The CLS-920i Operator Card, PN 96313 included with this manual, provides basic operating instructions for users of the CLS-920i and the 920i HMI digital weight indicator. Please leave the operator card with the indicator when installation and configuration is complete.
The CLS-920i Cargo Lift Scale is a rugged, dependable cargo lift scale that can withstand many years of repeated use. When mounted on a forklift, the CLS-920i saves time and money. It immediately weighs the load when it is picked up with a forklift instead of carrying the load to a floor scale.
While the CLS-920i Cargo Lift Scale will fit most typical forklifts, there are certain considerations that must be taken into account prior to installing the scale. Due to the extra weight of the CLS-920i, the net lifting capacity of the forklift is decreased by approximately 10%. Use the following formula below, to calculate the net capacity of the unit.
The remainder of the display can be graphically configured for representation of a specific application. Display contrast can be adjusted with the LCD contrast potentiometer.

Accepting Weight Data to the Indicator The 920i can accept data in two different ways from the two-channel iQube and depending upon which version of the CLS-920i is purchased, will come with different components. They are: • Wired - Coil Cable Figure 1-3.

Section 2-3. The CLS-920i Cargo Lift Scale is shipped from the factory with the scale already calibrated to the indicator. Minimal recalibration and adjustments might be necessary once the scale is installed onto the forklift. Those calibration steps are contained in Section 6.0.
Before Installation Before installing the CLS-920i on a forklift, the forklift should be in good operating condition in order to get the optimal amount of weighing accuracy. The following items are things to look for prior to installing the CLS-920i onto a forklift: •...
3/4" socket wrench and discard bolts Step 4: Remove front portion of steel pallet. Figure 2-3. Bolt Location on Pallet 4. Remove the front portion of the steel pallet that the scale is sitting on. CLS-920i Installation Manual...

13. Next, adjust the shim bolts so that they are adjusted for minimal clearance between the bottom cleats and the scale carriage. This clearance needs to be .020 inch thickness and can be measured by using a feeler gauge. 14. Tighten the shim bolt jam nuts and verify their clearances as shown in Figure 2-5.

The indicator tilt position is adjustable by using a wrench so you can pick the best viewing angle for the operator. Vibration isolators are also included in the supplied mounting bracket hardware. This cushions the indicator from vibration. These vibration isolators are shown below in Figure 3-2. Vibration Isolators Figure 3-2.

Supplying Power to the Two-Channel iQube Using a Lithium-Ion Battery If using a wireless version of the CLS-920i, the CLS scale uses a supplied lithium-ion battery to supply power to the two-channel iQube. The wireless version of the CLS-920i does not come with a coiled cable. The lithium-ion battery is located on the top of the cover plate in a painted enclosure.
