GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CUB5 provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from it’s complete

user  programming  to  the  optional  relay  output  capability.  The  meter  can  be
programmed  as  a  single  or  dual  counter  with  rate  indication  capability.  The
display  can  be  toggled  either  manually  or  automatically  between  the
selected displays.

The CUB5 display has 0.46" (11.7 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in

two versions, reflective (CUB5R000) and backlight (CUB5B000). The
backlight version is user selectable for green or red backlighting with variable
display intensity.

The counter is programmable for one of eight different count modes,

including bi-directional and quadrature. When programmed as a dual counter,
each counter has a separate scale factor and decimal points. In the counter/rate
indicator mode, each have their own scaling and decimal point read-outs in
different engineering units.

The meter has two separate inputs which provide different functions

depending on which operating mode is selected. Input A accepts the signal for
the Count and or Rate displays, while Input B accepts the signal for the Count
display  or  direction  control.  In  the  anti-coincidence  mode,  both  inputs  are
monitored simultaneously so that no counts are lost. The resulting display can
be  chosen  as  the  sum  or  difference  of  the  two  inputs.  The  Rate  Indicator  has
programmable  low  (minimum)  and  high  (maximum)  update  times  to  provide
optimal display response at any input frequency. There is a programmable user
input that can be programmed to perform a variety of functions.

The capability of the CUB5 can be easily expanded with the addition of an

option module. Setpoint capability is field installable with the addition of the
CUB5RLY0, relay output module.

The CUB5 can be powered from an optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor

Power Supply (MLPS1000), which attaches directly to the back of a CUB5. The
MLPS1 is powered from 85 to 250 VAC and provides up to 400 mA to drive the
unit and sensors.

COUNTER

The CUB5 receives incoming pulses and multiplies them by the Count Scale

Factor. The unit’s counter (internal count value) keeps track of the scaled input
pulse count which results in the desired reading value for the count display. Input
A accepts the signal for the count and Input B is used for quadrature, dual counter,
anti-coincidence counting, or up/down control counting.

RATE

The rate indicator utilizes the signal at Input A to calculate the rate value using

a time interval method (1/tau). The unit counts on the negative edge of the input
pulses. After the programmed minimum update time elapses and the next negative
edge occurs, the unit counts the number or edges that occurred during the elapsed
time. The number of edges is multiplied by the rate scaling value to calculate the
rate value. At slower rates, averaging can be accomplished by programming the
rate minimum update time for the desired response. Extensive scaling capabilities
allow practically any desired reading at very slow count rates.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this

literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use this meter to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators

not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the meter.
