1. Introduction

The Avery Weigh-Tronix Reflex HP series of precision balances give you high performance, fast

response, and durability. Features available 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 Reflex HP series also features Avery Weigh-Tronix’s WindowsDirect communication, which

requires no software installation to quickly integrate balances with laboratory or business software. This

function eliminates data input errors and offers extensive flexibility for application development without

compromising compliance or data security.

The Reflex HP 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 Reflex HP series balance as follows:

HPxxx

HPxxxC

HPxxxCT

Where: xxx indicates capacity of balance (g)

C indicates built in calibration

T indicates EC Type Approval

The type of balance is classified as “large pan” or “small pan” depending on the size of the pan.

Large pan type: Balance model with a capacity of 2200g or more.

Small pan type: Balance model with a capacity of 820g or less.

4.5 Span Calibration

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 two hours, 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.

6.1 Introduction: Experience it!

The Reflex HP series balance can transfer data directly to a personal computer running Lotus 1-2-3,

Excel, or other applications running on a Windows* operating system, as if the displayed value were

typed from the keyboard. This function is called WindowsDirect. Because this function directly accesses

the Windows operating system, 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.

6.2 Set Up WindowsDirect

6.2.1 Setting Up the Balance

1 Press the [CAL] key twice from the gram-display.

“Setwin” appears.

illuminated with “Setwin” displayed. 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.

Note

“Setwin” selects all the communication settings to enable

WindowsDirect function. However, the stability (arrow) mark at the

“Setwin” display is linked to the delimiter setting only. If any of the other

communication settings have been changed after the last set-up for

WindowsDirect, access the “Setwin” display and press [O/T] key to

cancel the stability mark once, then, repeat the setting up with “Setwin”

newly for WindowsDirect.

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 turn 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 Reflex HPxxxC series, displaced built-in weight may cause

damage to the mechanism.

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 five modes can be selected. Note that

adjustments for stability and response conflict with each other, although the Reflex HP series is

designed to meet both.

Auto mode: Select menu item .

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 .

This mode is only suitable for constant volume weighing of liquids or fluids.
This mode is very sensitive to wind and vibration.

Standard mode: Select menu 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 item .

Use this mode when the balance is used in a location where there are large
vibrations and the display fluctuates in the Auto mode.
Response is deteriorated at small mass amount changes.

Anti-wind mode: Select menu item .

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.

22

11.3 Stability Detection Band

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

The conditions for indicating balance stability can be selected. If “1 count” is selected, when the display

has remained constant (within one display count), the balance is regarded as stable and the stability

mark illuminates. Stability detection band settings can be selected from 2 to 64 counts.

Select menu item for “1 count”. for 2 counts, for 4, for 8, for 16*, for 32*, and

menu item to set the band as 64* counts.

33

32 31302928 27

Note

Use “16 counts” to “64 counts” only when the Auto Print function is used

and it is therefore required that the sensitivity to vibration be reduced to

allow the balance to be regarded as stable and print the measurement

value.

The balance may not operate properly if these settings are selected

under normal use conditions and environment.

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 .

To turn OFF this function, Select menu item .

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.

34

13. Enhancing Productivity

Functions that are useful mainly in production sites are described in this chapter.

Only one of the functions in the menu group 4 (Refer to 7.3) ( to ) 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).

13.1 Checkweighing and Target Display

41 53

The Reflex HP series balance has an analog bar graph located on the left side of the display. This graph

can be conveniently used for checkweighing or cumulative weighing.

The graphic display functions include the two display modes of checkweighing, the target mode, and full

scale mode. Only one of them can be used at a time. Refer to 9.1 for the full scale mode and the no bar

graph display.

Upon selection of either the checkweighing mode or the target mode, the numerical value for threshold

or target is requested. Numeric values are memorized independently for each graphic display mode.

When one of the checkweighing modes is selected, a signal corresponding to HI, GO, or LO in

thegraphic display can be transmitted via the RS-232C/AUX connector.

Target, limit, upper, and lower values are set as numeric values only. Set the correct numerical value for

the unit that will be used for weighing.

• In weighing mode, changing the displayed unit does NOT change the target, limit, upper, or lower

numeric values. For example, when the upper limit has been set at 10g, switching the unit from “g”

to “kg” does not change the limit to 10kg. It will be 0.01kg.

The decimal point is invisible in the value setting display. Determine its position based on the resolution

of the balance. For example, if the balance’s minimum display is 0.01g, 150g must be set by inputting

“15000” in the display.

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.

pieces) of sample to be measured and load them on

the pan.

5 Press the [CAL] key.

6 Every time the [CAL] key is pressed, the display

sequentially changes as

“Ld 5pcs”.... “Ld 200pcs”, “Ld 5pcs”...

The default setting is “Ld 10pcs”.
Press the [O/T] key when the display is equivalent

to the number of loaded pieces.

Example: If 50 pieces are loaded, press the [O/T]

key when “Ld 50pcs” is displayed. This
determines the unit weight or average
weight per piece.
As sample is added or removed, the
piece count (number of pieces) is
displayed.

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 to activate it.

41

13.5 Zero Range

The “Zero Range” value is used in some of the application functions as a reference to identify whether

the sample is loaded.

If the display is within the Zero Range, the balance determines that a sample is not loaded. If the display

goes more than five times the Zero Range it determines that a sample is loaded. Application functions

which involves judgment of whether a sample is loaded or not work in accordance with the Zero Range

setting.

Set the “Zero Range” value in menu item using the number of counts displayed in gram-display.

The setting range is 01 to 99 with 01 being the default value. Even when weighing will be done in

another unit, Zero Range setting is made by only gram value.

with a delimiter for each command code.

Example 1: PRINT<CR> ... 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 <CR> .. 12:34 is set as the current time.

Example 3: P.TARE=1.23 <CR> (example of type of the second decimal place).

...1.23g is set as a Pretare value.

Example 4: P.TARE=0.00 <CR> (example of the second decimal place)

...Clears (cancels) the Pretare value.

Example 5: MENU=4630 <CR> (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 (Anti-vibration mode) is selected.

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>

15 - 4

Example 7: #=12.345.67 <CR>

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<CR>' and '12-345-67<CR> 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<CR>

... After receiving this command, the balance outputs ABCDEFG12345<CR>.

The printer can print this character string.

15.2.4 Multi-Connection Mode

A maximum of 26 Reflex HP 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 Reflex HP series balances to one personal computer is shown in the

diagram below.

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.”

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] <delimiter>” from the personal computer.

α is the name of the balance next to the personal
computer. In the example above, lower-case “j.”
This command is valid only one time after turning
the power ON.
Respective balances automatically enter the
Multi-Connection mode and the mass is displayed.
On this process, the name smaller than the sent
command by one, i.e. “[i] <delimiter>”, is returned.

Format of Output Data from the Balance

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

“[α]” data <delimiter>

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.

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 Electronic

Printer, cannot be used.

• The communication formats can only be used with “Format EB type”. Delimiters cannot be used with

menu items or (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.

15.3.2 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 .

To have software handshaking performed as the following, select menu item .

After the balance receives X-OFF (13H), the balance output is retained.

After the balance receives X-ON (11H), the balance output is initiated.

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 Reflex HPxxxC 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 Reflex HPxxx balances: Remove the pan and pan supporter caps and place the balance in the

packing case as it was shipped.

Caution

Failure 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.

Notes

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.
