2.5 Span Calibration

Note

Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in using region:

Span calibration must be performed once the balance is installed and before using the balance as a legal measuring instrument in using region. Span calibration must be performed with the internal calibration weight to

maintain the verification valid. The balance must be connected to power and warmed up for at least 2 hours prior to span calibration and use as a legal measuring instrument.

It is necessary to calibrate the balance after it is moved. Verify that the balance is stable before performing the span calibration. To achieve a very stable state, ensure that the balance has been turned on with the gram-display for at least one hour, that the temperature is constant, that there are no breezes or vibrations and that the balance is in an area isolated from the normal traffic flow.

When carrying out span calibration, it is necessary to make sure the balance is as stable as possible. In order to ensure this stability, turn the power to the g display for at least 1 hour and allow the temperature of the balance to stabilize after installation, before carrying out calibration.

7. Calibration

7.1 What is calibration?

Calibration is required to accurately weigh items with an electronic balance accurately. Calibration should be performed:

• When the location of the balance is changed, even within the same room.

• When the room temperature changes considerably. It is recommended that calibration be carried out every day before use.

In this instruction manual, the terms span calibration, calibration check, and calibration are used as follows.

Span Calibration: … Use of a reference mass (calibration weight, etc.) to calibrate the

sensitivity of the balance correctly.

Calibration Check: … Use of a reference mass (calibration weight, etc.) to determine the

amount of drift of the balance sensitivity.

Calibration: … Pertains to both span calibration and calibration check.

Caution

8. Environment

8.1 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.

8.2 Stability and Response (Averaging)

These settings select the degree of display stability and response. The UP Series features outstanding stability and response, however in general, stability and response are contradictory, so if settings are changed to give one or the other priority, it will cause some lose in performance of the other. In order to maintain compatibility with the UW/UX Series, the stability and response will be the same as the UW/UX Series in any mode other than automatic mode. Automatic mode can be switched between [UP.AUto] UP Series automatic mode, and [PrE.AUto] UW/UX Series automatic mode. The current mode is the mode on which the stability symbol is delayed on menus 22 to 26 when the menu is opened.

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.

(To use UW/UX Series automatic mode)

Each time the circle (right side) on the [O/T] key is pressed and held during automatic mode, the balance will switch between UP Series automatic mode and UW/UX Series automatic mode. In addition, when the settings are changed a verification of the new settings will be temporarily displayed in the [ ]. UP Series automatic mode [UP.AUto] →UW/UX Series automatic mode [PrE. AUto] →UP Series automatic mode [UP.AUto] During measurement in the UP Series automatic mode the ▶ symbol will be displayed on the right side of the display.

Pouring mode: Select menu item 23 [EA-PoUr] (Environment/Averaging-POURing) (Filling, dosing) This mode is particularly suitable for dosing or filling purposes.

Note that this mode is very sensitive to wind and vibration.

(Environmental setting in Pouring mode)

Pouring mode allows further adjustments to the surrounding environmental conditions. Choose the optimal setting for your installation site observing the response and stability.

8. Environment

(Display)

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

Every time the circle in the right part of the [O/T] key is pressed during weighing in Pouring mode, the environmental setting will be changed and cycles in the following order. Upon changing the setting, the new setting is briefly displayed as sh own in “[]”. normal environment (“norm E”) → unstable environment, (“UnStb E”) → very stable environment, (“StAbL E”) → normal environment, (“norm E”).

During use, the current environmental setting of Pouring mode can be confirmed by observing the position of the symbol in the display.

Note

However, when using animal weighing mode (11.6), the animal weighing mode operation settings and confirmation display (cond 1 to 3) will take priority.

In addition, this will be used as an indicator to display the status of each mode during animal weighing mode (11.6), solid specific gravity (11.2), and liquid specific gravity (11.3) weighing, so the environmental settings for pouring mode will not be displayed.

Standard mode: Select menu item 24 [EA-Stnd] (Environment/Averaging-STaNDard)

This mode is suitable for weighing in a normal environment. Averaging is fixed and does not change dynamically as in the [EA-AUto] mode.

Anti-vibration mode: Select menu item 25 [EA-v ibr] (Environment/Averaging-VIBRation)

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

Anti-wind mode: Select menu item 26 [EA-w ind] (Environment/Averaging-WIND)

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 [EA-AUto] mode. Response deteriorates further than the [EAi-vibr] mode, but weighing is comparatively stabilized.

Note

If weighing cannot be performed efficiently even with the [EA-wind] mode, change the installation site of the balance or use the optional windbreak (large).

8.3 Stability Detection and Settings

Stability detection is an auxiliary function used for the following purposes. (1) Stability symbol display: When the weigh is stabilized during measurement, Stability mark is

prompted as an auxiliary indication of measurement stability.

(2) Stability link function operation: Operations such as data output and auto zeroing of the below

listed functions are triggered by stability detection. Some data output functions operated with communication commands (12.4.3) are also linked to stability detection.

(Functions that employ stability detection)

Auto Print (See 10.3), Auto Zero (See 10.4), Taring/Printing at Stability (See 10.6), Peak Hold (See

11. 3 ), Auto-Memory and Zeroing (See 11. 5 ), Animal Weighing (See 11. 6 ), Formulation Mode (See 11.7).

It is possible to adjust the operation with the following stability detection settings. It is not usually required to change these settings as they are optimized at default. However, it is allowed to change according to 8 . 3.1 and 8.3.2 when: wishing to ease the criteria of stability detection under very unstable environmental or sample conditions, or wishing to accelerate automatic data output when using a function that employs stability detection.

(a) Stability Detection Band (8 . 3.1) (b) Timing of Stability Mark Illumination and Automatic Output (8.3.2)

Note

Stability mark is an auxiliary device to inform measurement stability. The displayed value may change while the stability symbol remains illuminated if the load is changing slowly, or depending on the stability detection settings.

8.3.1

The default setting is “1 count” and the measurement is regarded to be stable when the display has remained within one display count for a fixed length of time. If stability detection band is set at “2 counts”, it will be regarded to be stable when the display has remained within two display counts. Selecting a larger stability detection band generally eases the criteria and makes stability mark illuminate more readily. However, it will be more likely for the display to further fluctuate after prompt of stability mark. Try a larger stability detection band when data outputs triggered by stability detection is slow due to very unstable environmental and/or sample conditions.

Note

8.3.2

The prompt of stability mark and automatic data output of the functions employing stability detection take place at the same timing. The timing after detection of stability is optimized at the default and it is not necessary to change the setting usually. However, adjustment of the timing is allowed to three levels according to specific measurement requirements.

This function is mainly useful for improving productivity at manufacturing sites.

Only one of the functions in the menu group 4 (Refer to 4.3) (41 to 53) 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.

10.1 Checkweighing and Target Display

Analog display section

The UP 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 6.1 for the full scale mode and the no bar graph display.

[SEt] will be displayed after selecting a type in both target display and checkweighing modes. The threshold value for level determination is set as a value for the number of display counts (decimal places are ignored). If the value is not set and left out of the menu settings, only analog display mode types will be selectable. In addition, these values are recorded individually for each analog display mode.

10.5 Sample Loading and Unloading Determination

(Zero Range)

The “Zero Range” value is used in the following functions as a reference for judging whether the sample is loaded: Auto Print (10.3), Auto Zero(10.4), Peak Hold(11.3), Add-on Mode(11.5 ), Animal Weighing Mode(11.6 ), and Formulation Mode(11.7 ). Set the "zero range" to a value suited to your purposes when using these functions. If the display is within the Zero Range, the balance determines that the balance is not loaded. If the display reaches five times the Zero Range or more, it determines that a sample is loaded. Functions which involves judgment of whether a sample is loaded or not work in accordance with the Zero Range setting.

Example: Samples are weighed one after another with UP2202X (minimum display 0.01g) and each

measurement result is automatically output with the Auto Print “on Ld” function (10.3).

Suppose Zero Range is set to 10. As 1 count for UP2202X is 0.01g, Zero Range is 0.10g in this case. When a sample of 0.50g or more is placed, it is judged to be loaded and the data will be output. When this sample is removed and the display returns below 0.10g, it is judged that the balance is unloaded, then it is ready for the next sample. If it does not return below 0.10g, the previous sample is not judged to be unloaded. Therefore, even when the displayed value reaches 0.50g again by next loading, the data will not be automatically output. Select Zero Range value according to the influences of environment (causing difficulty in zero-return), the weight of the samples, etc. so that Auto Print functions properly.

Set the “Zero Range” value with menu item

The setting range is 01 to 99 with 10 being the default value. Even when weighing will be done in another unit, Zero Range setting is made by only gram value. Refer to 4.4 for numerical value settings.

Notes

• Zero Range value is a common setting for all the Zero Range-linked functions.

• The application of Zero Range value is different depending on each function. Refer to the section of each function using Zero Range.

• When a Pretare value is set, the thresholds to determine that there is “no load” becomes “− Pretare ± Zero Range”.

• When the minimum display is switched to 10d (refer to 6.2), the minimum display after the switch will be counted as one count for loading and unloading determination. As such, for the optimal zero range set before the switch, the value used for loading and unloading determination may be too big, which could result in the function not operating correctly (data not being output even if a sample is loaded, etc.). Reconfigure the zero range settings when switching the minimum display.

10.7 Registering Container Weight (Pretaring

Value)

Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in using region

Notes

• If the weight of the tare (container) varies, accurate measurement with Pretaring Value function cannot made.

• Pretaring Value function cannot be used with Peak Hold (11.3 ), Add-on Mode(11.5), Animal Weighing Mode(11.6 ), Formulation Mode (11.7 ) or Auto Print function (13.3).

This function is used to weigh the mass of a sample packed in a container such as a bottle or bag without opening the container. Pretare function should be used only if the mass of each container does not vary from sample to sample. Instead of zero, the pretare value is displayed (as a negative value) when the [O/T] key is pressed. The pretare value is then subtracted from the total load on the balance pan to display the weight of the sample.

1 Select menu item

2 Use the [UNIT] key and [PRINT] key to set the pretaring value, then press the [O/T] key.

Pretare Value

When a Pretare value other than zero has been set, the symbol illuminates.

• The Pretare value is set using the “g” unit. The maximum value is the weighing capacity of the balance. Refer to 4.4 for numerical value input methods.

• Cancel the pretaring value by setting it to zero.

• Check the Pretare value by pressing and holding the [O/T] key for approximately 3 seconds during weighing.

Use the AKB-301 external keypad if you have to change the Pretare value frequently. To configure settings using the AKB-301, input the pretaring value as numbers, then press the [O/T] key.

11. Application Functions

These are applied measurement functions that can be used with the balance.

12.4.2

The detailed information on the standard format for Shimadzu electronic balances (Menu item 77 , “EB type”. Refer to 12.3.3) is given here.

(1) Basic format

Data Format

An example of data format of a negative value (-186.65g) with delimiter of C/R is shown. The data length varies depending on attached information, unit expression and delimiter as explained in (2).

Data length of this example: 12 bytes

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

ASCII code

data - 1 8 6 . 6 5 g C/R

Remarks

Position1: For a positive value, " " (space), and for a negative value, "-" is in this position. Position 2 ~ 9: The absolute value. When the numerical value does not use all the 8

Position 10,11: One or two letters indicating the weighing unit. As shown in this example, the

Position 12: Code for delimiter.

2DH 20H 20H 31H 38H 36H 2EH 36H 35H 67H 20H 0DH

positions, the code for space is entered to each excessive position as shown in this example.

code for space is entered at position No.11 if only one letter is used for the unit.

(2) If data length is longer than standard

(i) Output with stability information

When outputting data with stability information (Refer to 12.2.3 (4)-(i)), either of the following characters is added in front of Character No.1 in the example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 by te longer. When stable: S When unstable: U

(ii) When the delimiter “C/R+L/F” is selected (Menu item No. 96 . Refer to 12 . 3 .7.)

The delimiter information requires one more character. Therefore one more byte is added after Position No.12 in the above example. Consequently, the data becomes 1 byte longer.

12. Connections and Communications with External Equipment

(3) Data format in case of “oL” or “-oL” (Overload)

The below is the data format for “oL”.

Data length of this example: 12 bytes

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

ASCII code

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

(ii) When the delimiter “C/R+L/F” is selected, (Menu item No 96 , Refer to 12.3.7.)

Using Command Codes

Note

If communication conditions are incorrectly set, a communication error message [ComErr] is displayed.

(1) Commands that end with a number, character, or symbol other than [=]: Transmit to the balance with

a delimiter for each command code.

Example 1: PRINT<CR>…The same operation as pressing the [PRINT] key

(2) Commands from (4) below which end in "="

Transmit to the balance with a delimiter added to the end after transmitting a number (including decimal places in some cases) following one command code.

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.

Note

Number of digits, decimal point, position of decimal point of the numeral transmitted succeeding to ‘=’ are the same as the case of setting the numeric value using the AKB-301 Application Keyboard. Use the same number of decimal places as in the gram-display. This restriction does not apply to USER=, SOLID=, and LIQUID=.

Weighing capacity work instructions and display of arbitrary numbers on the balance can be performed from a PC connected to the balance. These commands will each display as "# = 2.56" and "# = 12.345.67" on the balance display. If the balance operator presses the [PRINT] key after seeing these messages, the text strings '2-56<CR>' and '12-345-67<CR>' will be output from the balance.

12. Connections and Communications with External Equipment

(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 5: {ABCDEFG12345<CR>

…After receiving this command, the balance outputs ABCDEFG12345<CR>. When using the balance together with a printer, these text strings can be printed to the printer. (Printing of arbitrary text strings)

Note

Only capital alphabets and a part of symbols (decimal point, symbol etc.) can be used when printing with an electronic printer. A maximum of 15 characters per line.
