GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CUB5 provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from its complete user
programming to the optional setpoint control and communication capability.
The CUB5TC accepts a thermocouple input and provides a temperature display
in Celcius or Farenheit. The meter also features minimum and maximum
display capture, display offset, °F or °C 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 and 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. Setpoint capability is field installable with the addition of the
setpoint output cards. Serial communications capability for RS232 or RS485 is
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.
DIMENSIONS In inches (mm)
Note: Recommended minimum clearance (behind the panel) for mounting clip installation is 2.15" (54.6) H x 3.00" (76.2) W.

INSTALLATION
The meter meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The
unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel cutout
to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the panel
gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel.
The unit should be installed fully assembled. Insert
the unit into the panel cutout.
While holding the unit in place, push the panel
latch over the rear of the unit so that the tabs of the
panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The
panel latch should be engaged in the
farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a proper seal, tighten the latch screws
evenly until the unit is snug in the panel (Torque to approx. 28 to 36 in-oz [0.202
to 0.26 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.

WARNING: Exposed line voltage exists on the circuit boards.
Remove all power to the meter and load circuits before
accessing inside of the meter.
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. To 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.
The Plug-in cards are separately purchased option cards that perform specific
functions. The cards plug into the main circuit board of 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 Red Lion Controls Products are 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 a unit may be different
for various installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very
important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome
installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected
to protective earth.
2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield 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 to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the
unit is mounted.
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.
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 run through 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. Also, 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. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables is
effective. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (RLC part number FCOR0000)
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (RLC part number LFIL0000)
6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated
and conducted noise (EMI), some type of contact protection network is
normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. The most effective
location is across the load.
a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or metal oxide
varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is very effective at reducing
EMI and increasing relay contact life.
b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled by a transistor
switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the
transistor when the load is switched. One of the most effective ways is to
place a diode across the inductive load. Most RLC products with solid
state outputs have internal zener diode protection. However external diode
protection at the load is always a good design practice to limit EMI.
Although the use of a snubber or varistor could be used.
RLC part numbers: Snubber: SNUB0000
Varistor: ILS11500 or ILS23000
7. Care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the
instrument. When a separate input and output common is provided, they
should not be mixed. Therefore a sensor common should NOT be connected
to an output common. This would cause EMI on the sensitive input common,
which could affect the instrument’s operation.
