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.
