Shimadzu WindowsDirect

When Shimadzu balances are integrated with laboratory software by
means of our WindowsDirect function, no communication software is
required or used.
The Shimadzu balance functions as a primary device in the system,
just as a keyboard, mouse or other data entry hardware does.
For this reason, system validation and compliance may be greatly
simplified with the use of Shimadzu balances.

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 90 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.

For information on the following points, please contact your Shimadzu Balance representative.

• Product warranty

• After service

For Basic Operation

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.

For Basic Operation

Clip

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

4” ...... “CHE 0”, “*.**-*.**”, “CAL 2”, “CAL 1”, “CAL

0”, “CALEnd”, “oFF” (This span calibration imme-

diately after power up can be aborted by pressing

the [POWER] key, however at least one span cali-

bration is necessary before use. The AUY series

does not perform calibration and the display

showing “CAL...” will not appear.)

“*.**-*.**” shows version number of software.

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. 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 Basic Operation

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.

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.

5. Basic Operation (Read Chapters 1 to 5 for basic but proper operation of the balance.)

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.

For Basic Operation

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

5. Basic Operation (Read Chapters 1 to 5 for basic but proper operation of the balance.)

Avoid the location where vibration from any machinery is transmitted.

Corners of a room are less subject to influence of vibration.

For Basic Operation

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.

The AUW-D/AUW/AUX/AUY series can transfer data directly to a computer running MS-Excel, mass

input window of analytical instrument software or other applications on Windows

numeric value in the balance display were typed from the keyboard. This function is called WindowsDi-

rect. 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 command codes (14.2.3) is required.

• Only numerical values can be transferred through WindowsDirect.

6.2 WindowsDirect Settings

Simple settings are made for the balance and the computer. Connection is by RS-232C cable specified

by Shimadzu.

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.

A3

• Windows Vista doesn't have the serial device setting screen that is required to set the WindowsDi-

rect 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.

Windows

®

* = Windows® 95, Windows® 98, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, and higher.

25

6. WindowsDirect Function

Q5 When data is input into Excel, the cursor doesn't move to another cell.

A5

• If a function for conversion to 2-byte characters is available in Windows, turn the setting for this func-

tion 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. 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 elec­tronic 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 record­ing 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/s
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.

and 979.76319 cm/s2 respectively, with a difference of about 0.0057%.

38

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.

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. Calibration

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. Calibration

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 calibra­tion executes automatically to maintain the sensitivity of the balance. Span Calibration executes auto­matically 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

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.

When PSC is not activated, operator must carry out span calibration (refer

10.3.4 PCAL: Calibration of the Built-in Weight

Note

The built-in calibration weight is already calibrated before shipping but the operator can also calibrate

the built-in calibration weight using their own external calibration weights. The calibration of the built-in

calibration weight is called PCAL. Inputting the conventional mass value (s) of the operator’s calibra-

tion weight (s) can provide the most accurate span calibration (refer to 10.3.6). Perform span calibra-

tion only after correct installation and thorough warm up. Also, make sure that nothing is on the pan

and ensure conditions free from the influence of vibration or air flow.

11. Environment Settings

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 pro­vide 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, High-stability mode and
Pouring mode are also available. The currently set mode is easily checked by pressing the [CAL] key
four times from mass display to produce the settings check display (see 7.4.1).

11.2.1 Standard mode

Settings Check Display

(When standard mode is selected)

11.2.2 Anti-convection 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

here sets the mode to Standard mode.

Setting of this mode can be confirmed only in settings

check display (see 7.4.1).

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.

11.2.3 High-stability Mode

Settings Check Display

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.

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.

Setting of this mode can be confirmed only in settings

check display (see 7.4.1).

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

vibration or air current even further. The response will

slow slightly but the display will be stabilized.

(When high-stability

mode is selected)

From the mass display, press the [CAL] key repeat-

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.

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 kit.

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.

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

Position12345678910111213

ASCII
code

Data

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

Positions 2 to 10: The absolute value. When the numerical value does not use all the 9 posi-

Positions 11,12: One or two letters indicating the weighing unit. As shown in this example,

Position 13: Code for delimiter.

in this position.

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.

the code for space is entered at position No.12 if only one letter is used for

the unit.

(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.

81

14. Communication with Peripheral Devices

(iii) 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”.

14. Communication with Peripheral Devices

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).
