Adding Option Card

The CUB5 meters can be fitted with an optional relay card. The details for the

plug-in card can be reviewed in the specification section below. The plug-in card
can be installed initially or at a later date.

Installation 

The meter meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The

unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel cutout
to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the panel
gasket  over  the  rear  of  the  unit  to  the  back  of  the  bezel.  The  unit  should  be
installed fully assembled. Insert the unit into the panel cutout. 

While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit

so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The panel latch
should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a 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.

SETTING THE INPUT DIP SWITCHES

The  meter  has  four  DIP  switches  for  Input  A  and

Input B that must be set before applying power. 

SWITCHES 3 and 4

HI  Frequency

:  Removes  damping  capacitor  and

allows max. frequency. 

LO Frequency

: Adds a damping capacitor for switch

contact bounce. Also limits input frequency to 50
Hz and input pulse widths to 10 msec.

SWITCH 2

SRC.

:  Adds  internal  3.9  K

pull-down  resistor, 

7.7 mA max. @ 30 VDC max.

SNK.

: Adds internal 7.8 K

pull-up resistor to +9 to

28 VDC, I

MAX

= 3.8 mA.

SWITCH 1

LOGIC

: Input A trigger levels V

IL

= 1.25 V max.; V

IH

= 2.75 V min. 

MAG

: 200 mV peak input (must also have SRC on). Not recommended with

counting applications.

To  access  the  switches,  remove  the  rear  cover  of  the  meter.  A  bank  of  4

switches is located in the upper right hand corner.

Warning

:  Exposed  line  voltage  exists  on  the  circuit  boards.

Remove all power to the meter and load circuits before accessing
inside of the meter.

REMOVING THE REAR COVER

To remove the rear cover, locate the cover locking tab below the 2nd and 3rd

input  terminals.  To  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.
