DESCRIPTION

The CUB4L8W offers a large display in a miniature package. The CUB4L8W 

(8-digit counter with voltage input) has a choice of three displays; reflective, red 
backlight or green backlight.

The backlight versions require power from an external 9–28 VDC supply. The 

optional power supply (MLPS) is designed to be attached directly to the rear of 
the CUB4L8W and is powered from an 85–250 VAC source. The power supply 
provides 12 VDC @ 400 mA to power the backlight and sensor, if required.

The  CUB4L8W  has a lightweight, high impact plastic case with a clear 

viewing window. The sealed front panel with the silicone rubber reset button 
meets NEMA 4X/IP65 specifications for wash-down and/or dusty environments, 
when properly installed.
