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 CUB5I accepts a DC 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 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.

CURRENT

The CUB5I is the DC Current meter. It features 4 current input ranges, that
are selected by the user via a programming jumper and software input range
selection. The ranges consist of following: 200 A, 2 mA, 20 mA, or 200 mA.
Users should select the appropriate current range that covers their maximum
signal input.

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.

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.

2.0 SETTING THE JUMPERS

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 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

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.

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 (Red Lion Controls # LFIL0000)

6. T o 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.

or user inputs and input common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then
be given to the potential of the user and input commons with respect to earth
ground; and the common of the plug-in cards with respect to input common.

Before connecting signal wires, the Input Range Jumper should be verified for

proper position.

6.0 PROGRAMMING THE METER

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (SEL BUTTON)

It is recommended all programming changes be made off line, or before
installation. The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters
can be programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by
pressing and holding the
either a security code, or a hardware lock.

MODULE ENTRY (SEL & RST BUTTONS)

The Programming Menu is organized into separate modules. These modules
group together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate
between Pro and the present module. The RST button is used to select the desired
module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the SEL button.

MODULE MENU (SEL BUTTON)

Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The SEL button is pressed to advance to a particular
parameter to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding
parameters. After completing a module, the display will return to Pro NO.
Programming may continue by accessing additional modules.

SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY

For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The RST button is used to move through
the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the SEL button, stores and
activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter to the next
parameter.

For numeric values, press the
most digit will begin to flash. Pressing the RST button again increments the
digit by one or the user can hold the
scroll. The

SEL button will enter the value and move to the next parameter.

SEL button will advance to the next digit. Pressing and holding the

OVERVIEW

PROGRAMMING MENU

PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (SEL BUTTON)

The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the SEL button with Pro NO
displayed. This will commit any stored parameter changes to memory and
return the meter to the Display Mode. (If power loss occurs before returning to
the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)

PROGRAMMING TIPS

It is recommended to start with Module 1 and proceed through each module in
sequence. When programming is complete, it is recommended to record the
parameter programming and lock out parameter programming with the user input
or programming security code.

FACTORY SETTINGS

Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 2. This is useful
when encountering programming problems.

ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY

In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections and values for the parameter will be listed on the right.

SELECTION

rAN6E

Select the input range that corresponds to the external signal. This selection
should be high enough to avoid input signal overload but low enough for the
desired input resolution. This selection and the position of the Input Range
Jumper must match.

dECPt



Select the decimal point location for the Input, MIN and MAX displays. This
selection also affects the dSP1 and dSP2 parameters and setpoint values.

OFSEt



The display can be corrected with an offset value. This can be used to
compensate for signal variations or sensor errors. This value is automatically
updated after a Zero Display to show how far the display is offset. A value of
zero will remove the effects of offset.

FILtr



If the displayed value is difficult to read due to small process variations or
noise, increased levels of filtering will help to stabilize the display. Software
filtering effectively combines a fraction of the current input reading with a
fraction of the previous displayed reading to generate the new display.

for the filter uses 1/4 of the new input and 3/4 of the previous display to generate
the new display. A filter value of 2 uses 1/8 new and 7/8 previous. A filter value

SCALING STYLE

StYLE



If Input Values and corresponding Display Values are known, the Key-in
(KEY) scaling style can be used. This allows scaling without the presence or
changing of the input signal. If Input Values have to be derived from the actual
input signal source or simulator, the Apply (APLY) scaling style must be used.

INP 1



For Key-in (KEY) style, enter the first Input Value using the front panel buttons.

(The Input Range selection sets the decimal location for the Input Value).

For Apply (APLY) style, the meter shows the previously stored Input Value. To

retain this value, press the SEL button to advance to the next parameter. To
change the Input Value, press the RST button and apply the input signal to the
meter. Adjust the signal source externally until the desired Input Value appears.
Press the SEL button to enter the value being displayed.



The filter will adapt to variations in the input signal. When the variation
exceeds the input filter band value, the filter disengages. When the variation
becomes less than the band value, the filter engages again. This allows for a
stable readout, but permits the display to settle rapidly after a large process
change. The value of the band is in display units, independent of the Display
Decimal Point position. A band setting of ‘0’ keeps the filter permanently
engaged at the filter level selected above.

General Notes on Scaling

1. When using the Apply (APLY) scaling style, input values for scaling points
must be confined to the range limits shown.

2. The same Input Value should not correspond to more than one Display Value.
(Example: 20 mA can not equal 0 and 20.)

3. For input levels beyond the programmed Input Values, the meter extends the
Display Value by calculating the slope from the two coordinate pairs (
