To ensure safe and proper operation of the balance, observe the following
precautions.
• Do not use the balance in hazardous areas.
This includes areas where the balance is expose to dust or flammable
gases and liquids.
• Use the AC adapter specified by Shimadzu.
To prevent electric shock, never disassemble the AC adapter.
The AC adapter is designed for indoor use. Do not use the AC adapter in
exterior environments or where it may be splashed by water.
Ensure that the power supply voltage meets the indicated range of the

AC adapter.
• Handle the balance carefully.
The balance is a precision instrument of solid design.
• Do not connect peripheral devices other than those recommended
by Shimadzu.
The balance may not operate properly if peripheral devices other than
those specified in this manual are used. The specifications of the RS-
232C/AUX connector are described in Appendix 4. Connect the periph-
eral devices according to the methods described in this instruction man-
ual.
• Do not disassemble the balance, accessories, or peripheral unit.

Shimadzu Balances and 21 CFR Part 11
21 CFR Part 11
21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records, Electronic Signatures, Final
Rule (often referred to as Part 11) is the United States Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) regulation affecting computer resources
and electronic records that are used for any document that is
required to be kept and maintained by FDA regulations.
Requirements concerning computer resources security are key elements in Part 11.
The controls implemented as a result of security related requirements are intended to result in trusted records.
Shimadzu CLASS-Balance Agent
Shimadzu provides a means for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11
with Shimadzu CLASS-Balance Agent software, part of a comprehensive laboratory data management system, Shimadzu CLASS
Agent.
Ask your Shimadzu representative about it.
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.
Two-way Communication
Shimadzu balances have always been computer friendly and they
can be set up for bi-directional communication as part of a fully automated production system or LIMS.
This manual includes the command codes and information needed
by programmers to integrate Shimadzu balances with their software.

1. Introduction
1. Introduction
Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances are a product of our 80 year history of developing and
manufacturing weighing instruments.
Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances utilize the patented Shimadzu UniBloc sensor, intro-
duced in 1989, to achieve high performance, fast response, and durability. Available features include
multiple units of measure, piece counting, checkweighing functions, auto print, and GLP/GMP/ISO out-
put including date and time data from a built-in clock.
The new series also features Shimadzu’s WindowsDirect communication, requiring no software instal-
lation to quickly integrate balances with lab or business software. This function eliminates data input
errors and offers extensive flexibility for application development without compromising compliance or
data security.
The UW 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 refer-
ence.

This manual refers to the different types of UW and UX series (UW/UX series) balances as follows:
H type: UW/UXxxxH
S type: UW/UXxxxS
Where: H indicates a balance with high resolution.
S indicates a balance with standard resolution.
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.

4.1 Choosing the Installation Site
(1) Power supply
• Select an installation site that is near a power source to ensure that the attached AC adapter
is used properly. If this is not possible, an optional battery pack is available as a special
accessory.
• Verify that the supply power voltage conforms to that indicated on the AC adapter.
(2) Installation site

• Air flow from air-conditioner, open window, or venti-
lator
•Vibration
• Direct sunlight
(Continued)

4. Installation
• Extreme temperature, temperature changes or
humidity
• Corrosive or flammable gasses
• Dust, wind, electromagnetic waves, or magnetic fields

This balance has four feet, three of which are
adjustable. For efficient level adjustment, follow
the procedure below.
(1) First, verify that all three leveling screws are at
their shortest point.
(2) While lightly pressing down on the left front of
the balance, turn both of the front leveling screws
to bring the air bubble into the center circle of the
level indicator.
(3) Finally, while still pressing down on the front of
the balance, adjust the leveling screw at the right
rear of the balance until the balance is stable.

4.5 Span Calibration
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 tem-
perature is constant, that there are no breezes or vibrations and that the balance is in an area isolated
from the normal traffic flow.

2 Press the [CAL] key once. “i-CAL” is displayed.
3 Press the [O/T] key. After “i-CAL3”...“i-CAL1”,

pletion of span calibration, the gram-display will
appear.
This is the standard calibration type. Refer to 10.3.1 for use of external weights.
Note
Span calibration is required again :
when the location of the balance is changed,
when the room temperature changes considerably,
periodically, according to the quality control plan of the user.

2 Press the [O/T] key. Verify the stability mark is
illuminated with “Setwin” display. All the communi-

from the balance. Unpluging the balance once is
necessary after the above setting.
Note
When WindowsDirect settings are made using the "SEtwin" setting, indi-

cations Settings menu (15.3). In this case, the → (stability mark) may still
appear with the "SEtwin" display but WindowsDirect may not operate. To
restore WindowsDirect optimal settings first go to the "SEtwin" display and
remove the stability mark by pressing the [O/T] key. This restores the

6. WindowsDirect Function
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 Electric 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.
