CALIBRATING THE DISPLAY

Calibrating the CUB4LP/CL requires either an accurate adjustable constant 

current supply or the CUB4LP/CL can be installed and scaled with the process 

sensor connected to the CUB4LP/CL. To calibrate the unit, proceed as follows.
1. Set DIP switching for the desired current range.

2. Select the desired decimal point position.

3. Apply the minimum input signal to the CUB4LP/CL and adjust the COARSE 

OFFSET to display the approximate desired minimum value.

4. Apply the maximum input signal to the CUB4LP/CL and adjust the COARSE 

SPAN to display the approximate desired maximum value.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the minimum and maximum values are within the 

desired values.

6. Apply the minimum input signal to the CUB4LP/CL and adjust the FINE 

OFFSET to display the exact desired minimum value.

7. Apply the maximum input signal to the CUB4LP/CL and adjust the FINE 

SPAN to display the exact desired maximum value.

8. Apply the minimum input signal and verify that the display indicates 

correctly.

9. Apply the maximum input signal and verify that the display indicates 

correctly.

10. Repeat Steps 6 through 9 until display reads exact.

Note: The CUB4LP/CL display is factory calibrated to indicate 0.0 to 100.0 

with an input of 4 to 20 mA at approximately 25°C.

DECIMAL POINT POSITION SELECTION

The decimal point position is DIP switch selectable for one of three locations.  

The CUB4LP/CL can be set up to read in 10ths, 100ths, or 1000ths.  If all the 

DIP switches are set to the “OFF” position, no decimal point will appear on the 

display.  The DIP switches are located at the rear of the unit.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE

Operation of a refinery process required a local display of the position of a 

remote pipeline valve. The display would indicate 0 (zero) when the valve was 

fully closed with an input signal of 4 mA. When the valve was fully open the 

display would indicate 100 with an input signal of 20 mA.

Both the CUB4LP and the CUB4CL meet the necessary requirements.
