1. Introduction
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Shimadzu AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY Series analytical balance. Shimadzu

confidently offers this high-performance analytical balance, the result of over 80 years of experience in
manufacturing precision balances. While providing rapid and accurate mass measurement, reliability
has been improved even more by employing the UniBloc cell, introduced for use in electronic balances
by Shimadzu in 1989. These Shimadzu analytical balances provide WindowsDirect functions for trans-
fer of measurement results to personal computer without installing software. This and other various
functions can be used to meet the operator’s objectives. Also, the AUW-D/AUW/AUX series offers con-
sistently accurate measurement without calibration work, with temperature detection and time setting,
and the built-in motor-driven calibration weight that performs fully-automatic span calibration.
In order to make full use of the functions and performance provided in the AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY
series balance, please read this instruction manual before using the balance and keep the manual for
future reference.
This manual has notation for AUW-D series, AUW series, AUX series, AUY series, combined as AUW-
D/AUW/AUX/AUY series (or notations two to three series). Note that the menu settings and the calibra-
tion display examples shown in this manual are mainly for the AUW220 model. On different models,
the numerical values and other items may differ.
The model name can be found in the label placed in front of the weighing chamber. The alphabets in
model name indicate its series name. AUW220D and AUW120D are called AUW-D series.

4.1 Installation Site

(1) Power Requirements
Select an installation site that is near a power source to allow the use of the attached AC
adapter or a site where the special accessory battery pack can be properly used. Verify that the
power voltage conforms to that indicated on the AC adapter.
(2) Installation site
Caution
The balance must be installed in a proper place to ensure safe and accu-
rate measurement. Avoid the following types of sites.
• Sites with air current from air conditioners, ventila-

tors, open doors, or windows.
• Sites with vibration.
• Sites in direct sunlight.
(Continued)
7
4. Installation
• Sites with extreme temperature changes, or high/

low temperature, or high/low humidity.
• Sites near flammable or corrosive gases.

• Sites with dust, electromagnetic waves, or magnetic fields.
Install on a sturdy and level tabletop. Stone is recommended. Rather than the middle of the room, the
edges and corners are generally appropriate for vibration-free measurement. The optimal environmen-
tal conditions are 20°C±2°C with a relative humidity of 45 ∼ 60%RH.
Caution
The glass doors open backwards beyond the rear end of the main body.
Make certain enough space is saved to allow the doors fully open.
Note
Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU:
The balance must be used within the temperature range indicated on the
verification label.
4.2 Unpacking and Delivery Inspection
Caution
Analytical balance is a precision instrument. Make certain not to allow any
impact when placing it on the table.

Note
Legal regulations require a verified balance be sealed. This control seal is a
self-destructive adhesive label. This seal is irreparably damaged invalidat-
ing the verification, if you attempt to remove it. The balance must then be
re-verified before it is used for legal measurements.

4.4 Turning On the Power

1 Insert the AC adapter plug in to the DC IN con-
nector on the back of the balance. Place the AC

adapter cable as shown in figure and hold it with
the adapter cable holder.
2 Plug the AC adapter to the power outlet. After

the balance performs a self check, calibration will
be automatically executed. During this process,
the display will change as follows. “CHE 5”, “CHE
Clip 4” ...... “CHE 0”, “CAL 2”, “CAL 1”, “CAL 0”, “CAL-
End”, “oFF” (This span calibration immediately
after power up can be aborted by pressing the
[POWER] key, however at least one span calibra-
tion is necessary before use. The AUY series
does not perform calibration and the display
showing “CAL...” will not appear.)
Note
A power cable may be necessary to connect
the AC adapter to the power source, depend-
ing on the type of the AC adapter
.

3 Press the [POWER] key. After all displays

appear, the gram (g) display appears. Also, the
display backlight illuminates (AUW series only).
4 Pressing the [POWER] key again turns on the

standby symbol and puts the balance in standby
(warm up) status. (For AUW-D/AUW/AUX series,
the current time is displayed according to the
built-in clock settings in 8. For the AUW series,
the backlight will turn off.)

4. Installation
4.5 Span Calibration

Note
Span calibration must be performed once the balance is installed and
before using the balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU. The
balance must be connected to power and warmed up for at least one hour
prior to span calibration and use as a legal measuring instrument.
When intending to use the AUW-D series in the small range (minimum dis-
play d=0.01mg), warm it up for at least four hours.
After installation, be certain to complete warm up and span calibration. During span calibration, the bal-
ance must be left in a very stable condition. To do this, leave the power on at standby (warm up) for an
hour or more before performing calibration. When using the AUW-D series in the small range (mini-
mum display 0.01mg), leave the power on for at least four hours. Also, perform calibration in conditions
without people entering and leaving the room and without air flow or vibration. The AUW series is
equipped with display backlight. Use of the backlight requires warm up in mass display such as "g", not
in standby state. The default setting of backlight is ON.
For AUW-D/AUW/AUX Series (No operation is required)

Fully-automatic span calibration by PSC
The default setting is ON for PSC, which performs fully-automatic span calibrations. When PSC is ON,
span calibration is automatically performed, if necessary, when the gram display first appears after the
balance is turned ON (See 4.4). When PSC operates, the weight symbol starts blinking about two
minutes beforehand for notification. During operation, the display will automatically change and the
motor sound of the weight loading system is heard. In order to ensure proper PSC operation, prevent
vibrations and air flow. When gram display returns after completion of span calibration by PSC, mea-
surement can begin according to 5. Basic Operation. (Fully-automatic span calibration by PSC is set to
ON by default. Also, span calibration with built-in calibration weight is set as preset calibration method
by default. For other methods, please refer to 10. Calibration. The AUW-D/AUW series also allow
Clock-CAL function to perform span calibrations regularly by time settings.
Note
For accurate measurement, perform span calibration again when the bal-
ance is moved or when the temperature of the installation site has
changed. It is recommended that either PSC or Clock-CAL be set to ON so
that the necessary calibrations will operate automatically.

Note
• Except when placing or removing items or calibration weights to and
from the weighing chamber, keep the glass doors closed unless other-
wise described in this manual.
• Air convection causes measurement error if the temperatures of the
weighed item and the chamber are different. In order to avoid this,
equalize the temperatures by leaving the item in the extra space within
the chamber before weighing.

5.2 Changing the Unit Display

Pressing the [UNIT] key switches display between the registered units, piece counting and specific

gravity measurement modes. The units other than 'g', 'pcs', '%' and 'ct' are not registered in the default
settings.
Note
The units to be used must be registered as described in 12.Units. If the
power is turned off and turned on again, the weighing unit will be 'g'. (The
registered units remain.)
5.3 Switching the Weighing Range (AUW-D series only)

In the dual-range balance AUW-D series, when the power is connected and turned on, the balance is
set to the “small range” with a minimum display of 0.01mg. To switch to the “large range” with a mini-
mum display of 0.1mg, press the [1d/10d] key (except for AUW-D series, this key has a different func-
tion. 9.2) . When measurement exceeds the small range capacity (82g for AUW220D, 42g for
AUW120D) during use of the small range, display automatically switches to the large range. In this
case, taring with [O/T] key in the large range will fix the range, and reducing the load on the pan within
the small range capacity will not return it to the small range. [O/T] key has to be pressed again, within
the small range, to resume the small range display.

Large range
17
5.4 For Stable Measurement in Semi-micro Range

(AUW-D series only)
The small range (semi-micro range, minimum display 0.01mg) of AUW-D series dual range balances
produces excellent response and stability. However, weighing in the 0.01mg range is generally more
subject to the environment and how measurements are performed compared to the 0.1mg range.
When using the small range of AUW-D series, observe the following instructions in order to obtain the
best result.
Avoid air current from the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is in operation, the temperature of
the air current from it has a large difference from the room temperature. Air current and presence of dif-
ferent temperatures both make the measurement unstable.
The temperature of the balance does not change as fast as the room temperature. Changing room
temperature prior to measurement causes temperature difference remaining for a long period. Even
without direct blow of air current, contact of air of different temperatures generate air convection in the
weighing chamber and result in unstable display.
• Leave the glass doors open while not in use. This prevents temperature gap between weighing
chamber and ambience.
18

Avoid the location where vibration from any machinery is transmitted.
Corners of a room are less subject to influence of vibration.
Do not use the door of the room. Do not allow other people enter, exit or move in the room.
Open glass door minimum. Use long tweezers etc. Equalize the temperature of the samples to the
chamber’s.
Remove influence of the heat emitted from human body and the heat from the sample to be weighed.
Equalize the temperature of the object to be weighed to that of balance weighing chamber (If possible
keep the object in the extra space of the chamber prior to measurement.) Use a long pair of tweezers,
spatula or other instruments to keep hands away from the weighing chamber. Open the glass door as
little as possible when loading / unloading.

6. WindowsDirect Function
6.1 What is WindowsDirect?
The AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY series can output data directly to a personal computer running Lotus 1-2-
3, Excel or other Windows® applications, as if the numeric value in the balance display were typed
from the keyboard. This function is called WindowsDirect. It uses components that are already part of
the Windows OS, and does not need communication software to be installed. Combination with Auto
Print function (13.4) is also possible to further enhance productivity. WindowsDirect does not allow the
computer to send commands to the balance . In order to control the balances, programming with com-
mand codes (14.2.3) is required.
6.2 WindowsDirect Settings

Simple settings are made for the balance and the computer. Connection is by RS-232C cable specified
by Shimadzu.
6.2.1 Setting the Balance
1 From the mass display, press the [MENU] key

twice. “SEtwin |” appears.
2 Press the [O/T] key. Now all the communication

settings for WindowsDirect are made. After setting,
the stability mark appears. At this time, pressing
the [O/T] key again unsets the WindowsDirect and
returns the communication settings to the default
settings.
(Example) 3 Press the [POWER] key to go to STAND-BY,

then unplug the AC adapter cable from the bal-
ance. This is necessary after the above setting.
20
Notes
• When data is outputted to the computer by WindowsDirect function, the
effect is the same as “typing the numerical value displayed on the bal-
ance and pressing Enter key on the computer’s keyboard”. If you wish
the effect of “pressing → key” instead of “pressing Enter key” on the
computer’s keyboard”, select “SEtwin -” in the above step 1, instead of
“SEtwin |”. The “SEtwin -” setting menu display appears when the
[MENU] key is pressed one more time from “SEtwin |”.
(When not set) (When set)
• The communication parameters selected by “SEtwin -” or “SEtwin |” set-

tings here are listed in the table in 14.3.2.
• After WindowsDirect setting has been made using the “SEtwin -” or
“SEtwin |” setting, individual communications parameters can be changed
using the Communications Settings menu (14.3) for other modes of
communication. In this case, the (stability mark) may still appear if
you go to the “SEtwin -” or “SEtwin |” display but WindowsDirect may not
operate. To restore WindowsDirect optimal settings then, first remove
the stability mark by pressing the [O/T] key. This restores the default
Communications settings. Then, reset “SEtwin -” or “SEtwin |” following
the procedure described in 6.2.1.
6.2.2 Connecting the RS-232C Cable

6.3 Troubleshooting WindowsDirect Function
Notes
• This function may not operate on a computer on which a normal U.S.
version of Microsoft Windows®* does not operate. Some types of per-
sonal computers may not be able to use this function or some features
may be limited. Shimadzu does not guarantee that this function can be
used on all computers without any problems currently or in the future.
• Shimadzu is not liable for any direct or indirect problems caused by this
function. It is recommended that important data or programs on your
computer be backed-up before using this function. For the operation of
Windows®* or the computer, refer to commercial tutorials or the appro-
priate instruction manual.
• It is necessary to have the “Accessibility Options” function of Windows®*
installed on the PC. To install “Accessibility Options”, select “Start” →
“Setting” → “Control panel” → “Add /Remove Programs” and open the
“Windows® Setup” tab. Place a check mark on “Accessibility Options.”
For more information, see the Windows®* instruction manual.
• When “Support Serialkey device” is selected in Accessability Options,
software which uses the same RS-232C port on that computer does not
operate correctly, until Serialkey support is discontinued. If another
device (an external modem, plotter or etc.) is to be connected, remove
the check mark placed on “Support Serialkey device” and re-activate
Windows® after the balance is disconnected.
When the WindowsDirect Function Does Not Operate At All:

• For some notebook computers, it is possible to shut off the RS-232C port for energy saving pur-
poses. Set the computer so that the RS-232C port can be used.
• Try different COM port settings from 1 to 4. Re-start Windows®* after each setting change.
• Verify that the correct RS-232C cable is being used.
For Windows® 98 and higher, try setting the computer again without restarting.
For Windows® 95 Version 4.00.950B, see A-7., “Supplemental Notes on Windows Direct”.
Communication through LAN by other applications may interfere with Serialkey device set-up. Try with-
out LAN connection.
Windows®* = Windows® 95, Windows® 98, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, and higher.
25
When the WindowsDirect Function Intermittently Malfunctions:

• Use a communication speed of 300bps. Depending on the processing ability of the computer, this
function may operate incorrectly if communication speed is too high.
• Send the next data only after the current one is displayed on the screen. Depending on the process-
ing ability of the PC, this function may operate incorrectly if the interval of data transmission is too
short.
• Do not touch the keyboard or the mouse while the balance is transmitting data.
• Stop the data transmission and confirm that no data is entering the computer before touching the
keyboard or the mouse.
Notes
• This function may generate incorrect data when the displayed value is
not a weight value (i.e. error code or time).
• The unit designation is not transmitted. The balance display unit
selected and the unit required by the application should be set the
same.
• This function may operate incorrectly depending on the settings of vari-
ous lock keys of the keyboard such as the NUMLOCK or cursor key
lock. Change the state of the lock and function keys on the computer
keyboard.
• Peripheral devices connected to the DATA I/O such as Electronic Printer
EP-50 cannot be used with this function.
• When this function is used, a command cannot be sent from the periph-
eral device or computer to the balance.
• Set the data formats, such as decimal places and units, according to
each application.

10. Calibration
10. Calibration
10.1 What is calibration?
10.1.1 The Necessity of Calibration
Calibration is required to accurately weigh items with an electric balance. Calibration must be per-
formed in these conditions:
• When the location of the installation site is changed (even when moved within the same room).
• When the room temperature changes.
• Also, daily calibration before use is recommended.
The AUW-D/AUW/AUX series are set to operate fully-automatic span calibration PSC by default. The
AUY series requires span calibration using external weights.
The Essential Role of Span Calibration for the Use of Electronic Balances
The measurement desired when using an electronic balance is the measurement of mass. However, an elec-
tronic balance cannot detect mass directly. Instead, it detects the weight (the weight is the Earth’s attraction on
the item, gravity) and displays the mass as computed from the weight. The proportion of mass to weight
depends on the gravitational acceleration at the location. By placing calibration weights of accurately known
mass on the electronic balance, the corresponding weight for that mass can be recorded. This allows the mass
of any item that is subsequently weighed to be computed from its weight and accurately displayed. The record-
ing and setting of weight-mass relation is known as span calibration.
The necessity can be recognized this way for example, the gravitational acceleration in the Japanese cities of
Kyoto and Tokyo are 979.70775 cm/s2 and 979.76319 cm/s2 respectively, with a difference of about 0.0057%.
This means that if a balance is calibrated in Kyoto and the balance is moved to Tokyo, an object of 100.0000g
mass will exhibit 100.0057g on the balance, generating an error of two digits.
Always perform span calibration at the installation site before using the balance to correct for this effect.
In addition, electronic balances use a permanent magnet and a coil in their weight detecting system. Even with
compensation, a permanent magnet generates a sensitivity difference of up to ± 2ppm (two millionths) with every
1 C fluctuation in temperature. When measuring for example, a 100g object, this difference amounts to ±2mg,
which means a possible error on the final two digits displayed on the electronic balance. If the temperature
changes by 5°C after calibration, an object of 100.0000g may appear to increase to a maximum of 100.0010g.
When there is a change in temperature, always calibrate again for accurate measurement.
Note
verification label.
When PSC (refer to 10.3.2), fully-automatic span calibration, is not acti-
vated, operator must carry out span calibration (refer to 10.2) upon blinking
of the Weight Symbol.

10.1.2 Types of Calibration
Terms used in this manual:
Span calibration ...... Adjustment of the balance sensitivity using two weight values, zero
and near-capacity
Calibration test ...... Comparing the current calibration mass reading to the calibration
mass reading after the last span calibration.
Calibration ...... Specifies both span calibration and calibration test.
The AUW-D/AUW/AUX series have a built-in, motor-driven calibration weight. This weight allows easy
key calibration operations (i-CAL, i-tESt) without having to maintain external weights and manually load
and unload weights. These models are also equipped with functions for performing fully-automatic
span calibration whenever necessary. The two functions are PSC, for executing automatic span cali-
bration made necessary by temperature changes, and Clock-CAL, for performing automatic span cali-
bration at set times. Calibration can also be done with external calibration weights (E-CAL, E-tESt).
Calibration of the built-in calibration weight with external calibration weights (PCAL) is also possible.
Calibration of the AUY series must be done with external calibration weights as this series does not
have a built-in calibration weight.

10.3.2 PSC Fully-automatic span calibration (AUW-D/AUW/AUX series only)
Using a temperature sensor, this function performs fully-automatic span calibration with the built-in
weight when a significant temperature change is detected.
If PSC turned ON, when there is a temperature change that would influence sensitivity, span calibra-
tion executes automatically to maintain the sensitivity of the balance. Span Calibration executes auto-
matically in mass display mode under any of the following circumstances.
(1) When there is a change in the surrounding temperature
(2) When about four hours has passed since the previous calibration.
(3) After either condition (1) or (2) above has been met during warm up at stand-by status, when
the balance is switched to mass display mode.
In mass display mode, when any of the conditions above has been met, the weight symbol will blink for
about two minutes as notification of span calibration before calibration begins.
The sensitivity before and after span calibration is slightly different. Also, no measurements can be
made during span calibration. When you wish to avoid entering span calibration in the middle of one
round of measurements, pressing the [POWER] key when the weight symbol is blinking will abort the
automatic span calibration.
Note
verification label.
When PSC is not activated, operator must carry out span calibration (refer

11. Environment Settings

11.1 What are environmental settings?
The response and other settings can be changed to adapt to the installation environment (for example,
unavoidable vibrations or air currents) or measurement uses (for example, depending on whether solid
objects, liquids, or powders are to be measured).
11.2 Settings for Stability and Response

Generally, signal processing for greater stability slows the response and processing for higher
response reduces stability. The AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY series are designed to have capability to pro-
vide both good response and high stability.
Most measurements can be done with the default settings, which is Standard mode. Depending on the
environment and the objectives of using the balance, Anti-convection mode and High-stability mode
are also available. The currently set mode is easily checked by pressing the [CAL] key three times
from mass display to produce the settings check display (see 7.4.1).
11.2.1 Standard mode

This is the default setting. Use this mode unless stability
or response is affected by environmental factors.
From the mass display, pressing the [CAL] key repeat-
edly until “Stnd” is displayed. Pressing the [O/T] key
Settings Check Display
here sets the mode to Standard mode.
Setting of this mode can be confirmed only in settings
check display (see 7.4.1).
(When standard mode is selected)
11.2.2 Anti-convection mode

When ambient temperature changes (such as those
due to air-conditioner cycling) are unavoidable during
measurements, convection may occur in the weighing
chamber and cause display fluctuation after the stabil-
ity mark appears. The small range (minimum display
of 0.01mg) of the AUW-D series is more likely to dem-
onstrate this effect.
55
Anti-convection mode adjusts the timing of appear-

ance of the stability mark. Note that when Anti-convec-
tion mode is selected, the stability mark will take
longer to appear.
Settings Check Display From the mass display, press the [CAL] key repeat-
edly until “ConvECt” is displayed. Pressing the [O/T]
key here sets it to Anti-convection mode.

mode is selected)
check display (see 7.4.1).
11.2.3 High-stability Mode

The AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY series is designed to
minimize the effects of vibrations or air currents. How-
ever, if it must be set up in a location with poor condi-
tions, use this function to reduce the effects of
Settings Check Display vibration or air current even further. The response will
slow slightly but the display will be stabilized.
(When high-stability From the mass display, press the [CAL] key repeat-
mode is selected)
edly until “Hi-Stb” is displayed. Press the [O/T] key
here to enter High-stability mode. Setting of this mode
can be confirmed only in settings check display (see
7.4.1).
11.2.4 Pouring Mode (fast response)

When using the balance for dosing or filling a specified quantity, Pouring mode will give sufficiently fast
response. Note that the display will become very sensitive and unstable.
Pouring mode allows adjustments to the surrounding environment, too. You can specify the environ-
ment of the installation site choosing from “normal environment”, “stable environment”, and “unstable
environment”.
Press the [CAL] key repeatedly from the mass display
until “Pouring” appears.
Pressing the [O/T] key here sets it to Pouring mode

11.3 Stability Detection Band

The appearance of the Stability Mark ( ) indicates that the mass display has been stabilized. The
condition for judging stability is user-selectable. When the stability detection band is set to 1, the stabil-
ity mark appears when the mass display stays within 1 count for a set period of time. The stability
detection band setting may be selected from three levels: 1 count, 5 counts and 10 counts. The default
setting is 1 count. One count is equal to 0.1mg when the minimum display is 0.1mg.

13.2 Solid Specific Gravity Measurement

Solid specific gravity measurement computes the density (or specific gravity) of a solid sample by mea-
suring its weight in air and in a liquid of known density (or specific gravity).
The following is the procedure when using a hanging pan, a tank and a table allowing below balance
weighing, prepared by the operator. Measurement of density or specific gravity can be done even more
easily with an optional specific gravity measurement kit. When using the kit, follow the instruction man-
ual provided with the lkit.
1 Remove the below-weigh hook cover on the

base of the balance, after removing the two fixing
screws.
2 Hang the user-prepared hanging pan from the

below-weigh hook and sink that hanging pan into
the liquid of the tank.
3 Register “,d” (the solid specific gravity) as a

unit, referring to 12.1.
4 Input the density of the liquid to be used for

solid specific gravity measurement.
(a) Press the [CAL] key repeatedly from the mass
display until the “SEttinG” appears. Press the
[O/T] key. The display shows “CAL dEF”.
(b) Press the [CAL] key repeatedly until “LSG SEt”

appear when nothing is on the pan, which is nor-
mal.
10 To make the next measurement, unload the

pans, press [CAL], and begin again at Step 5.
Notes
• Although the density display shows 4 decimal places, not all of these
digits will stabilize depending on the conditions.
• When the items to be measured are placed in the liquid, they must be
completely immersed and must not have bubbles adhering to the sur-
face of the sample or the immersed hanging pan.
65
13.3 Liquid Density Measurement

Liquid density measurement computes the density of a liquid by measuring the weight of a sinker
(solid) with a known volume in air and in the liquid.
The following is the procedure when using a hanging pan, a tank and a table allowing below balance
weighing, prepared by the operator. Measurement of density can be done even more easily with an
optional specific gravity measurement kit. When using the kit, follow the instruction manual provided
with the kit.
1 Remove the below-weigh hook cover on the

base of the balance, after removing the two fixing
screws.

pans, press [CAL], and begin again at Step 5.
Notes
• Although the density display shows 4 decimal places, not all of these
digits will stabilize depending on the conditions.
• When the sinker is placed in the sample liquid, it must be completely
immersed and must not have bubbles adhering to its surface or the
immersed hanging pan.
67
13.4 Auto Print

Using Auto Print allows measurement results to be automatically output via the RS-232C connector or
DATA I/O connector without pressing the [PRINT] key with every measurement. This function can be
combined with WindowsDirect (see 6.). When Auto Print is activated, if a sample weighing 10 counts or
more is placed on the pan while the mass displayed is within ±5 counts of zero, the result is output via
the RS-232C cable or DATA I/O connector automatically upon display stabilization.
Subsequent sample measurement results will output automatically, if the previous sample is first
removed from the pan and the display returns to within ±3 counts of zero.
(Example) 1 Press the [CAL] key repeatedly from the mass

display until “FUnC.SEL” appears. Press the
[O/T] key. The display will show “CAL”.

Notes
• The [O/T] key can always be used for taring.
• In interval timer standby status, pressing the [POWER] key puts the bal-
ance in power standby status.
• Using the interval timer function for long periods of time may generate
measurement errors due to drift of the balance.
• Short interval settings may not operate properly, depending on the capa-
bility of the device receiving the data. In this case, increase the length of
the interval.
• During use of the interval timer function, keep PSC (10.3.2) and Clock-
CAL (10.3.3) functions off.
• Do not perform any type of calibration while using interval timer function.
70
13.6 Add-on Mode

This function is convenient for making many measurements of minute samples. In this mode with any
unit, when the displayed value is within ±5 counts of zero, and an item of mass of 10 counts or more is
placed on the pan, that value is output via the RS-232C cable or DATA I/O connector upon display stabil-
ity and automatic taring is done each time afterwards. This is repeated newly every subsequent time a
new sample is placed on the balance. (In the AUW/AUX/AUY series, when the minimum display digit has
been eliminated by pressing the [1d/10d] key, the evaluation is based on the count number displayed
before.) Pressing the [POWER] key stops the Add-on function. When stopped, the measurements up to
that point are summed up and displayed. When the optional printer or computer are connected, the star-
tup is printed out as “--------- ADDON MODE ---------” and upon stop, the total is printed out as “TOTAL=”.
(Example) 1 Press the [CAL] key repeatedly from the mass

display until “FUnC.SEL” appears. Press the [O/T]
key. The display will show “CAL”.

14. Communication with Peripheral

Devices
14.1 Electronic Printer EP-80
The AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY series allows connection to Electronic Printer EP-80.
When using EP-80, follow these procedures for connecting to the balance.
1 Set the communication status of the balance to

F1 (standard settings 1). (See 14.3.2)
2 When using a computer as well, set to timer

handshake (see 14.3.3.1) in the user settings.
3 Turn off the power when the balance is either

“oFF” or “STAND-BY”. Then connect the printer
cable to the DATA I/O on the back of the balance.
Connect the printer cable to the printer, too.
4 Turn on the balance power.
5 Turn on the printer power.
Notes
• Refer to the instruction manual of EP-80.
• Continuous output cannot be made to an electronic printer.
• Electronic Printer EP-60A can also be used.
74
14.2 Personal Computer - RS-232C

Programming with the command codes makes it possible to control the balance from a computer.
When the balance does not have to be controled by the computer, WindowsDirect (see 6.) offers very
handy data transmission.
14.2.1 Connecting the Cable
Notes
• The cable must have the correct connections as shown in the diagram
below.
• Cables with the connections shown below and the special accessory

14.2.2 Data Format
Data format 1 (“F-dF1” in menu item selection) is the Shimadzu’s standard data format. (See 14.3.3.5)
The following is the details of this data format.
(1) Basic format

An example of data format for a negative weight value (-21.6865g) with delimiter of C/R is
shown.
Data length of this example: 13 bytes

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
ASCII
2DH 20H 20H 32H 31H 2EH 36H 38H 36H 35H 67H 20H 0DH
code
Data - 2 1 . 6 8 6 5 g C/R
The data length varies depending on attached information, unit expression and the delimiter
selection as explained in (2).
Remarks
Position 1: For a positive value, " " (space) (20H), and for a negative value, "-" (2DH) is
in this position.
Positions 2 to 10: The absolute value. When the numerical value does not use all the 9 posi-
tions, the code for space (20H) is entered to each excessive position as
shown in this example.
With AUW-D, space may appear after the value; at the position No.10.
Positions 11,12: One or two letters indicating the weighing unit. As shown in this example,
the code for space is entered at position No.12 if only one letter is used for
the unit.
Position 13: Code for delimiter.
(2) Information of additional bytes

(i) Output with stability information
When outputting data with stability information (Refer to 14.2.3 D7), the code for “S” or “U” is
added before Position No.1 in the above 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 are also
outputted. In this case, “[” and “]” are inserted to border the part of auxiliary indicating device
in the format. Consequently, the data becomes 2 bytes longer.
76
(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.
(iv) When the delimiter “C/R+L/F” is selected (Refer to 14.3.3.2)

The delimiter information requires one more character. Therefore one more byte is added
after Position No.13 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: 13 bytes

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
ASCII
code
20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 4FH 4CH 20H 20H 20H 20H 20H 0DH
Data O L C/R
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

14.3 Communication Settings
14.3.1 What are communication settings?
These settings are menu item selections for determining communication specifications when connect-
ing to devices such as an electronic printer or a computer.
The settings here are effective for both RS-232C and DATA I/O communication specifications. When a
printer or another device is connected to the DATA I/O connector, set the balance communication set-
tings to “Standard Setting 1”.
Five standard settings are stored in the balance, that are composed for frequently used types of com-
munication. Selecting a standard setting allows all of these items to be set at once: communication
speed (baud rate), delimiters, parity (and bit length), stop bit, data format, and handshake. Setting
combinations that are not included in the standard settings may be selected by individual items in the
User Settings.
14.3.2 Standard Setting
The combinations shown in the table below are available as standard setting 1 to standard setting 6. In
the communication settings menu, the standard settings 5 and 6 cannot be selected. The standard set-
tings 5 and 6 (WindowsDirect) can be set easily without entering the menu (see 6.2.1).

A-6. Performance Check Guide

Notes
• The following is a standard guideline used to determine whether the bal-
ance is working properly. The specific criterion can be set according to
each user’s requirements.
• Conduct the performance check in a location without changes in room tem-
perature. Install the balance following the instruction of this manual.
• Leave the calibration weight in the weighing chamber before start perfor-
mance check so that the temperatures will be equalized.
• For placing and removing the weight, use a long pair of tweezers. Do not
put hand into the weighing chamber.
Repeatability
For AUW-D series, perform steps 3 to 5 in 1 Leave the power on in mass display (backlight
both large and small ranges. of AUW series illuminates if it is set to on) and let
stand for one hour (two hours for AUW-D series).
2 Following chapter 11, set the stability and

response to the standard mode, set the stability
detection band to 1 count, and set zero tracking to
OFF.
3 With a pair of tweezers, place a weight close to

the weighing capacity on the pan and take it off
six times. For each time record
