CLS-680
The CLS-680 was designed from the ground-up, specifically for forklift applications. With a machined aluminum anodized enclosure, the CLS-680 is ideal for demanding, general-purpose forklift applications.
Its compact size is attached with a RAM® mount for flexible positioning and minimal obstruction. Additional
features include rounded corners, vibration protection and surge suppression.
CLS-920i
The CLS-920i incorporates the flexibility, intelligence and programmability of the 920i in a smaller enclosure with a DC power supply for use on forklifts. The standard program offers weight indication, configuration, calibration and diagnostics specific to the CLS. Customize it for your application with an optional user program.
VIRTUi³
Weight data is displayed on a device using VIRTUi3 software, creating a virtual indicator. The CLS connects
to your device using RS-232, USB or WPAN. Choose between the CLS-M or CLS-IM configuration for static or in-motion use.
The cableless option removes the coiled communications or power cable between the scale and the indicator. A rechargeable battery is secured to the scale, powering the scale and the paired wireless
modules provide communication.
Wi-Fi is a standard feature for the CLS-680 and is available as a factory installed option for the CLS-920i.
WPAN communication is a standard feature for the CLS-680 and is available as an external option for
the CLS-920i. It is also available in a communications/power box for the virtual solution.
During the initial scale installation, remind the customer that they must have an updated ID plate on the forklift stating the new lifting capacity and center of gravity information. This is required per OSHA rules and regulations.
