Menu Descriptions
Tables 3-1 through 3-3 provide complete information about each of the main menu options. Each table describes all
parameters associated with that particular menu option, the choices available for each parameter, and a general
description of each parameter and related choices. The system defaults are indicated by a check mark (
√
).

Description…
Units. Sets up the CW-80 start up or default unit of measure (DEFALT), as well as any
possible alternate units of measure (ALT 1, ALT2, and ALT3).
Note that units selection is not indicated by letters on the numeric display, but by the
illuminated Units LED’s to the right of the numeric display. Press ID key or TARGET key
to select the unit.
From the DEFALT parameter, you can set up the default unit of measure. Alternate units of
measure can be set up from the parameters ALT1, ALT2, and ALT3. The default unit of
measure establishes the start up, or primary unit and determines the unit by which the scale
will be calibrated. The possible choices are lb, oz, g, and kg. Units selection is indicated by
the illuminated Units LED’s to the right of the numeric display.
When alternate units of measure are desired, you can use the UNITS key to set the weight
display unit under ALT 1, ALT 2, or ALT 3. Note that ALT2 will be hidden unless ALT1 is
active. Likewise, ALT3 will be hidden unless ALT2 is active. Each of the alternate units can
be set up to be any of the possible units: lb/oz, oz, lb, g, and kg.
Default. Sets the default unit of measure. DEFALT establishes the primary unit of measure
for the CW-80; it also determines the unit by which the scale will be calibrated.
In addition to the units of measure, you can set the scale graduations, decimal point settings,
and Count By display resolution from the DEFALT menu item.
For the default unit of measure, the possible selections are oz, lb, g, and kg. The lb/oz unit is
not allowed as a start up default unit, as the CW-80 will not calibrate with lb/oz as the
default.

ALT-X. Allows you to set up any of the alternate units of measure. Note that ALT2 is
hidden unless ALT1 is active (not set to OFF), and ALT3 is hidden unless ALT2 is active.
To configure an alternate unit of measure, select the unit from the following list of
parameter options: kg, g, lb, oz, lb/oz, and OFF. The default is OFF.
LF (Load Factor)
Next, select the desired load factor (LF). A load factor is a ratio of the number of
graduations that an ALT-X unit has in relation to the DEFALT unit of measure.
For example, if the CW-80 is configured so that the DEFALT unit of measure will use
2000 grads, then a load factor of (LF 0.90) will result in an alternate unit using 90% of
that number of grads (0.90 x 2000 grads = 1800 grads). Similarly, a LF 1.10 will utilize
2200 grads (1.10 x 2000 grads).
Note: The display shows the standard resolution load factor (LF) for the unit selected.
You can press the TARE key to view an alternate resolution load factor for the unit
selected. Select either the standard or alternate resolution load factor. Choosing a load
factor
≤
1.00 will result in the same or fewer graduations for the ALT-X unit of measure,
maintaining Legal-For-Trade compatibility.

Note:
If alternate units are set up, do not
change any parameters for the
DEFALT unit which would affect
calibration (graduations, count by
display divisions, or decimal point
position). Calibration will be lost and
any settings established for ALT 1,
ALT 2, or ALT 3 units will be lost.
(continued)
* These alternate unit selections are visible only if the prior alternate unit has been activated (is not set to OFF).
