Features

1.1.
A built-in ionizer can eliminate static electricity from the weighing sample before weighing,
reducing weighing errors.
Each electrode unit of the ionizer is designed to be removed, cleaned and replaced.
Automatic self calibration, using the internal mass, adapting to changes in temperature.
Response adjustment adapting to drafts and/or vibration in the environment automatically.
Memory function to store weighing data and calibration data.
When only weighing data is stored, a maximum of 200 data can be stored.
Interval mode to store the weighing data periodically.
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. (Changing the
clock setting can be limited to the administrator. Refer to "15. Password Function".)
The password function can be used to restrict balance users or changes to the function settings.
The key lock function disables the balance key operation and enables the balance to be operated
only by commands from external devices.
Underhook, for measuring density and weighing magnetic materials.
Multiple weighing units with most of the common units used around the world.
Gram, Milligram, Counting mode, Percent mode, Ounce (Avoir), Troy Ounce, Metric carat, Momme,
Pennyweight, Grain (UK), Tael (preset at the factory), Tola (India), Messghal and Density mode
The BM-22 is equipped with a smart range function to weigh in the precision range (minimum
display: 1 μg) after zeroing a tare weight, if within the weighing capacity.
The micro tube holder is included in the accessories of the BM-20 and BM-22.
Density mode for calculating the density of a solid.
The BM series balances are equipped with an RS-232C serial interface and a USB interface to
communicate with a computer. While outputting data to a printer using the RS-232C interface,
data can be transmitted to a computer at the same time using the USB interface.
Using the RS-232C interface and the Windows communication tools software (WinCT) enables bi-
directional communication between a Windows computer and the balance.
The current version of the WinCT can be downloaded from the A&D website.
Connecting the USB interface of the balance by a cable to a Windows computer allows
transmission of the weighing data to Excel or Word.
When multiple balances have the BM-08 Ethernet interface installed in place of the USB interface
and connected to a LAN, data can be acquired from each of them using the WinCT-Plus software.
When the accessory data logger (AD-1688) is connected, weighing data can be stored without
using a computer.
