The indicator is equipped with the 
following data interfaces:
– COM1: Standard interface (RS-232)
– UniCOM: Universal data interface
(optional)
Both of these interfaces can be con-
figured in the Setup menu for various
input/output functions (e.g., Printer,
second weighing instrument, PC, 
checkweighing/classification display). 
The optional UniCOM interface can 
be used for RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422
communication, or as voltage-/current
(analog) interface. A bar code scanner
(Combics 2 only) or an external recharge
-
able battery pack can be connected 
to the female UniCOM port (on CW1S,
CW1NS and CW2S models, use the 
corresponding terminal screws).
Features
– Indicator models CW1P, CW1NP and
CW2P (IP44 protection): 
Connect via a 25-contact D-Sub 
female connector. 
Use a T-connector (see “Accessories") 
to connect a second device to the same
interface.
– Indicator models CW1S, CW1NS,
CW1FS, CW1NFS, CW2FS, CH1NE,
CH1NG and CW2S (IP67 protection): 
Route connecting cable from the
peripheral device to the indicator via 
a cable gland. Then connect the free
ends of the cable using the terminal
screws. 
If you wish to connect a second peri-
pheral device to the same interface port,
use a separate cable gland to route 
the connecting cable of this device into
the indicator.
!Warning When Using RS-232 
Connecting Cables Not Supplied by
Sartorius:
The pin assignments in the cable 
might not be compatible with Sartorius
equipment. Check all pin assignments
against the cabling diagrams and dis-
connect any lines that are not assigned.
Failure to do so may damage or even
completely ruin your indicator and/
or peripheral device.
