MODEL CUB 3 & CUB3R - GENERAL PURPOSE, MINIATURE ELECTRONIC COUNTERS

ECONOMICAL REPLACEMENT FOR ELECTRO-MECHANICAL COUNTERS

DESCRIPTION

The CUB3s are miniature electronic counters. The CUB3 has front panel
reset, while the CUB3R has remote reset. These units fill a wide variety of
applications.

The CUB3s feature a rugged reinforced nylon case that snap-fits into a
standard rectangular opening without screws or other hardware. Hook-up is
simply a matter of connecting two wires, and since the operating voltage is only
3 V and with currents in microamps, almost any kind of wire can be used. No
external power is required since the internal batteries provide years of
uninterruptible service. In addition to these advantages, the CUB 3’s offer the
inherent ruggedness, reliability, and permanence of completely integrated
circuitry, embedded in a single monolithic, silicon, micro-chip.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Installation Environment

The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum
operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near
devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.

The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.
Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate
the aging process of the bezel.

Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the
keypad of the unit.

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although this unit is designed with a high degree of immunity to
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods
must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the
electrical noise, source or coupling method into the unit may be different for
various installations. Listed below are some additional EMC guidelines for
successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield

(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The

connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.

Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in

order of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth

ground (protective earth).

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when

the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.

c. Connect the shield to common of the unit and leave the other end of the

shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.

2. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC

power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and

heaters, etc. The cables should be run in metal conduit that is properly

grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long

and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation

is near a commercial radio transmitter.

3. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as

possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy

components.

4. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal
and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the
core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional protection.
The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:
Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:

Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC #FCOR0000)
TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A
Steward #28B2029-0A0

5. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS & COUNT INPUTS

The CUB 3s can be supplied with count input signals from mechanical

switch contacts or solid-state switches (NPN or PNP transistors) as shown in
the diagrams below. Reed switches, mercury-wetted contacts, snap-action limit
switches, and silver alloy contacts with wiping action are usually satisfactory
choices for mechanical switch input. Heavy “clapper-type” contacts such as
used in contactors or large machine tool relays, tungsten contacts, or brush type
contacts are not recommended as count input devices.
