CW-11 Indicator
1. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INDICATOR
1.1Introduction
Thank you for deciding to purchase a CW-11 Indicator from Ohaus. The Ohaus CW-11 Indicator is a rugged,
reliable, electronic weight indicator in an IP65 washdown enclosure designed for easy operation in washdown
applications. The CW-11 Indicator can drive up to four 350 ohm load cells and provides capacity selections
up to 20,000 lb/kg with a maximum resolution of 1:20,000.
The CW-11 operates from AC power and can also be powered by six Alkaline C batteries internally. A six digit
LCD display is 1.0 inches/2.5 centimeters in height provides easy visibility when working at distances from the
indicator. Four switches mounted on the front panel enable simple set up procedures. A menu lockout switch
can be set to lock out various functions of the indicator to prevent settings from being changed. An RS232
Interface is built in. An adjustable mounting bracket permits the Indicator to be installed on a table or wall.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking and Checking
Open the package and remove the instrument and the accessories. Check the completeness of the delivery. The
following accessories are part of the standard equipment of your new Indicator.
Remove packing material from the instrument.
Check the instrument for transport damage. Immediately inform your Ohaus dealer if you have complaints or
parts are missing. Your Indicator package should contain:
Indicator CW-11
Warranty card
Capacity label
Screw driver for terminal connections
Instruction Manual
lead seal for weights and measures sealing
Store all parts of the packaging. This packaging guarantees the best possible protection for the transport of your
instrument.
2.2 Selecting the Location
The Indicator should be used in an environment which is free from corrosives, vibration or temperature extremes.
These factors will affect displayed weight readings. Scale bases used with the Indicator should be located on a
stable level surface and kept away from vibrating sources such as large machinery. Maximum accuracy will be
achieved when the area is clean and vibration free.
2.3 Connecting the Indicator to a Scale Base
At the bottom of the back cover of the Indicator are two slots. There is a spring clip at each slot location which
holds the cover in place. Insert the small scewdriver blade into each slot and press and work the back cover
off. With the cover removed, proceed as follows:
Remove the rear cover. Inside is the battery compartment which is wired to the PC board underneath.
Remove batteries if installed.
Remove the four corner screws from the battery board. One of the screws is crossed drilled to accept a wire seal
when used for legal for trade applications.
Carefully lift the battery board up and out of the indicator. The wires can be disconnected from the main PC
board by unplugging the connector.
Pass the load cell cable through the large or small liquid tight connector on the bottom of the housing. (Depending on cable size.)

2.3 Connecting the Indicator to a Scale Base (Cont.)
Refer to the color code of the load cell cable and connect the wires to Terminal Strip J4. Tighten all screws
securely. The connections are shown for a 6 wire cable. When a 4 wire cable is used, the Jump 1 and Jump
2 jumpers on the PC board
For obtaining better performance, it is recommended to keep both JUMP 1 and JUMP 2 jumpers open when a
6-wire load cell is connected to the CW-11.

2.4 Communication Connections
Provisions are made in the Indicator to communicate with an external computer or printer using an RS232
protocol. To connect, proceed as follows:
Pass the communication cable through one of the liquid seal connectors at the bottom of the Indicator.
Connect the cable to the J10 connector on the PC board. Observe the functions and connect correctly.
Connect the opposite end of the cable to the device.
After all connections have been made to the main PC board, replace the battery cover and lightly secure with
the four screws previously removed. If the Indicator is to be used in a legal for trade application, you will have
to gain access to the legal for trade switch on the main PC board again after all Indicator settings have been
made. Once this is done, the rear cover can be replaced.
2.5 Cautionary Notes
Model CW-11 Indicator must not be operated in hazardous areas.
Before connecting AC power, verify that the Indicator operating voltage corresponds to the local mains voltage.
If this is not the case, check terminal board J9 connections on the main PC board. There are provisions for
110V or 220V operation. Please contact your local Ohaus dealer if the voltages do not match.
Model CW-11 Indicator may be used in a washdown environment.
The CW-11 Indicator may be operated using the AC power cord , or 6 Alkaline C-type batteries (not supplied).
When the Indicator is plugged into a power source, the batteries are automatically disconnected. In the event
of a power failure, the batteries if installed will automatically continue to operate the balance.
2.6 Connecting Power
2.6.1 Battery Installation
With the back cover removed from the Indicator, insert 6 Alkaline C-type batteries into the battery holder
making sure that the batteries are properly orientated (correct polarity).
NOTE: It is recommended that when the CW-11 is operated from batteries, the Auto-Off Timer feature be
turned on to extend battery life. When setting up the Indicator, refer to Intial Setup,Readout menu,
paragraph 2.8.5.
2.6.2 AC Power
Connect the AC power cord from the Indicator and plug into a convenient power outlet.
NOTICE:
The socket/outlet must be installed near
the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

CW-11 Indicator
2.6.3 Operating the Indicator
Once the Indicator and Scale Base are connected and installed, follow the setup procedure outlined below.
Power On/Off
With the Indicator connected to an appropriate power supply, press the ON/ZERO/OFFbutton. The Indicator
performs a self-test, indicates the software revision momentarily and then goes to a weighing mode. At this
point, the Indicator is on and ready for initial setup.
Stabilization
Before initially using the Indicator, allow time for it to adjust to its new environment. Recommended warm up
period is five (5) minutes.
2.7 Setup Protection
The CW-11 Indicator is equipped with menus which permit certain functions to be locked out (not changed)
during operation. If you intend to lock out changes to the setup selections you make, do not re-assemble the
indicator. You will need to access the cal jumper located on the main PC circuit board following the setup
procedure.
2.8 Initial Setup
For first time setup, step through all menus and set the parameters as desired. As the last step, enter the CAL
menu and calibrate the system.
The indicator has five menus; CAL, SETUP, READ, PRINT and LOCSW which are entered by pressing and holding
the G/N/T/MENU button until MENU is displayed, then releasing it. The display then switches to CAL. To access
the rest of the menus, the PRINT/UNITS button is repeatedly pressed until the desired menu is reached.
2.8.1 Control Functions
During setup, only the PRINT/UNITSand G/N/T/MENU buttons are used.
PRINT/UNITS Button
Change between menus horizontally or change sub-menu parameters.
G/N/T/MENU Button
