New and Improved―Precision Balances Ideal forHeavy-Duty Weighing In Tough IndustrialConditions
Who else is interested in a laboratory balance that provides the feel of a
washdown bench scale? The GX-L/GF-L series, the successor to A&D’s long-selling
GP series, continues to allow precise weighing of heavy or large amounts ofmaterials in demanding conditions. In addition, now as part of the A&D Apollofamily, these models also oﬀer various advanced features that make yourweighing easier and more eﬃcient, not to mention more accurate.

Flexible display position
Swing-arm display standUnlike the commonly utilized stationary pole display stand, the swing-arm display stand allows
its angle to be adjusted by approx. 100 degrees. It can therefore be pulled down to create a bench
conﬁguration with a front display, or angled back for weighing items of unusual size.

Applicable models
GX-12001L/GF-12001L, GX-22001L/GF-22001L
GX-32001L/GF-32001L, GX-32001LD, GX-42001L
GX-62001L, GX-62000L/GF-62000L, GX-102000L

Separate display stand
There are also models available in the GX-L series that have a separate display stand instead of theswing-arm display stand. With the separate display stand, the display unit can be installed awayfrom the weighing platform (the cable length is approx. 3 m), either on the ﬂoor, on a desk/bench,or on a wall.

Safeguard against spillage
IP65 dust and waterproof
The GX-L/GF-L series, which are IP65-rated, permit no ingress of dust, and can withstand waterprojected from any direction, as deﬁned by the IEC/EN standard 60529. This makes the balancehighly suitable for working with liquid or powder materials, or use in dusty/wet environments,
with no need to worry about damaging it.

Further balance protection
Impact shock detection (ISD)
The weight sensor of a precision balance will bedamaged if continually aﬀected by loads withacceleration (impact shocks). This typically occurs infactories where objects are placed down by machines
roughly or thrown onto balances by operators. Inaddition, impact shocks can easily shift values andcause errors.

Impact-Alert
The GX-L/GF-L series visualize the magnitude of impact shocks received by the weight sensor at four levels.
Also, one beep is emitted if a Level 3 shock is received, and two beeps are emitted if a Level 4 shock isreceived (both of which should be avoided).

No impact shock

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4Shock-Log
While the power is on, up to 50 impacts of Level 3 and Level 4 will be stored in the balance with atimestamp (combined with log-in user information when the password lock function is used).*1 Thisfunction is especially beneﬁcial for quality managers, as it enables them to check and show how theirbalances were treated during use.

*1 Data will then be overwritten in order from the weakest impact.

P.2

Data output/communication
RS-232C (D-Sub 9-pin) and USB (Mini-B) interfaces as standard
The USB interface can be toggled between Quick USB mode (plug-and-play with weighing data
output to a PC only) and Virtual COM mode (for bi-directional communication*2). A USB cable (1.8m) is supplied as standard.
The GX-L/GF-L series remain IP65-rated when a USB cable is connected to the USB interface. For
the RS-232C interface, a 5-meter waterproof RS-232C cable is available as a separately-soldaccessory (AX-KO2737-500).

*2 Installation of dedicated driver software is required for Windows 8.1 or earlier.

Universal Flexi Coms (UFC)This function enables customization of printout
content and layout by editing and sending
commands to the balance (dedicated software,WinCT-UFC, is available as a free download).
Following the commands, the balance createsdata to be output to either a printer capable ofdump printing, such as the AD-8127 compact
printer, or a commercially-available label
printer*3 for barcode printing.
A label printer that supports ZPL or ZPL II (ZPL
*3 andZPL II are registered trademarks of ZIH Corp.)

GLP/GMP/GCP/ISO-compliant output

WinCT-UFCThe balance manufacturer, model, serial number, ID number (set by the user), date + time, space forsignature for sensitivity adjustment report, calibration test report, and title & end blocks for a series ofweighing results can be output.

Gross/Net/Tare output
Upon receiving a command, or with key operation, the balance can also output the gross, net, and tare values.

Accuracy and precision management
AD-Just – Automatic self-sensitivity adjustment (for the GX-L series)
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 blinks to give notice when theadjustment is about to start. Internal sensitivity adjustments can also be performed any timewith just one key press.

Internal weight value correction
In cases where the internal weight value varies over time, it can be corrected by loading an externalreference weight.

Automatic level detection & warning
The balance shows a blinking "TILT" on the display andblinks the spirit level LED when it detects a tilt to prevent
inaccurate weighing due to the balance not being level.
Warning that the balance is not level
P.3

Automatic precision assessment (APA)In APA mode, the balance ﬁrst makes a quick diagnoses on whether there is a critical failure(Dia-Check), and then shows a repeatability test result (Standard Deviation) as well as theminimum weight (QuickMin-S) calculated using an electronically controlled load (ECL).*4 It takes
less than 1.5 minutes and can be readily included in a daily check SOP.
is A&D's patented technology of generating a minute load
*4 ECL(0.3 to 3% of the balance capacity) by purposely altering theequilibrium state of the electromagnetic force restoration sensor.

Automatic minimum weight calculation and implementation
You can enter the minimum weight into the balance by either direct key input, using the result of
QuickMin-S, or having the balance calculate it from 10 repeated measurements of an actual
external weight (the tolerance can be set to either 0.1% pursuant to USP Chapter 41, or 1%).
Moreover, to ensure that the measured sample amountmeets the minimum weight requirement, the balance candisplay an alert until the sample amount reaches the value
entered as the minimum weight (Min-S Alert).*5*5 Only when g is selected as the unit of measure

Blinking minimum weight alert

Other useful features
Flow rate display (FRD)
FR-CalThe balance can calculate and display/output the mass ﬂow rate (the unit of measure can be selected fromg/s, g/m or g/h), or the volume ﬂow rate (mL/s, mL/m or mL/h) by entering the density of the material.*6This function makes ﬂow rate measurement much easier and more precise than manual calculation using
a stopwatch. (Dedicated graphing software, WinCT-FRD, is available as a free download.)*6 Up to 10 densities can be saved to the balance.

WinCT-FRD

FR-Compare
The balance indicates whether the ﬂow rate is maintained within the designated limits (either 3 levels or 5levels). The results can be output using the optional GXL-04 interface.

P.4

Tare memory
The tare value can be saved in non-volatile memory. When this function is activated, thepower-on zero/tare is turned oﬀ. Therefore, even if the power supply is interrupted during
weigh-in or loss-in-weight measurement (e.g. ﬁlling), the net value displayed before the loss ofpower is restored once the balance is turned on again.

Data memory
Each balance has a capacity to store up to 200 weighing results + 50 sensitivity
adjustment/calibration test results (all with timestamps), and 50 unit masses to be used incounting mode, 20 sets of upper/lower limit values to be used in comparator mode, and 20 tarevalues for cases when no external memory device, such as a PC, is available.

User access control (UAC) and key lock
The GX-L/GF-L series can be password-protected in two ways: The ﬁrst way is to limit use toauthorized individuals (up to 11 including one administrator—the administrator can perform alloperations while other users are limited to measurements and sensitivity adjustments*7 only) by
setting a password for each user. The second way is to set a password for just the administrator,
allowing anyone else to use the balance without entering a password, but for measurements andsensitivity adjustments*7 only.
Meanwhile, upon receiving a command to disable its keys, the balance becomes operable only bysending commands from an external device, such as a PC. Alternatively, it is also possible todisable designated keys only (so as to avoid unnecessary/incorrect operations, etc.).
administrator can also restrict sensitivity adjustment*7 Theso that others can perform measurements only.
