DESCRIPTION
The CUB4 Volt and Current Meters are designed and manufactured using the
latest technology for a high quality, compact, affordable instrument for use in
industrial environments. Each unit has a 3½-digit LCD display with 0.6 inch
(15.2 mm) high digits and a DIP switch selectable decimal point. The displays
are available in positive image reflective (black digits, reflective background) or
negative image transmissive (illuminated digits, dark background) with red or
yellow/green backlighting.
The units are constructed of a lightweight, high impact plastic case with a
clear viewing window. The sealed front panel meets NEMA 4X/IP65
specifications for wash-down and/or dusty environments, when properly
installed. A CUB4V or CUB4I unit can be mounted in the same panel cutout as
the CUBVD and CUBID units.
The optional Micro Line/Sensor Power Supply (MLPS1000) is designed to
attach to the rear of an installed CUB4V or CUB4I to provide the necessary power
for the unit. The optional supply can be powered from a 85-250 VAC source.

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.
Installation
The CUB4 Volt and Current meters meet NEMA 4X/IP65
requirements for indoor use, when properly installed. The
units are intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. A
sponge rubber gasket, mounting clip, two screws, and nut
fasteners are provided to install and seal the unit in the panel cutout.
The following procedure assures proper installation:
1. Cut panel opening to specified dimensions. Remove burrs and clean panel
opening.
2. Carefully remove center section of the panel gasket and discard. Slide
gasket over rear of the unit to the back of the bezel.
3. Slide nut fastener into slot on mounting clip and then insert mounting screw
through nut on both sides of mounting clip. Tip of mounting screw should
NOT project through hole on clip.
4. Install CUB4 unit through panel cutout.
5. Slide mounting clip over rear of unit until clip is against back of panel. The
mounting clip and CUB4 housing have a latching feature to hold the unit
in place until tightened.
Note: Hold the CUB4 front bezel in place when sliding the mounting clip into
position.
6. Alternately tighten each mounting screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure.

Visually inspect the gasket for proper seal. The gasket should be
compressed approximately 75 to 80% of its original thickness.
(Recommended torque is 28 to 36 in-oz.)
7. If the gasket is not adequately compressed and the mounting screws cannot
be tightened any further, loosen mounting screws and insure that the clip is
latched as close as possible to the panel.
8. Repeat step #6 for tightening the mounting screws.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
The electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the unit. When wiring the unit, use the label to identify the wire position
with the proper function. All conductors should meet voltage and current ratings
for each terminal. Also cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that power supplied
to the unit be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Strip the wire, leaving
approximately ¼" bare wire exposed (stranded wires should be tinned with
solder). Insert the wire into the screw-clamp terminal and tighten the screw until
the wire is clamped tightly. Each terminal can accept up to two #14 AWG wires.
DECIMAL POINT SELECTION
The CUB4 Volt and Current Meters can be set-up to read in 10ths, 100ths, or
1000ths. The decimal point position is DIP switch selectable for one of three
locations. If all the DIP switches are set to the “OFF” position, then NO
decimal point will appear in the display. The DIP switches are located at the rear
of the unit.
