The Laumas CLM8 is an intelligent junction box with 8 independent channels for load cells. It adds digital equalization, load distribution analysis and automatic diagnostics, a backlit LCD with a 4-key keyboard, and RS485/RS232 communication. This page describes the family; use the table below to pick the version your installation needs.
All Laumas CLM8 versions share the same instrument and specifications; they differ in mounting and enclosure. The board and DIN rail versions have no enclosure and the datasheet states no IP rating for them: install them in a panel or protective enclosure. The stainless steel and polycarbonate boxes are IP67 (datasheet p.1). Click the SKU's own page for details.

Place a sample weight at each load cell and the 8 channels are equalized digitally in one step, free of drift over time.
Shows the load percentage on each active channel, with an archive to store, consult and print.
Detailed diagnostics of each load cell (max. 8) and immediate reporting of anomalies, including on a connected weight indicator.
RS485 and RS232 with ModBus RTU, ASCII Laumas or continuous one-way transmission. Up to 32 instruments on one RS485 line (99 with repeaters).
With an optional inclinometer (not included) the weight is corrected for tilt up to ±10°.
Stores the last 50 significant events: zeroing, calibration, equalization and alarms.
Values that differ per version (enclosure, protection, dimensions) are listed in the table above and on each SKU's own page.

Related WeightechUSA product: the WeightechUSA WTX-CLM8 smart junction box (SKU 23118) is a separate WeightechUSA product built around the CLM8 board in an IP67 stainless steel box with its own power supply. It has its own datasheet and is not one of the Laumas versions in the table above.
Choose the board (23116) or DIN rail (23114) version to build into your own panel or enclosure, or a boxed IP67 version (stainless steel 23117, polycarbonate 23128) for a ready-to-mount unit.
-10 to +40 °C for type-approved instruments (OIML R76:2006 class III, 3 x 10000 divisions). The general working range is -20 to +60 °C.
No. Ethernet TCP/IP is an option on request (OPZETTCPCLM); the standard ports are RS485 and RS232.
