DESCRIPTION

The CUB7 series is an 8-digit lithium battery powered miniature counter or
timer with large 0.35" (8.9 mm) high digits. It has an LCD read-out available in
Positive Imagine Reflective, Negative Image Transmissive with yellow/green or
red backlighting. The backlight versions require an external 6-26 VDC power
supply. The CUB7 series is housed in a lightweight, high impact plastic case
with a clear viewing window. The sealed front panel with silicon rubber keypad
meets NEMA 4X/IP65 specification for wash-down and/or dusty environments,
when properly installed with supplied panel gasket and mounting clip.

Both counter and timer CUB7 models are available with a low voltage input
(28 VDC max) or an isolated high voltage input (50-250 VDC/VAC). The low
voltage input has DIP switch selections for SINKING or SOURCING along
with a HIGH/LOW FREQUENCY selection (low frequency for contact inputs).
Both units have front panel keypads that can be used to reset the display. The
keypad can be enabled/disabled via a single DIP switch. The standard unit uses
22 gauge wires for external connections, an optional plug-in terminal block is
available.

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 CUB7 series of products meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements for
outdoor use, when properly installed. The units are intended to be mounted into
an enclosed panel. The viewing window and reset button are factory sealed for
a washdown environment. A sponge rubber gasket and mounting clip are
provided for installing the unit in the panel cut-out.

The following procedure assures proper installation:

1. Cut panel opening to specified dimensions. Remove burrs and clean around

panel opening.

2. Carefully remove and discard the center section of the gasket. Slide the panel

gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel. Insert the mounting

screws onto both sides of mounting clip. The tip of the screw should NOT

project from the hole in the mounting clip.

3. Install the CUB7 unit through the panel cut-out until the front bezel flange

contacts the panel.

4. Slide the mounting clip over the rear of the unit until the clip is against the

back of the panel. The mounting clip has latching features which engage into

mating features on the CUB7 housing.

Note: It is necessary to hold the unit in place when sliding mounting clip into

position.

5. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure. Visually
inspect the front panel gasket. The gasket should be compressed to about 75
to 80% of its original thickness. If not, gradually turn mounting screws to
further compress gasket.

6. If gasket is not adequately compressed and the mounting screws can no longer
be turned, loosen mounting screws, and check that mounting clip is latched
as close as possible to the panel.

7. Repeat from step #5 for tightening mounting screws.

WIRING OVERVIEW

Electrical connections are made to the #22 AWG colored wires protruding
from the rear of the unit. When using the optional terminal block, the #22 AWG
colored wires are cut off and electrical connections are made via screwless type
terminal block. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling and wire terminations should conform to appropriate
standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended
that the backlight power supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse
or circuit breaker.

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.

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 # FN610-1/07 (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.

USING THE COLOR CODED WIRES

The low voltage input units will contain three or four color coded wires

depending on the backlight power requirements.

The high voltage input units will contain (2) orange wires and an additional

two or three wires depending on the backlight power requirements.

The tables define the function of each colored wire.

1. Remove the rear cover. Refer to Figure 1. A small slotted screwdriver is
required to release the side latches. Insert the screwdriver tip between the
rear cover and the side of the unit. Leverage the screwdriver away from the
case to unlatch the side latch and slightly lift the rear cover. Pinch the
corners to hold the rear cover in place. Remove the screwdriver and repeat
the same procedure on the other side of the rear cover. When both side
latches are released, slide the rear cover from the unit and the wires.

2. For safety concerns, the wires should be cut off completely flush with the PC
board to prevent a short.

3. Break out the break away tab(s) as required. Remove the left tab only for 3
position terminal block or both tabs for 4 and 5 position terminal blocks.

4. Reinstall the rear cover into CUB7 unit.

5. Mount the CUB7 into the panel (refer to 1.0 Installing The Meter)

6. Push the keyed terminal block onto the exposed PC board. The left most
terminal, next to the DIP switch(s) is terminal #1.

Note: Wire sizes 16-24 AWG may be used with 0.25" length exposed. The

screwless type terminal block requires a small slotted screwdriver engaged in
the upper slot to open the wire clamp in the lower larger slot. Removing the
screwdriver will lock the wire clamp unto the wire.
