1. Introduction
This manual describes how the GX-M/GF-M series balance works and how to get the most out of it in
terms of performance. Read this manual thoroughly before using the balance and keep it at hand for
future reference.
Depending on the software version of your balance, there are cases that behave differently.
For confirmation of the software version of the balance, refer to "27. How To Check The Software
Version Of The Balance".
1-1 Features
□ The balance has a self-check function that inspects the balance itself using electronically
controlled load (ECL) and evaluates performance. Read this manual thoroughly before using the
balance and keep it at hand for future reference.
□ The balance can detect impact applied to its mass sensor and display the level of that impact.
ISD (Impact Shock Detection).
□ Continuous change of the balance can be calculated as flow rate, displayed and output. FRD :( Flow
Rate Display).
□ The balance is equipped with a data memory function, which can record weighing value,
calibration result, and multiple unit mass (mass per sample in counting mode) (Up to 200 items
are stored for weighing value).
□ The GX-M series has automatic self calibration using the internal mass, adapting to temperature
changes, setting time and interval time.
□ Good laboratory practice (GLP) / Good manufacturing practice (GMP) data can be output using
the RS-232C serial interface.
□ A built-in clock and calendar that can add the time and date to the output data.
(Setting changes due to the clock can be limited only for an administrator. (Password Lock
Function))
□ Comparator Indicators, displaying the comparison results with HI OK LO .(Depending on
the setting, 5-step comparison is also possible.)
□ Capacity Indicator, displaying the weight value in percentage relative to the weighing capacity.
□ Hold Function, provided for weighing a moving object such as an animal.
□ Underhook, for measuring density and weighing magnetic materials.
□ Password lock function can limit users for the balance to be used or changes due to the function
settings by setting a password.
□ Key lock function allows the balance to only operate using commands from an external equipment
by disabling key operations on the balance.
□ The balance is equipped with an RS-232C serial interface and a USB interface to communicate
with a computer. Windows computer using the Windows communication tools software (WinCT)
make building a system very easy. The latest Win-CT software can be downloaded from the A&D
website.

□ A breeze break is included with the model featuring a minimum display of 0.01g.

1-2 About The Models
There are many models in the GX-M series and GF-M series with differences in the models being the
minimum display and weighing capacity. In this manual, they are listed collectively by the minimum
display as shown in the table below.
Model Minimum
display
Applicable model
Internal mass type General type
0.01g model 0.01g GX-8202M / GX-8202MD
GX-10202M
GF-8202M / GF-8202MD
GF-10202M

GX-32001M / GX-32001MD
GF-12001M / GF-22001M
GF-32001M / GF-32001MD
□ For the GX-M series, a weight for sensitivity adjustment is built in. It is possible to use functions
such as calibration and auto calibration using the internal mass.
□ For the GF-M series, sensitivity adjustment weights are not built-in. When calibrating, it is
necessary to prepare an external weight.
1-3 Compliance
Compliance with FCC Rules
Please note that this equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. This
equipment has been tested and has been found to comply with the limits of a Class A computing
device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide
reasonable protection against interference when equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. If this unit is operated in a residential area, it may cause some interference and under
these circumstances the user would be required to take, at his own expense, whatever measures
are necessary to eliminate the interference.

2. Unpacking The Balance
The balance is a precision instrument.
Unpack the balance carefully. Keep the
packing material to be used for
transporting the balance in the future.
The packing contents depend on the
balance model. See the illustrations to
confirm that everything is contained.

2-1 Installing The Balance
Install the balance as follows:
1 Refer to "3. Precautions" for installing the balance.
2 Install the pan support, weighing pan and draft gate.
Refer to the previous page.
3 Adjust the leveling feet to level the balance.
Confirm it using the bubble spirit level.
4 Confirm that the AC adapter type is correct for the
local voltage and power receptacle type.
5 Connect the AC adapter to the balance firmly. Earth
the balance. Warm up the balance for at least 30
minutes with nothing on the weighing pan.
