GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CUB5 Series provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from its
complete user programming to the optional setpoint control and communication
capability. The CUB5 accepts a DC voltage or current input signal and provides
a display in the desired unit of measure. The meter also features minimum and
maximum display capture, display offset, units indicator, and programmable
user input. The display can be toggled either manually or automatically between
the selected displays.

The CUB5 display has 0.48" (12.2 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in
two versions, reflective or red/green backlight. The backlight version is user
selectable for the desired color and also has variable display intensity.

The capability of the CUB5 can be easily expanded with the addition of
option cards. The setpoint output cards are field installable with programmable
setpoints. Serial communications capability for RS232 or RS485 can be added
with a serial option card.

The CUB5 can be powered from an optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor
Power Supply (MLPS), which attaches directly to the back of a CUB5. The
MLPS is powered from 85 to 250 VAC and provides up to 400 mA to drive the
unit and sensors.

INPUT

The CUB5P is a DC Process meter. It features voltage and current input
ranges, that are selected by the user via a programming jumper and software
input range selection. The ranges consist of the following: 0 to 10 V, 0(4) to 20
mA, or 0 to 50 mA. Users should select the appropriate voltage range that
covers their maximum input.

N-m]). Do not over-tighten the screws.

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

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

The bezel should only be cleaned 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.

2.0 SETTING THE JUMPERS

INPUT RANGE JUMPER

This jumper is used to select the proper input range. The input range selected
in programming must match the jumper setting. Select a range that is high
enough to accommodate the maximum input signal to avoid overloads. To
access the jumper, remove the rear cover of the meter.

Warning: Exposed line voltage exists on the circuit boards.
Remove all power to the meter and load circuits before accessing
inside of the meter.

REMOVING THE REAR COVER

To remove the rear cover, locate the cover locking tab below the 2nd and 3rd
input terminals. T o release the tab, insert a small, flat blade screwdriver between
the tab and the plastic wall below the terminals. Inserting the screwdriver will
provide enough pressure to release the tab locks. To replace the cover, align the
cover with the input terminals and press down until the cover snaps into place.

4.0 WIRING THE METER

WIRING OVERVIEW

Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power
supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.

Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed
(stranded wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct
screw-clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify
tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two
#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).

EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although this meter 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 meter may be different for various
installations. The meter becomes more immune to EMI with fewer I/O
connections. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important
and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation.
Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an
industrial environment.

1. The meter should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly

connected to protective earth.

2. 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.

CAUTION: The Plug-in cards and main circuit board contain static

sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge
static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare
metal object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled
clean workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges.
Dirt, oil or other contaminants that may contact the cards can
adversely affect circuit operation.

REMOVING THE REAR COVER

To remove the rear cover, locate the cover locking tab below the 2nd and 3rd
input terminals. T o release the tab, insert a small, flat blade screwdriver between
the tab and the plastic wall below the terminals. Inserting the screwdriver will
provide enough pressure to release the tab locks. To replace the cover, align the
cover with the input terminals and press down until the cover snaps into place.

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

shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.

3. 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 ran 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.

4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far as possible

from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.

5. 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.

Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress power line

interference. Install them near the power entry point of the enclosure. 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

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (RLC# LFIL0000)
Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07
Corcom # 1 VR3

Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.

6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.

Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.

7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across

inductive loads suppresses EMI.

Snubber: RLC# SNUB0000.
