The Laumas CLM8i (SKU 23116) is the naked, board-only version of the CLM8 intelligent junction box: eight independent load-cell channels with digital equalization, load distribution analysis and automatic diagnostics, a backlit LCD with a 4-key keyboard, and RS485/RS232 communication.
The datasheet shows the CLM8 in a weighbridge system: load cells feeding the CLM8, which connects to a W series indicator, database, printer and remote display (p.2). As a multi-channel junction box it is also used on:
Reads every load cell separately and shows the load distribution across them.
Multi-cell vessel weighing with per-cell diagnostics.
Digital equalization replaces trimpot adjustment of the corners.
Per-channel readings (in mV) and fault reporting help locate a bad cell or cable.
The datasheet describes the CLM8i as the “naked version, board only”, 151 × 72 × 30 mm (p.1). It has no enclosure and the datasheet states no IP rating for it; the IP67 ratings in the datasheet belong to the boxed versions. Install the board inside a protective enclosure, panel or junction box suited to the environment.
Board only: no box, no fixing base. Overall size 151 × 72 × 30 mm.
The datasheet gives no ingress protection for the board. Protect it with a suitable enclosure.
Need a mounting solution that is ready to use? The same CLM8 is also available on a DIN rail (SKU 23114), in an IP67 stainless steel box (SKU 23117) or in an IP67 polycarbonate box (SKU 23128).
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.

| Laumas CLM8i — board only, no enclosure | 23116 |
No. It is the naked, board-only version. It has no enclosure and no IP rating is stated, so it must be installed in a suitable protective enclosure.
151 × 72 × 30 mm.
-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.
