Introduction The CLS Series Cargo Lift scale is a rugged, dependable cargo lift scale that can withstand many years of use. When mounted on a forklift, the CLS Series can weigh, transfer and collect data in one efficient operation. It saves operator time, equipment costs and eliminates the middle step.
Do not operate or work on this equipment unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in this manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility.

Remove the flat bladed screwdriver as used in Step 25 and inspect the flexure rod. The flexure rod needs to be in the center of the hole.
Junction Box Replacement The CLS Series scale uses a NEMA 4X polycarbonate junction box. The junction box is located between the front and back panel of the scale and is covered by a metal cover plate on the top of the scale. Use the following procedures for replacing a junction box on the CLS Series Cargo Lift Scale.

Lithium-Ion Battery Charge and Replacement If using a wireless version of the CLS Series Cargo Lift Scale, the CLS scale uses a supplied lithium-ion battery to supply power to the indicator. The lithium-ion battery is located on the top of the cover plate in a painted enclosure.
4.0.2 Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery The lithium-ion battery comes with a two-bay, level-3 stand alone smart battery charger, a DC power jack, and a AC power cord as shown in Figure 4-2. To calibrate the battery pack, press the button on front label.
Wireless Battery Option Wireless technology eliminates the need for the coiled interface cable. The reinforced battery box is welded onto the cover plate. There is an On/Off switch to conserve the life of the battery and an LED to indicate when the battery is on.
Battery Disposal When using Lithium-ion batteries, be sure to observe the following precautions for disposal as stated in the material safety data sheet regarding lithium-ion batteries. CLS-Series Service Manual...
Board Replacement Use the following procedures in the event that the CPU board on either the 420 or the 920i need to be replaced. Board replacement for the 420 indicator is covered in Section 5.1 and board replacement for the 920i indicator is covered in Section 5.2.

5.1.2 DC Power Wiring Guidelines Based on: • 8 x 350 • Analog output installed • Digital outputs sourcing 20mA each • Drawing maximum current at 7.5 VDC from the DC/DC power supply DC power wiring to the indicator should be 18 AWG to 14 AWG for DC+, DC-, and earth ground conductors. Note The indicator will be connected directly to the battery of the forklift.
5.1.3 Serial Communications Using on of the six-position connectors, provided in the parts kit, wire the serial communications cables to J4. Connector J3 provides connections for the EDP/RS-232 port. Connect communications cables to connectors J3 and J4 as shown in Table 5-2. Once cables are attached, reconnect J3 and J4 to the headers on the board (see Figure 5-2).
CLS-920i CPU Board Replacement 5.2.1 Enclosure Disassembly The 920i indicator enclosure must be opened to install option cards and to connect cables for installed option cards. 920i has no on/off switch. Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the WARNING forklift power source.
5.2.4 Serial Communications The four communications ports on the 920i CPU board support full duplex RS-232, 20 mA output, or RS-485 communications at up to 115200 bps. To attach serial communications cables, route the cable through the cord grip and ground the shield wire as described in Section 5.2.3 on page 25.
5.2.5 Digital I/O Digital inputs can be set to provide many indicator functions, including all keypad functions. Digital inputs are active low (0 VDC), inactive high (5 VDC). Digital outputs are typically used to control relays that drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink, rather than source, switching current.

Installing Option Cards The 920i automatically recognizes all installed option cards when the unit is powered on. No hardware-specific configuration is required to identify the newly-installed card to the system.
5.2.7 Enclosure Reassembly Once cabling is complete, position the backplate over the enclosure and reinstall the backplate screws. Use the torque pattern shown in Figure 5-8 to prevent distorting the backplate gasket. Torque screws to 15 in-lb (1.7 N-m).

5.2.9 Fuse Replacement Fuses for the universal and deep enclosure models of the 920i are located under a cover plate on the outside of the enclosure. Remove the cover plate, replace the fuses, and reinstall the cover plate (see Figure 5-9). CAUTION To protect against the risk of fire, replace fuses only with same type and rating fuse.
