AD-Just – Automatic self sensitivity adjustment The balance can be set to calibrate and adjust its sensitivity automatically using its internal weight according to the set execution condition (i.e. temperature change, preset time or interval) when there is nothing on its weighing pan. An indicator (message for the BA-T series) blinks to give notice before the adjustment starts. Internal repeatability test It is also possible to have the balance test and calculate repeatability (standard deviation) using its internal weight to quickly assess the performance under a given environment. For the BA-T series, the repeatability measurement mode can be immediately accessed by pressing [P-TEST] on the screen, which enables repeatability testing using an external weight as well as the internal weight. Impact shock detection (ISD) The ISD function detects impact loads applied to the weighing sensor and indicates their strength in five levels from 0 to 4. Level 3 and Level 4 are also accompanied by a beep sound. Using this as reference, you will be able to reduce impact loads in future weighing, and thereby avoid measurement errors as well as potential damage to the Impact load: Level 4 weighing sensor. Impact loads of Level 3 and Level 4 are saved in the Impact Shock Detection History log. When there is a problem with the balance, the log can be used to check how the balance was used. Smart routine check (SRC) (for the BA-T series) The SRC function displays the balance handling level, or how adequately it has been used, in three levels based on the number and strength of impact loads received by the weighing sensor♦ (available as part of the daily check function described later). This allows you to assess and manage risk related to poor handling, and helps improve Balance handling level judged balance operating skills. ♦ Patent pending to be C (bad) The balance recommends you to perform performance (periodic) check and verify that no error has been caused if it is judged to have been handled badly. External ionizer for instant static removal With the provided ionizer,*1 you can easily ensure that your sample (and container) is completely free from destabilizing static electricity. Since a DC method is adopted, no fan is needed to deliver ions, and therefore no breeze is caused (except for minimal ionic wind), enabling static removal without disturbing even extremely fine powders. P.4

The ionizer draws power via the balance. For seamless weighing workflows, it can be installed next to the balance and activated for a set duration by hovering your hand over the embedded IR sensor right before a sample is placed inside the breeze break. *1 Optional for the BA-225/225D/125D • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Antistatic treatment The glass panes of the breeze break are coated with transparent evaporated metal to block outside static electricity. IR sensor Helps meet diverse compliance and security needs Daily/periodic balance check support (for the BA-T series) The balance aids in the application of standard operating procedures (SOP) for quality and performance verifications without trouble. The daily check is conducted to confirm that the balance is in good condition, whereas the periodic check is conducted to regularly inspect the balance basic performance. No comprehensive knowledge or experience is required to implement these checks. Simply follow the displayed procedures step-by-step (or skip items that are not needed for your laboratory). Daily check item: Level check Other daily check items include external condition check, weighing pan check, and accuracy check. Periodic check item: Eccentricity measurement Other periodic check items include the calibration test, sensitivity adjustment, repeatability measurement (with pre-loading), and sensitivity test. It is possible to set the balance to remind you of these checks as you prefer. Meanwhile, the results can be printed out or saved to a USB flash drive in a PDF report format for documentation and compliance. P.5 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Minimum weight setting and alert*2 You can set the minimum weight for the balance either by direct key input or performing a repeatability test, from which the balance automatically calculates*3 the minimum weight. Repeatability measurement for minimum weight setting The minimum weight is determined from the standard deviation of 10 repeated weighing results. The detailed calculation data can be output for your records. *2 Unit of minimum weight setting is mg. *3 By a tolerance of either 0.1% in accordance with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), Chapter 41, or 1%, depending on your laboratory requirements To ensure that the measured sample amount meets the minimum weight requirement, the balance can keep displaying an alert (message for the BA-T series) until the sample amount reaches the value set as the minimum weight. It is also possible to set the balance to disable output of weighing data smaller than the minimum weight. Minimum weight alert • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • You can select whether to include values near zero for comparison with the minimum weight. Advanced user access control (for the BA-T series*4) To prevent unauthorized changes from being made to balance settings/data, users can be classified into four levels (i.e. administrator, lab manager, supervisor, and operator), and the administrator can determine the extent of rights (i.e. change to settings, date/time setting, external sensitivity adjustment, and internal sensitivity adjustment) for each level. The administrator can register users as either lab managers or supervisors with usernames and passwords. Up to 100 users can be registered, including the administrator.*5 *4 For the BA series, the administrator can set passwords for up to 10 additional users. Similar (albeit simpler) user rights management is also possible using the function selection switches for these users as well as the administrator. *5 Operators do not need a password. User rights management P.6

History information (for the BA-T series) The balance can display/save to a USB flash drive*6 log-in/log-out history, operation (changes to settings) history, sensitivity adjustment history, and impact shock detection (ISD) history with date, time, username and other necessary information for later reference. *6 The balance stores up to 1,000 data (which is then Operation history overwritten in order from the oldest data) for each history. It can only display the latest 100 data but save all data to a USB flash drive in CSV format. GLP/GMP/GCP/ISO compliant output Data necessary to comply with GLP/GMP/GCP/ISO can be added to sensitivity adjustment reports, calibration test reports, and series of weighing results. Specialized application functions ― Let the balance do the work for you to avoid human errors Formulation mode (for the BA-T series) Mixture The formulation mode enables quick, accurate weighing of multiple samples to mix according to a Sample Sample set recipe, allowing for setting the target value (g) B C and tolerance (%) for each sample. Up to 150 samples and 300 recipes can be registered in the balance for Sample easy creation or selection/change of recipes. A Weighing screen in formulation mode On-screen instructions guide you to weigh each designated sample to the target range. The [SAVE] key to proceed to the next step becomes active only when the weight is in the target range, which prevents errors (either Below Tolerance or Above Tolerance is displayed while it is outside the target range). P.7

HPLC mode (for the BA-T series) The HPLC mode is dedicated to preparing buffer solutions for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition to weight (g), it enables you to set the target quantity of each sample in terms of molar concentration (mol/L or mmol/L). From the molecular weight of the sample and the volume of the buffer solution to be made, the balance automatically performs conversion between molar concentration and weight, which is a common source of error when manually calculated. Recipe edit screen in HPLC mode You can simply have the balance calculate/display the weights to be measured even if the sample quantities are specified by molar concentration. Currently, 13 samples that are typically used to make buffer solutions are already registered with their molecular weight information by A&D by default. In addition to those samples, up to 30 samples (and 300 recipes as with the formulation mode) can be registered in the balance. Both formulation and HPLC mode results show the measured quantity and tare value for each sample, which can be printed out or saved to a USB flash drive in CSV format. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Communication interfaces and connectors ① RS-232C (D-Sub 9P) ② Connector for the cable to the weighing unit ①● ③ USB-A for USB flash drives*7 ④ USB-B (mini-B) for connection with a PC Right side Using internal settings, you can toggle between Quick USB (HID) mode, which allows you to send weighing data to an application (e.g. spreadsheet) on a PC, and Virtual COM (CDC) mode for bi-directional communication.
