DESCRIPTION
The CUB7W is an 8-digit miniature counter with large 0.35 inch (8.90 mm)
high digits. It has an LCD read-out available in Positive Image Reflective
(CUB7W000), Negative Image Transmissive with yellow/green backlighting
(CUB7W010) or red backlighting (CUB7W020). The backlight versions
require an external 9 to 28 VDC power supply.
The CUB7W accepts most machine control voltage signals. The input
accepts AC (50/60 Hz) or DC control voltages from 10 to 300 V at count speeds
up to 30 counts per second (cps).
The CUB7W counters use a CMOS LSI counter circuit chip, mounted on a
gold-plated substrate, that is electrically connected by ultrasonic wire-bonding.
Proven micro-electronic assembly and manufacturing techniques provide these
units with the reliability and dependability required for industrial service.
The CUB7W series is housed in 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.

The CUB7W accepts most machine control voltage signals. The input
accepts AC (50/60 Hz) or DC control voltages from 10 to 300 V at count
speeds up to 30 cps. The unit counts on the positive going edge of the input
signal.
WARNING: Any lead may be at hazardous live input potential.
External wiring and devices connected to the unit must be rated
the same as applied signal input voltage and be properly
isolated from Class 2 or SELV circuitry.
RESET OPTIONS
Connecting a wire from the RST. EN. (Reset Enable) Input terminal to
Common will enable the front panel Reset button.
Pulling the “RST.” input low causes the counter to reset. The “RST.” can
be pulled low by either a mechanical switch or solid-state transistor switch.
The Switch load is 15 µA (max. voltage drop 0.5 V) when ON. The OFF-state
leakage current must be less than 2 µA.
Note: The RC protection circuit on the “RST.” Input causes a delay of
approximately 15 msec in Reset response.

ENVELOPE PACKAGING APPLICATION
A customer has 18 envelope packaging machines to be upgraded. These
machines have existing preset counters for batching purposes. The customer
now wants to add totalizing capabilities. The CUB7W000’s low cost, battery
power operation, and 10 to 300 VAC/VDC input capabilities are perfect for
the upgrade. The existing photo-electric sensor’s 24 VDC signal, for the batch
counter, is paralleled to the CUB7W. Battery power is an advantage due to
the fact that no additional power supply lines are required. At the end of each
shift, the count is reset by a key switch RLC PT# (PKS10000) connected to
the Remote Reset input (5-RST).
BACKLIGHT OPTION
Optional backlight versions of the CUB7W require an external 9 to 26
VDC power supply. The external supply is connected between the V+ and
common terminals as shown in the drawing.
WARNING: When connecting the wiring for a backlit CUB7W
measuring an AC input voltage, the neutral of the single phase
AC signal is connected to Terminal 1 (COM), and line (hot) is
connected to Terminal 4 (LS). The DC supply for the
backlighting is connected as shown in the drawing. Three phase
AC applications require an isolation transformer.

LAUNDRY FACILITIES APPLICATION A family owned coin operated laundry installed a CUB7W000 (Positive
Image Reflective) on each of the 25 industrial washing machines in one of
their laundry facilities. The CUB7W000 was wired into the washing
machine’s 230 VAC power relay and increments one count each time the
machine begins a washing cycle. The count is recorded and reset at the end
of each month. Reset is accomplished with an external key switch. The
count value is used to compare the number of
times the machine was used against the money
collected for that machine. In addition, the usage
data collected is invaluable in determining the
location of the high traffic areas because of tables
or door locations. Rotating the machines within
the facility maximized the mechanical life of all
machines.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove all power to the unit before removing battery cover.
2. To remove the battery cover, push upward in the direction of the arrow on
the rear cover (See drawing at right), until the cover unlatches. Pull the
cover straight out from unit to fully remove.
3. Remove old battery* and replace it with an RLC battery (BNL10000).
Observe proper polarity when replacing the battery as shown in the
drawing.
4. Replace the cover. The battery cover is keyed so that it cannot be placed
upside down. The arrow on the rear of the cover should point toward the
top of the CUB7W when properly installed.
* - Dispose of properly.
WARNING: Lithium battery may explode if incinerated.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum
operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near
devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should be cleaned only 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.
Installation
The CUB7W meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements, for indoor use when
properly installed. The units are intended to be mounted into an enclosed
panel. The viewing window and reset button are factory sealed for a
washdown environment. A sponge rubber gasket and mounting clip are
provided for installing the unit in the panel cut-out.
The following procedure assures proper installation:
1. Cut panel opening to specified dimensions. Remove burrs and clean around
panel opening.
2. Carefully remove and discard the center section of the gasket.
3. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the counter body to the back of the
bezel. Install CUB7W unit through the panel cut-out.
4. Insert the mounting screws onto both sides of mounting clip. Tip of screw
should NOT project from hole in mounting clip.
5. Slide the mounting clip over the rear of the unit until the clip is against the
back of the panel. The mounting clip has latching features which engage
into mating features on the CUB7W housing.
Note: It is necessary to hold the unit in place when sliding mounting clip
into position.
6. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure.
Visually inspect the front panel gasket. The gasket should be compressed to
about 75 to 80% of its original thickness. If not, gradually turn mounting
screws to further compress gasket.
7. If the gasket is not adequately compressed and the mounting screws can no
longer be turned, loosen mounting screws, and check that the mounting clip
is latched as close as possible to the panel.
8. Repeat from step #5 for tightening mounting screws.

ORDERING INFORMATION
WIRING CONNECTIONS
The electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located
on the back of the unit. All conductors should meet voltage and current
ratings for each terminal. Also cabling should conform to appropriate
standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is
recommended that power supplied to the unit be protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker. When wiring the unit, use the battery cover to identify the
wire position with the proper function. Strip the wire, leaving
approximately 1/4" bare wire exposed (stranded wires should be tinned with
solder). Insert the wire under the screw-clamp and tighten down the screw
until the wire is clamped in tightly. Each terminal can accept up to two #14
AWG wires.
Warning: Lithium battery may explode if incinerated.
Caution: All leads will be at the same line potential as the input leads.
TROUBLESHOOTING

company numbers listed.
EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although this unit is designed with a high degree of immunity to
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods
must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the
electrical noise, source or coupling method into the unit may be different for
various installations. In extremely high EMI environments, additional
measures may be needed. The unit becomes more immune to EMI with fewer
I/O connections. Cable length, routing and shield termination are very
important and can mean the difference between a successful or a troublesome
installation. Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation
in an industrial environment.
1. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield
(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The
connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.
Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in
order of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth
ground (protective earth).
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.
c. Connect the shield to common of the unit and leave the other end of the
shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.
2. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC
power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and
heaters, etc. The cables should be run in metal conduit that is properly
grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation
is near a commercial radio transmitter.
3. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as
possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy
components.
4. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal
and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through
the core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional
protection. Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress
power line interference. Install them near the power entry point of the
enclosure. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:
Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC #FCOR0000)
TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A
Steward #28B2029-0A0
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN610-1/07 (RLC #LFIL0000)
Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07
Corcom #1VR3
Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.
5. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.
