5TC - MINIATURE ELECTRONIC 5-DIGIT  

     THERMOCOUPLE 

METER

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 Celsius or Fahrenheit. 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.
