Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Shimadzu TW/TX/TXB series
electronic balance.
The TW/TX/TXB series models are high performance electronic
balances that we condently recommend based on over 80 years of
precision balance manufacture. While these models are of course
capable of fast and accurate weighing, the TW/TX models all
use the Unibloc cells that Shimadzu started using for electronic
balances in 1989, and the TXB models use our unique, newly
developed and robust load cells, improving the reliability of the
balances still further.
The new TW/TX/TXB series balances also feature operation keys
for four directions, improving operating convenience and making
the balances easier to use.
These balances also feature a variety of other functions that
make it more convenient for customers to use them for their
own applications, including the WindowsDirect communication
function, which enables measuring results to be transferred to a
PC without installing any software.
To ensure that you can make full use of the performance
and functions of your TW/TX/TXB series balance, read this
instruction manual carefully and use the balance correctly in
accordance with the directions in the manual. When you have
nished reading the manual, keep it in a safe place together with
the balance so that you can refer to it at any time.
For information on the following points, please contact your
Shimadzu Balance representative.

Warming Up
Before performing span calibration on the balance or measuring its accuracy, you must ensure
that it is in a stable state.
When stabilizing the balance, it is important that its temperature is stable.
Put the balance in weighing mode (for example showing the gram display) and leave it with
the power ON for at least an hour (two hours for the carat models TWC**3L and TXC**3L) in
advance of calibration.
This is called "warming up".

Performing Span Calibration
Always perform span calibration for a balance after moving it. Weights are required for span
calibration of the TX and TXB series. For details on weights, see "About Weights" (^ page
134).
Before performing span calibration, warm up the balance in advance.
Also, carry out the adjustment at a location where there are few people moving around and there
is no air ow or vibration.

CALIBRATION
In order to weigh accurately with an electronic balance, the balance must be calibrated after it has been
moved or if the room temperature has changed substantially.
You are also advised to carry out calibration routinely (before use every day).
Before Starting
Calibration…
Two kinds of calibration operation are possible with the TW/TX/TXB series: "span calibration" and the
"calibration check", and for each of them you can select the use of either the internal weight (TW only) or
the external weight.
By registering either of these for , the registered operation can be started by just pressing

Drif t in the sensitivity is corrected (default setting).
Investigate the drift in the balance’s sensitivity by using either the internal weight (TW
only) or the external weight.
The operation to calibrate the internal weight itself cannot be registered in

What is sensitivity drift?
The sensitivit y drift is the amou nt by which the balance weight reading is off the true value when a
weight close to the weighing capacity is placed on t he pan.
For example, with the TX323L (weighing capacity of 320 g, minimum display digit of 0.001 g), if a
300 g weight is placed on the pan af ter a d rif t of "-0.005 g" has been indicated, the weight reading will

Caution
If calibration doesn't end normally and the balance stops, do not
move it nor leave it as it is.
Moving the balance in such a condition may cause failu re because the inter nal weig ht is
not held correctly.
Before moving the balance, be sure to turn the power on and start it up cor rectly (so that
the internal weight is correctly held).

FUNCTIONS RELATING TO TARING
The TX/TXB series has the following functions relating to the zero point and taring.
Make use of these functions in accordance with the weighing environment and the application.
Zero / Taring Functions
Zero tracking function
Fluctuations in the zero point that occur
immediately after turning the power ON and as a
result of temperature changes are compensated
for, so the zero indication is maintained.
(^ page 71)
Auto tare function
After outputting a weight reading, taring is
executed automatically.
(^ page 74)
What is taring?
This is a function whereby the weight of the container placed on the pan is subtracted to set the display to zero, so
that only the weight of the sample placed inside the container is indicated.
What is the zero point?
This means the state where nothing is placed on the pan, zero is i ndicated, and weighing can be star ted.
Drift of the zero point that occurs as a result of
material left on the pan after measurement is
automatically compensated for.

ADJUSTING RESPONSE AND STABILITY
The response and stability of the balance can be adjusted in several ways in accordance with the
installation environment (degree of vibration and so on) and the weighing application (whether solid
objects / clumps or poured liquids / powders are being weighed).
Stability: The degree to which the weight reading is stable, with little uctuation
•
•
Response: The speed of the reaction to changes in the weight on the pan
Set the optimum conditions for your application by following the procedure below.
Selecting the weighing mode
The TW/TX /TXB series offers two basic weighing modes.
Selec t the right one in advance in accordance with the environment of use and the application.
General weighing mode
This is the fundamental mode in which
response and stability are given equal
emphasis.
(^ page 77)
This is a weighing mode where response is
given priority over stability, which is suited to
operations where substanc es like liquids or
powders are poured out until a target weight
is reached.

Easy Setting
of Response and
Stability
During weighing, the response and stability of the weighing mode can be adjusted in stages in
accordance with the installation environment and the weighing application.
The TW/TX/TXB series balances feature excellent response and stability, but since response and
stability are generally antagonistic, if one is prioritized it will to some extent weaken the characteristics
of the other.

Stability mark lighting timing
•
Normally there is no need to change these settings. (Change the settings if, for example, you want to
relax the conditions and make (the stability mark) light more easily because the environment is
unstable, or to speed up operation if stability is used to automatically print or output data.
Lighting up of (the stability mark)
*
The lighting up of (the stabilit y mark) indicates the fact that the weight reading is stable.
If the load is being changed slowly, or due to the set tings relating to st abilit y detection, the weight
reading may change while (the stability mark) remains lit, or (the stabilit y mark) may light
tempor arily and then the weight reading may change.
Setting the Stability Detection Range
The stability detection range is a value set as a count of the smallest digit that is displayed, and
the display is judged to be stable if uctuation in the weight reading is within this count during a
xed time.
(The default setting for the stability detection range is 1 count (1d).)

Pieces by Weight
(Piece Counting)
You can set the unit weight (weight of a single piece) of the item in advance and then display the number
of pieces in the sample.
The unit weight is recorded by placing a sample on the pan that comprises the "number of pieces used for
setting".
Unit weights for up to ve different types of items can be set at the same time.
Points where care is necessary
*
If the sample is spread out too much or unevenly in the cont ainer on the pan, accurate piece
counting will not be possible.
If a large quantity sample is to be weighed, and the quantit y in the sample greatly exceeds t he
quantity used to set the unit weight, there may be a large counting error.
To minimize the counting error…
*
In step 5 of "P reparation for Pi ece Counting", make the numbe r of piec es us ed for se tting the
un it weight as la rg e a s p os sible.
When actually measuring numbers of pieces, don't place a large quantity of the sample on the pan
at one time but rather add a small portion at a time and, when the display has st abilized, press
for at least 3 seconds to update the unit weight. Keep repeating this operation.
