1. Introduction

Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances are a product of our 80 year history of developing and manufacturing weighing instruments.

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 \$

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.

4.5 Span Calibration

Note

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.

• The registered units are displayed sequentially according to the order of the 12.1 Unit Display Set-up.

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 Press the [MENU] key twice from the gram-display. "Setwin" appears.

2 Press the [O/T] key. Verify the stability mark is illuminated with "Setwin" display. All the communication settings for WindowsDirect have been made.

3 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.

6.2.2 Cable Connection

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.

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.

10. Calibration

10.1 What is calibration?

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; zero and an appropriate value for the balance capacity.

Calibration Check: 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.

10.2 Calibration Execution

Notes

• Setting before shipment is as the following:
  UW series: Span calibration using the built-in weight
  UX series: Span calibration using external weights
  The type of calibration can be changed (See 10.3).
• Calibration will not be performed when the weight on the pan is not near zero, or the balance is not stable.

11. 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)

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.

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: Select menu item . 23

(Filling, dosing) 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 ◀ symbol in the display.

(Display)

◀ When “UnStb E” is selected◀ When “norm E” is selected◀ When “StAbL E” is selected

11. Environment

Note

While “Pouring” is selected as the Stability and Response setting, taring the container or zeroing the display cannot be made by pressing the rightmost part of [O/T] key. Press the center or the left part of [O/T] key for tar-ing or zeroing.

Standard mode:

Select men24 item

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 i25m

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 men26 item

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).

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 settings.

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* 3	2 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.

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 23b elect menu item to return it to the standard setting.

11.4 Tracking

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.

12. Units

12.1 Unit Display Set-up

Note

Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU:

Only g (gramme=gram), ct (carat) weighing units, percentage conversion and piece counting are available for use. Carat is not available for UW820SV and UW8200SV models.

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 the-graphic 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.

13.1.1 Checkweighing (Comparator) Display Type 1

This is the best mode to determine pass or failure judgment based on the sample weight.

Displays in use

GO LO HI

1 Select menu map item . 15

2 Set the upper threshold value, which corresponds to the upper triangle mark, with menu item 16

3 Set the lower threshold value, which corresponds to the lower triangle mark, with menu item 17

Note

The decimal point is invisible in each value setting display. Setting the value cannot be made in gram unit. Determine the number based on the minimum display of the balance. For example, if the balance's minimum display is 0.01g, 150g (150.00g in this balance) must be set by inputting "15000" in the display, not "150" or "150.00".

Note

Determination as follows:

Upper threshold < Sample weight HI

Lower threshold ≤ Sample weight ≤ Upper threshold GO

Sample weight < Lower threshold LO

13.1.2 Checkweighing (Comparator) Display Type 2

Use this mode for classification based on the sample weight. The display looks like a bar graph, but also includes a checkweighing function.

Displays in use

GO LO HI

1 Select menu map item . 18

2 Set the upper threshold value, which corresponds to the upper triangle mark, with menu item 19

3 Set the lower threshold value, which corresponds to the lower triangle mark, with menu item 20

Upper threshold < Sample weight HI

Lower threshold ≤ Sample weight ≤ Upper threshold GO

Sample weight < Lower threshold LO

Note

The decimal point is invisible in each value setting display. Setting the value cannot be made in gram unit. Determine the number based on the minimum display of the balance. For example, if the balance's minimum display is 0.01g, 150g (150.00g in this balance) must be set by inputting "15000" in the display, not "150" or "150.00".

13.1.3 Target Mode

This mode is useful for constant amount weighing of liquid or judgment of excess and shortage.

The target value is the numeric value that is the desired amount in the unit that is used for weighing. The limit value is the numeric amount above or below the target value that is acceptable. The target will be indicated as the center line in the analog display. The limits will be indicated as triangle marks. A moving bar represents the current weight on the pan.

Display examples in use

← target → _

1 Select the Target mode with menu item 12
2 Set the "target" value, which corresponds to the center line of the graphic display, with menu item 13.
3 Set the "limit" value, which corresponds to the distance between the center line and upper or lower triangle marks, with menu item 14

Note

The decimal point is invisible in each value setting display. Setting the value cannot be made in gram unit. Determine the number based on the minimum display of the balance. For example, if the balance's minimum display is 0.01g, 150g (150.00g in this balance) must be set by inputting "15000" in the display, not "150" or "150.00".

13.2 Piece Counting (PCS)

(Example)

Print on loading, unloading, and on zero: Select menu item 45

Load the sample when the value displayed is within the Zero Range. When stability is detected and the displayed positive or negative value is more than 5 times the Zero Range, data is automatically output.

Unload the sample or press the [O/T] key. When the displayed value is within the Zero Range and stability is detected, data is output again.

Print continuously: Select menu item 46

Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU

By pressing the [PRINT] key while the Auto-Print symbol and Stand-by symbol are lit, the Stand-by symbol goes out, the Communication symbol lights and the displayed data is continuously output.

Continuous output stops temporarily when the [PRINT] key is pressed.

13. Enhancing Productivity

Note

During continuous output, the Communication symbol may appear to remain lit. If the transfer speed of the data output is slow, the display may become unstable. Increase the transfer speed as much as possible and set the handshake off (menu item 73)

Print on "GO" judge of checkweighing: Select menu item 47

When the checkweighing function (See 13.1) is used and stability is detected in the "GO" range, the data is output once.

The next data output is executed after the displayed value is within the Zero Range.

Notes

• See 13.5 for details of Zero Range.
• See 11.3 for details of stability detection.
- Pretaring Value (13.7) function cannot be used with Auto Print functions.
- Auto Print mode setting can be cleared without menu operation, by pressing the [POWER] key for about three seconds.
- Not more than one of these seven functions can be set at a time. Setting the second one with the menu will automatically clear the previously set function; Auto Print(13.3), Auto Zero(13.4), Peak Hold(14.3), Interval Timer(14.4), Add-on mode(14.5), Animal Weighing mode(14.6), Formulation mode(14.7).
- For automatic outputs at preset intervals, see "14.4 Interval Timer".
- When minimum display has been switched to 10d (See 9.2), the optimized Zero Range for 1d display may cause failure in the operation (e.g. Data is not automatically output as sample is loaded). Select optimal Zero Range value again when minimum display has been changed (See 13.5 for details).

13.4 Auto Zero

Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU

When the displayed value is within the Zero Range and stability is detected, zeroing occurs automatically. The Zero symbol appears in the display when the Auto Zero function is active. Other keys function as expected with the Auto Zero function activated.

Select menu item 4tb activate it.

Notes

• See 13.5 for details of Zero Range.
• See 11.3 for details of stability detection.
- Pretaring Value (13.7) function cannot be used with Auto Zero function.
- Auto Zero setting can be cleared without menu operation, by pressing the [POWER] key for about three seconds.
- Not more than one of these seven functions can be set at a time. Setting the second one with the menu will automatically clear the previously set function; Auto Print(13.3), Auto Zero(13.4), Peak Hold(14.3), Interval Timer(14.4), Add-on mode(14.5), Animal Weighing mode(14.6), Formulation mode(14.7).
- When minimum display has been switched to 10d (See 9.2), the optimized Zero Range for 1d display may cause failure in the operation. Select optimal Zero Range value again when minimum display has been changed (See 13.5 for details).

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 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.

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.

To print or tare without waiting for stability: (Immediately operating mode)

Select menu item 39

To have printing or taring take place after stability is detected: (Waiting for stability detection)

Select menu item 40

Notes

• While the balance is waiting for stabilization, ---- is displayed.
• When the [O/T] key has been pressed,

“---” is displayed. At this occasion, press the [POWER] key if you desire to disable this function and abort taring.

- When the [PRINT] key has been pressed,

Once the communication symbol and the Stand-by symbol are lit, then stability detection is waited. The data will be output after stability is detected. If the [POWER] key is pressed during the waiting, the balance is brought to stand-by. The data will be printed upon stability in the next weighing.

• See 13.5 for details of Zero Range.
• See 11.3 for details of stability detection.

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 without 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.

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) (4158□) 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).

14.1 Solid Specific Gravity Measurement

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 ▼d 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.

Notes

- Up to four decimal places are displayed for density or specific gravity. Depending on the measurement conditions, not all digits are stable even the balance is working normally.

When it is not possible to stabilize the display in all 4 decimal places, you may change the minimum display by using the [UNIT] key.

How to change the minimum display in density (specific gravity) display When the result is displayed, press and keep holding down the [UNIT] key for about three seconds.

This changes the minimum display to 10d (d: original minimum display). Every time the same key operation is made, the minimum display changes and cycles in the order of “1d → 10d → 100d → 1000d → 1d →”.

• When loading the sample on the pan in the liquid, ensure that the entire sample is immersed in the liquid.
• The balance does not re-zero when the [O/T] key is pressed in this function.
• The dimensions of the below-weigh hook are shown in A-7.

14.2 Liquid Density Measurement

Liquid density measurement refers to the measurement of the weight of a reference solid of a known volume in air and in the sample liquid. Density of the liquid is calculated from these two values.

The display unit for liquid density is "d". The data output unit is DL.

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.

Span calibration with the built-in calibration weight or external weights can be performed between sets of measurements (Add-on standby).
• Not more than one of these seven functions can be set at a time. Setting the second one with the menu will automatically clear the previously set function; Auto Print(13.3), Auto Zero(13.4), Peak Hold(14.3), Interval Timer(14.4), Add-on mode(14.5), Animal Weighing mode(14.6), Formulation mode(14.7).

14. Application Functions

14.6 Animal Weighing

Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU

Designed for weighing live animals. Select menu item 53o activate Animal Weighing mode. Also, optimize the operational condition (See the following), “Stability Detection Band (11.3.1)” and “Timing of Stability Mark Illumination and Data Output (11.3.2)” depending on the size and movement of the weighed animal.

If you weigh rats or mice, refer to the below table showing the typical settings to obtain optimal accuracy and efficiency.

Recommended Settings for Rat and Mouse

Animal Operational condition(See below)	Stability detection band(See 11.3.1 for details)	Timing of Stability Mark Illumination and Data Output (See 11.3.2 for details)
Rat Cond3 4 counts (menu item ) “ES-FAst” (menu item )29	29	21a
Mouse Cond1 or 2 1 count (menu item = default setting)	27	“ES-FAst” (menu item 21a

Operational condition selection according to the level of animal's movement.

Depending on the level of animal's movement, operational condition (response and stability) can be optimized within Animal Weighing mode. At zero display in Animal Weighing mode, operational conditions can be switched using only the [UNIT] key. Select the optimal operational condition by observing the response and stability of measurement.

(Operational Conditions)

Operational condition Level of animal's movement Remarks
Cond 1	Calm
Cond 2	Moderate	Not suitable for weighing animal lighter than 50g.
Cond 3	Active	Not suitable for weighing animal lighter than 100g.

Cond 2 and Cond 3 are not suitable for weighing animals lighter than the respectively specified in the above. When lighter animals are weighed with these settings, the zero return after removing the animal may be very slow

(Switching operational conditions)

Every time the [UNIT] key is pressed at the zero display in Animal Weighing mode, the operational condition will be changed in the following order: [Cond 1][Cond 2][Cond 3][Cond 1] .

Upon [UNIT] key is pressed, the new operational condition is briefly displayed. Thereafter, the confirmation of the operational condition setting can be made observing the position of the ◀ symbol in the right end of the display.

(Operational condition setting check display)

(Display)	When Cond 3 is selected
	When Cond 2 is selected
	When Cond 1 is selected

(Operation)

The Animal symbol is illuminated when this mode is active. Also a triangular symbol to indicate the currently set operational condition is illuminated in the right end of the display (See the above).

1 Load the weighing vessel and press the [O/T] key to zero the display.
2 Load the sample (animal) with a mass more than 50 times the Zero Range.
3 When the measurement reaches stability criteria of Animal Weighing, the weighed value is automatically output.
4 Unload the animal or press the [O/T] key.
5 When the mass display becomes less than 10 times the Zero Range and stability is detected, automatic zeroing occurs.

The mass of any residue remaining on the balance (excrement or fur) is canceled and returns to zero display.

Start weighing from the above step 2 for the next animal.

Notes

- On the premise of weighing animated objects, the stability detection band is automatically extended in the Animal Weighing mode. Reproducibility of the measurement data is slightly less than with other modes. If a larger stability detection band is selected with the menu (See 11.3.1), stability detection is more readily made and the output of measurement result usually becomes faster. However, the accuracy may become poorer. When changing stability detection band, select according to the specific measurement's requirements on accuracy, observing the reproducibility on the test run.

- If the balance is slow to automatically return to the zero display, set a larger Zero Range value.

- Weighing unit cannot be changed when Animal Weighing is on.

• See 13.5 for details of Zero Range.

• See 11.3 for details of stability detection.

- When Menu Lock (7.5.3) is activated, operational condition of Animal Weighing is also locked.

- When Menu reset (7.5.2) is performed, operational condition setting of Animal Weighing is also returned to the default (Cond 1).

- Pretaring Value (13.7) function cannot be used with Animal Weighing mode.

- Small animal bucket set (option, see A-3.) is recommended for weighing small animals such as mice

- When the [POWER] key is pressed in the Animal Weighing standby state, the power standby state is initiated.

- Animal Weighing mode setting can be cleared without menu operation, by pressing the [POWER] key for about three seconds.

- Not more than one of these seven functions can be set at a time. Setting the second one with the menu will automatically clear the previously set function; Auto Print(13.3), Auto Zero(13.4), Peak Hold(14.3), Interval Timer(14.4), Add-on mode(14.5), Animal Weighing mode(14.6), Formulation mode(14.7).

- When minimum display has been switched to 10d (See 9.2), the optimized Zero Range for 1d display may cause failure in the operation (e.g. Data is not automatically output as animal is placed). Select optimal Zero Range value again when minimum display has been changed (See 13.5 for details).

14.7 Formulation Mode

This function is convenient for weighing in the components of a formulation. The mass of each component is displayed and stored Every time a component is added and [PRINT] key is pressed, the mass of that component is output through RS-232C or DATA I/O interface and the display will be automatically zeroed. When all the components have been weighed, the masses are summed up and the total mass is displayed and output by pressing [POWER] key.

Select menu item 51

(Operation)

1 When Formulation Mode is ON, the display stands at Formulation stand-by status upon entering the mass display. Add-on symbol, Memory symbol and Stand-by symbol are illuminated in the display.
Place a container (if used) and press [O/T] key to tare the display.
Note that taring with [O/T] key is not accepted after [PRINT] key is pressed in the following step 2 until [POWER] key is pressed in the step 5.
2 Press [PRINT] key. When external device is connected, “---- FORMULATION MODE ----” will be output.
3 Load the first component and press [PRINT] key. Upon stability is detected at a value higher than five times Zero Range, the mass value will be output with a numbering "CMP001 =". The display will be automatically zeroed after that.
4 Repeat step 3 until all the components have been weighed.
5 Press [POWER] key.

The total mass will be displayed and output to external devices with a remark "TOTAL =".

6 Clear the pan.

Start the next set of measurements from the step 1.

Output example: 1st component is 0.5361g, 2nd is 0.5422g, 3rd is 0.4488g.

$$ \begin{array}{l} \text {---Formulation Mode---} \ \text {CMP001 =} \ \text {CMP002 =} \ \text {CMP003 =} \ \text {TOTAL =} \ \text {1.5271g} \end{array} $$

15.2.2 Data Format

The detailed information on the standard format for Shimadzu electronic balances (Menu item 7.7 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
Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	1	0	1
ASCII code	2DH	20H 20	H 31H	38H 36	H 2E	H 36	H 35H	67H 20	0H 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: Code for delimiter.

(2) 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.

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	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	1	0	1
ASCII code	20H	20H 20H	20H 20H	20H 4FH	4CH	20H 20H	20H 20H	20H 0DH
Data						O	L		C	/	R

1 1 2

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).

(i) Output with stability information

(iv) When the delimiter "C/R+L/F" is selected

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: PRINT ... The same operation as pressing the [PRINT] key

(2) 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). ...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.

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: # = 2.56 < CR>

Example 7: #=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 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.

15. 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.

graph TD
    A["Personal computer IFB-IFB"] --> B["UW or UX [j"] UW_or_UX["i"] UW_or_UX["a"]]
    B --> C["..."]
    C --> D["Output"]

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.

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.

On this process, the name smaller than the sent command by one, i.e. "[i] ", is returned.

4 This procedure completes the setting to the Multi-Connection mode.

[α]UNIT Same as the operation of pressing the [UNIT] key of the balance “α”.

[α]CAL Same operation as sending the CAL command to the balance “α”.

[α]UNIT+ Same as the state of holding down the [UNIT] key of the balance “α”.

Format of Output Data from the Balance

The output data from the balance “ ” is performed with the following format.

"[α]" data

Format of the load data is the same as the normal output form (Format EB type).

Operation is not guaranteed for the data containing characters, such as printing of date, time, and calibration document etc.

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 97-98 (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 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.

15.3 Communication Setting

15.3.1 Overview

This menu is used to set the specifications for communication between the balance and a personal computer or electronic printer.

Notes

• This menu affects both the RS-232C and DATA I/O at the same time. For the instrument to be connected to the DATA I/O connector such as an electronic printer, select the communication setting of the balance to the default settings, which are menu items 76 77,83 89 92 94 □ However, select WindowsDirect setting (6.2.1) and follow the manual of the electronic printer when using EP-80 or EP-50WIN Electronic Printer simultaneously with WindowsDirect.
• When WindowsDirect function is set by the procedure described in 6.2.1, the communication settings are the same as selecting menu items 74,77,81,89,92,97, □.

15.3.2 Handshaking

Handshaking determines whether the peripheral equipment can receive communication data from the balance. This function does not relay the status of the balance to the peripheral equipment.

The balance is able to receive as long as there is space in the receiving buffer of the balance. This function operates once “oFF” is displayed, operation in other states is not guaranteed.

When the balance output is retained by handshaking, the display of the balance is locked. Determine the specifications for handshaking.

To have software handshaking not performed, select menu item 73

To have software handshaking performed as the following, select menu item 74 After the balance receives X-OFF (13H), the balance output is retained. After the balance receives X-ON (11H), the balance output is initiated.

To select “.” as outputted decimal point, select menu item number 72a ECP-Pr

To select “,” as outputted decimal point, select menu item number72toECP-Cn”

Note

The setting made here in “Decimal Point Symbol in Output Data” will not be cleared with Menu reset (See 7.5.2).

16. Maintenance and Transportation

16.1 Maintenance

Use a soft damp cloth containing a neutral detergent to clean the balance.

Avoid using organic solvents, chemicals, or dusting sprays as they may damage the coatings of the balance or the display panel.

Attach the protective in-use cover (standard accessory) when the balance is used in an environment where it is susceptible to being soiled.

The pan can be removed and washed with water. Verify that the pan is completely dry before replacing it on the balance.

16.2 Moving the Balance

To carry the balance, hold the balance firmly with both hands.

To transport the balance, use the shipping carton used to deliver the balance.

For UW balances:

Before placing the balance into the shipping carton, remove the pan and pan supporter caps and verify that the transportation screws in the bottom of the balance have been tightened clockwise until they stop. Refer to 4.3.

For UX balances:

Remove the pan and pan supporter caps and place the balance in the packing case as it was shipped.

Caution

Failing to tighten the transportation screws, placing the balance on its side when turning the transportation screws, or failing to remove pan supporter caps before placing the balance upside down may cause serious damage to the mechanism.

Note

Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU:

Span calibration must be newly performed with the built-in calibration weight after the balance has been moved and re-installed, before using the balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU.

17.3 Troubleshooting

Symptom Probable cause(s) Countermeasure
Nothing is displayed. • The	AC adapter is disconnected.• The breaker of the room is off.• The voltage is wrong.	Check the power and connect AC adapter correctly. (See 4.1)
“OL” or “-OL” is displayed.	Transportation screws haven’t been loosened.(UW only)	Turn them anti-clockwise until they stop. (See 4.3)
	The pan is displaced. Place the pan properly.
	Pan supporter caps are not installed.	Install pan supporter caps. (See 4.3)
	The load on the pan is too large. Use balance within its capacity.
Display does not change when pan is loaded.	Pan is displaced. Place the pan properly.
Display fluctuates.	Affected by vibration or air flow.	Install the balance at a proper site. (See 4.1)Try changing environment settings. ( See 11.)
	Protective in-use cover touches the pan.	Adhere the cover firm to the balance body. (See 4.3)
The weighed result is not accurate.	Span calibration has not been done.	Calibrate it properly. (See 10.)
	Taring has not been done.	Tare before weighing. (See 5.1)
Does not display the unit desired to use.	The unit has not been set up	Set it up in advance. (See 12.)
Menu item selection is rejected.	Menu Lock is ON.	Release Menu Lock. (See 7.5.3)
WindowsDirect does not work.		See “6. WindowsDirect Function”
An error code is shown.		See “17.2 Error Display”

17.4 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Check

By selecting the whole lighting mode, the LCD can be easily inspected upon power is connected.

To have the display stop and hold at whole lighting after power is connected, select the menu item 37

When the display holds, press the [O/T] key to proceed to the mass display.

To have the display stop and proceeds to the mass display automatically, select the menu item 38.

(Refer to chapter 7 for menu item selection.)

If the display is not the same as the figure in 2.3, contact your Shimadzu representative.

Appendices

A-1. Menu Map

• Pressing [CAL] key moves to the next menu in the same hierarchy. ( ↓ in menu map)
• Pressing [O/T] key moves to the menu of one hierarchy down. (→ in menu map)
  When no menu exists in the menu of one hierarchy down, it is fixed.
• Pressing [POWER] key returns to the menu of one hierarchy up. (← direction in menu map)

Refer to 7.3 for menu item selection.

Important Note on Menu Item Selection

Even the desired menu item is reached and displayed, it is not yet set unless Stability mark (→) is illuminated with it. Do not fail to press [O/T] key to put Stability mark before returning to the mass display.

A-6. 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 gram-display 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.

Cornerload Performance

⑤ ④ ① ② ③

1 Allow the balance to warm up sufficiently by turning ON the power and leaving it at the gram-display at least two hours before starting the performance checks.

2 Use a weight that is approximately 1/4 of the balance capacity and place it sequentially at five different positions on the pan in the order shown. Record the readings in each of the five positions.

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.

Stabilizing Display / Faster Response for Filling

- 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 "EA-vibr") → 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.

Hints on Fully-automatic Span Calibration(UW series only)

Fully-automatic span calibration PSC

Default setting of PSC is ON. Upon detection of temperature change, span calibration is automatically performed to maintain accuracy. The Weight symbol links prior to fully-automatic calibration.

How to skip a PSC calibration

Press [POWER] key while Weight symbol blinking.

How to switch off PSC

(From mass display) Press [CAL] repeatedly till Weight symbol is blinking → Press [O/T] (“-I/EATP” 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).

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) Press the [CAL] key once. "I-CAL" is displayed.

(2) Press the [O/T] key. After "i-CAL3" ... "i-CAL1", and "SEI", "CAL End" are displayed indicating the completion of span calibration, the mass-display will return.

(1) Press the [CAL] key once. "E-CAL" is displayed.
(2) Press the [O/T] key.
The value of the correct calibration weight to be loaded is displayed and blinks.
(3) Load the indicated calibration weight and press the [O/T] key.
(4) When the zero display blinks, unload the weight from the pan and press the [O/T] key. "SEt" is displayed briefly to indicate completion of span calibration. Then the mass-display will return.

CAL-based menu control flowchart with four groups, showing key states (user, menu, display) and their functions like blinking, target mode, and stability metrics.

Cannot enter the menu?

"LoCKEd" is displayed and returns to mass display when menu access is attempted? → Menu is locked. How to remove Menu Lock

Press [POWER] (It goes STAND-BY) → Disconnect power cable → Connect power cable again (Displays proceed and it stands at "oFF") → Press [CAL] (Displays proceed: "RELEASE" then "oFF") → Press [POWER] (It returns to the mass display) (Refer to 7.5.3 for detail.)

Refer to main manual 7.3 for menu item selection.

Important Note on Menu Item Selection!

Even the desired menu item is reached and displayed, it is not yet set unless Stability mark ( ) is illuminated with it. Do not fail to press [O/T] key to put Stability mark before returning to the mass display.
