX2200H is 0.01g, Zero Range is 0.10g in Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages this case. When a sample of 0.50g or more is placed, it is judged to be loaded and the data will be output. When this sample is removed and the display returns below 0.10g, it is judged that the balance is unloaded, then it is ready for the next sample. If it does not return below 0.10g, the previous sample is not judged to be unloaded. Therefore, even when the displayed value reaches 0.50g again by next loading, the data will not be automatically output. Select Zero Range value according to the influences of environment (causing difficulty in zero-return), the weight of the samples, etc. so that Auto Print functions properly. Set the “Zero Range” value with menu item 48 using the number of counts displayed in gram-display. The setting range is 01 to 99 with 10 being the default value. Even when weighing will be done in another unit, Zero Range setting is made by only gram value. Notes • Zero Range value is a common setting for all the Zero Range-linked functions. • The application of Zero Range value is different depending on each function. Refer to the section of each function using Zero Range. • When a Pretare value is set, the thresholds to determine that there is “no load” becomes “− Pretare ± Zero Range”. • When minimum display is changed to 10d (See 9.2), number of counts used for load/unload judgment is counted based on the 10d minimum display. Therefore, the Zero Range value optimized for 1d display can be too large for 10d display. This may cause failure of linked operation, e.g. automatic output upon loading. Optimize Zero Range value again when switching minimum display 1d/10d. 62 13. Enhancing Productivity 13.6 Taring/Printing at Stability Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU Determine if the balance should wait for stability before printing when the [PRINT] key is pressed or zeroing when the [O/T] key is pressed.

Enhancing Productivity 13.7 Pretaring Value Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU Notes • If the weight of the tare (container) varies, accurate measurement with Pretaring Value function cannot made. • Pretaring Value function cannot be used with Peak Hold (14.3), Add-on Mode(14.5), Animal Weighing Mode(14.6), Formulation Mode (14.7) or Auto Print function (13.3). This function is used to weigh the mass of a sample packed in a container such as a bottle or bag with- Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages out opening the container. Pretare function should be used only if the mass of each container does not vary from sample to sample. Instead of zero, the pretare value is displayed (as a negative value) when the [O/T] key is pressed. The pretare value is then subtracted from the total load on the balance pan to display the weight of the sample. 1 Select menu item 36 . 2 Set the Pretare value. Refer to 7.4 for numerical value input. Pretare Value Cancel the Pretare value by setting the value to zero. When a Pretare value other than zero has been set, the Tare symbol illuminates. The Pretare value is set using the “g” unit. The maximum value is the weighing capacity of the balance. Check the Pretare value by pressing and holding the [O/T] key for approximately 3 seconds during weighing. Use the AKB-301 external keypad if you have to change the Pretare value frequently. 64 14. Application Functions 14. Application Functions Application measurement functions are described in this chapter. Only one of the functions in the menu group 4 (Refer to 7.3) ( 41 to 53 ) can be used at a time. When one of the functions in menu group 4 is to be used with a weighing unit other than gram, select the function from the gram-display first. Then, change to the other unit with the [UNIT] key. To release this function, use the [POWER] key. For returning to the previous function, Last Menu Recall function is convenient. There are some other combinations of functions that can be used together. Some functions employ the value set in Zero Range setting (refer to 13.5). Solid specific gravity measurement refers to the measurement of the sample (solid) weight in the air and in a liquid of known specific gravity (or density) and the calculation of the sample specific gravity (or density). The Td symbol is used to represent the solid specific gravity in this balance. The data output unit is DS. Note Use of the optional SMK-101, or SMK-102 Specific Gravity Measurement Kit (refer to A-3.) is recommended for efficient measurements. When using the SMK-101 or SMK-102, refer to the instruction manual of the kit. Follow the instruction below when a hanging pan and a tank are prepared by the user. 1 Select menu item 60 in advance.

Connecting Peripheral Instruments 15.2.2 Data Format The detailed information on the standard format for Shimadzu electronic balances (Menu item 77 , “EB type”. Refer to 15.3.3) is given here. (1) Basic format An example of data format of a negative value (-186.65g) with delimiter of C/R is shown. The data length varies depending on attached information, unit expression and delimiter as explained in (2). Data length of this example: 12 bytes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ASCII code 2DH 20H 20H 31H 38H 36H 2EH 36H 35H 67H 20H 0DH Data - 1 8 6 . 6 5 g C/R Remarks Position 1: For a positive value, " " (space) (20H), and for a negative value, "-" (2DH) is in this position. Positions 2 to 9: The absolute value. When the numerical value does not use all the 8 positions, the code for space is entered to each excessive position as shown in this example. Positions 10,11: One or two letters indicating the weighing unit. As shown in this example, the code for space is entered at position No.11 if only one letter is used for the unit. Position 12: (2) Code for delimiter. Information of additional bytes (i) Output with stability information When outputting data with stability information (Refer to 15.2.3 (4)-(i)), either of the following characters is added in front of Character No.1 in the example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 byte longer. When stable: S When unstable: U (ii) Verified balance as a legal measuring instrument The brackets “[ ]” bordering auxiliary indicating device of legal measuring instrument can also be outputted. In this case, “[” and “]” are inserted according to their positions in the weighed data. They come to the positions before and after Position No.9 in the example. Consequently, the data becomes 2 bytes longer. (iii) Unit expressed with three letters Some weighing units are expressed with three letters. Therefore one more byte is inserted after Position No.11 in the above example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 byte longer. 81 Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages Position 15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments (iv) When the delimiter “C/R+L/F” is selected (Menu item No. 96 . Refer to 15.3.7.) The delimiter information requires one more character. Therefore one more byte is added after Position No.12 in the above example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 byte longer. (3) Data format in case of “oL” or “-oL” (Overload) The below is the data format for “oL”. Data length of this example: 12 bytes Position ASCII code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 4FH 4CH 20H 20H 20H 20H 0DH O L Data For “-oL” (negative overload), Position 1 is replaced with “-” (minus, ASCII code: 2DH). The following parts appearing in “(2) Information of additional bytes” also apply to (3).

Connecting Peripheral Instruments 15.2.3 Using Command Codes Note If communication conditions are incorrectly set, a communication error message “ComErr” is displayed. (1) Commands that end with a number, character, or symbol other than [=]: Transmit to the balance with a delimiter for each command code. Example 1: Commands that end with a [=]: Transmit the number to the balance with a delimiter. Example 2: TIME=1234.. 12:34 is set as the current time. Example 3: P.TARE=1.23 (example of type of the second decimal place). Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages (2) PRINT ... The same operation as pressing the [PRINT] key ...1.23g is set as a Pretare value. Example 4: P.TARE=0.00 (example of the second decimal place) ...Clears (cancels) the Pretare value. Note Number of digits, decimal point, position of decimal point of the numeral transmitted succeeding to ‘=’ are the same as the case of setting the numeric value using the AKB-301 Application Keyboard. Use the same number of decimal places as in the gram-display. This restriction does not apply to USER=, SOLID=, and LIQUID=. Example 5: MENU=4630 (4-digit number after [=]) This is the same in the following operation. .. from mass display, press the [CAL] key five times, then press the [O/T] key once and the press the [CAL] key six times. This returns to the same display as if the [CAL] key was never pressed. Press the [O/T] key once, then [CAL] key three times, and the [O/T] key once more. This example indicates that menu item 25 (Anti-vibration mode) is selected. 83 15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments Notes • If there is 0 in the four-digit number, the setting is complete at that point and menu selection is ended. • The result of this command varies depending on the type of the balance. Example 6: Example 7: #=2.56 #=12.345.67 A personal computer can instruct the weighing and display a specific number on the balance. With the commands in Example 6 &7, [#2.56] and [#12.345.67] are displayed on the balance. When the operator presses the [PRINT] key, the character Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages string '2-56 ' and '12-345-67 are output from the balance. (3) Echo back command The balance again transmits the character strings of N pieces included between an echo back command ‘{‘ or ’}’ and the delimiter. An unprocessed echo back command is not left in the receiving buffer of the balance, N ≤ 30. Example 8: ABCDEFG12345 ... After receiving this command, the balance outputs ABCDEFG12345 . The printer can print this character string. Note Only capital alphabets and a part of symbols (decimal point, symbol etc.) can be used when printing with an electronic printer. A maximum of 15 characters per line.

Connecting Peripheral Instruments 15.2.4 Multi-Connection Mode A maximum of 26 UW/UX series balances can be connected to one personal computer at the same time. This is called “Multi-Connection mode.” To use the balance in this mode, prepare RS-232C cables in the number of balances connected, and the optional IFB-102A RS-232C Interface. Connecting Method Example for connecting 10 units of UW/UX series balances to one personal computer is shown in the diagram below. Personal computer IFB IFB Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages UW or UX [j] UW or UX [i] UW or UX [a] Assignment of Identification Name In this example (10 balances connected to one computer), assign the identification name in lower-case alphabets. Since 10th character of alphabet is “j,” assign “j” to the balance closest to the personal computer, “i” to next closest balance, and so on, back to “a.” Setting to Multi-Connection Mode 1 Adjust the communication menu settings of all the balances to the specification of the personal computer, and then, turn off the power to all balances. 2 Start supplying the power to the whole system. Wait until all balances display OFF. 3 Send “[α] ” from the personal computer. α is the name of the balance next to the personal computer. In the example above, lower-case “j.” This command is valid only one time after turning the power ON. Respective balances automatically enter the Multi-Connection mode and the mass is displayed. 88 15.

Operation is not guaranteed for the data containing characters, such as printing of date, time, and calibration document etc. 89 15. Connecting Peripheral Instruments Restricted Items in the Multi-Connection Mode • Multi-Connection mode is not designed for each balance to independently send the data. This mode is for sampling the data by control of multiple balances with one PC. This is not the function to support multiple balances for sending the data separately. When multiple number of data and commands exist on the system at the same time, the balance may not operate normally. For example, multiple data may exist simultaneously on the system when using multiple balances in the Application Measurement mode such as Auto Print or Continuous Output, or pressing the [PRINT] key. Normal operation cannot be guaranteed. • Peripheral instruments connected to the DATA I/O or IFB-102A connector, such as an EP-50 Electronic Printer, cannot be used. • The communication formats can only be used with “Format EB type”. Delimiters cannot be used with menu items 97 or 98 (setting for WindowsDirect). • It will take an average 0.05×N seconds for the data from the personal computer to reach balance unit N, even at setting of 38400 bps. Also, it will take almost the same time for the data from the balance Read Chapter 7 Before Use of These Pages in the Nth position to reach the personal computer. Cancellation of Multi-Connection mode Multi-Connection mode cannot be canceled unless the power for all balances is turned OFF. 90 15.

Performance Checks Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU Notes • Performance checks should be conducted in a room where there are no sudden temperature changes. Refer to the installation guidelines for the environmental factors that assure optimal performance. • The following is a standard method used to determine whether the balance is working properly. • The specific criterion should be set according to each user’s quality goal. Repeatability 1 Allow the balance to warm up sufficiently by turning ON the power and leaving it at the gramdisplay at least two hours before starting the performance checks. 2 Choose a weight that is near half the capacity of the balance. Load and unload the weight five successive times and record the following items: Xi: Displayed value when the weight is loaded. Yi: Displayed value when the weight is unloaded. 3 Use the formulas shown below to calculate the values Rx and Ry. 4 Balance repeatability is considered normal when both Rx and Ry are within five counts. * One count corresponds to one minimum display unit of the balance model. Load and unload a weight which is near the capacity of the balance five successive times. Load : X1, X2, .....Xi, .....X5 ↑ ↓ Unload : Y1, Y2, .....Yi, .....Y5 Rx = X (max) − X (min) Ry = Y (max) − Y (min) 107 Appendices Cornerload Performance 1 Allow the balance to warm up sufficiently by turning ON the power and leaving it at the gramdisplay at least two hours before starting the performance checks. 2 5 4 different positions on the pan in the order shown. Record the readings in each of the five positions. 1 2 Use a weight that is approximately 1/4 of the balance capacity and place it sequentially at five 3 3 If the difference between the readings at the center position and each of the off-center positions (eccentric error) is within five counts, the balance cornerload performance is considered normal. * One count corresponds to one minimum display unit of the balance model.

repeatedly till Weight symbol is blinking → Press [O/T] (“- iEtAtP” is displayed with “i” blinking) → Press [CAL] repeatedly until “A” blinks → Press [O/T] (“PSC on” is displayed) → Press [CAL] (“PSC off” is displayed) → Press [O/T] (Stability mark ) is added) → Press [POWER] repeatedly to return to the mass display. When PSC is off, perform span calibration according to Span Calibration Procedure when it is necessary. Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU: When PSC, fully-automatic span calibration, is not activated, operator must carry out span calibration with the built-in weight (refer to the following) upon blinking of the Weight Symbol. Clock-CAL is a practical alternative that performs regular automatic span calibration according to time setting (UW series only, up to 3 times a day, refer to main manual 10.3.3). [POWER] key [CAL] key [O/T] key [UNIT] key [PRINT] key Key function during basic weighing (Refer main manual 2.2 for details) [POWER] Switches between operation and stand-by (On/Off). [CAL] Enters span calibration or menu item selection. [O/T] Tares the balance (Displays zero with a container on the pan) [UNIT] Switches weighing units. [PRINT] Output the displayed data to an electronic printer or a computer. To output date and time → Press and hold for about 3 seconds Span Calibration Procedure Calibration is required to accurately weigh items with an electronic balance. Calibration should be performed: • When the location of the balance is changed, even within the same room. • When the room temperature changes considerably. • Periodically, according to the quality control plan of the user. Before span calibration, verify that the balance is in the mass-display and that the pan is empty. UW series [Span Calibration Using the Built-in Weight] (1) (2) Stabilizing Display / Faster Response for Filling Press the [CAL] key once. “i-CAL” is displayed. Press the [O/T] key. After “i-CAL3”...“i-CAL1”, and “SEt”, “CAL End” are displayed indicating the completion of span calibration, the mass-display will return. • If it is unavoidable to install the balance at a location subject to air flow or vibration, try changing the environmental settings to stabilize the reading. (From mass display) Press [CAL] repeatedly till “E” is blinking in “SEL:EAUS” display → Press [O/T] (“→E- AbtP8” is displayed with “→” blinking) → Press [CAL] once (“A” blinks) → Press [CAL] repeatedly until “EA-vibr” is displayed → Press [O/T] (Stability mark is added to “EAvibr”) → Press [POWER] repeatedly to return to mass display. This setting will bring more stability, however response will be slower. If further stability is desired, select “EA-wind” instead of “EA-vibr” in the above procedure. • If faster response is required for filling or dosing purpose, select “PoUr” instead of “EA-vibr” in the above procedure. Pouring mode is set and the response will be very fast, but display unstable. Refer to 11.2 for details of Pouring mode.
