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.
