MODEL CUB5I - MINIATURE ELECTRONIC 5-DIGIT DC CURRENT METER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CUB5 provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from its complete user
programming to the optional setpoint control and communication capability.
The CUB5I accepts a DC Current input signal and provides a display in the
desired unit of measure. The meter also features minimum and maximum
display capture, display offset, units indicator, and programmable user input.
The display can be toggled either manually or automatically between the
selected displays.
The CUB5 display has 0.48" (12.2 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in
two versions, reflective and red/green backlight. The backlight version is user
selectable for the desired color and also has variable display intensity.
The capability of the CUB5 can be easily expanded with the addition of
option cards. Setpoint capability is field installable with the addition of the
setpoint output cards. Serial communications capability for RS232 or RS485 is
added with a serial option card.
The CUB5 can be powered from an optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor
Power Supply (MLPS), which attaches directly to the back of a CUB5. The
MLPS is powered from 85 to 250 VAC and provides up to 400 mA to drive the
unit and sensors.
CURRENT
The CUB5I is the DC Current meter. It features 4 current input ranges, that
are selected by the user via a programming jumper and software input range
selection. The ranges consist of following: 200 A, 2 mA, 20 mA, or 200 mA.
Users should select the appropriate current range that covers their maximum
signal input.

1.0 INSTALLING THE METER
2.0 SETTING THE JUMPERS
INPUT RANGE JUMPER
This jumper is used to select the proper input range. The input range selected
in programming must match the jumper setting. Select a range that is high
enough to accommodate the maximum signal input to avoid overloads. To
access the jumper, remove the rear cover of the meter.
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.

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.

WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power
supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed
(stranded wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct
screw-clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify
tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two
#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).
EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although this meter is designed with a high degree of immunity to Electro-
Magnetic 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 meter may be different for various
installations. The meter 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 troublesome installation.
Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. The meter should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly
connected to protective earth.
2. 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 meter and leave the other end of the
shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.
3. 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 ran 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.
4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far as possible
from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.
5. 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 # 1 VR3
Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.
6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.
7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across
inductive loads suppresses EMI.
Snubber: RLC# SNUB0000.

The Plug-in cards are separately purchased option cards that perform specific
functions. The cards plug into the main circuit board of the meter CAUTION: The Plug-in cards and main circuit board contain static sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge
static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare
metal object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled
clean workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges.
Dirt, oil or other contaminants that may contact the cards can
adversely affect circuit operation.
REMOVING THE REAR COVER
To remove the rear cover, locate the cover locking tab below the 2nd and 3rd

4.3 INPUT WIRING
CAUTION: Power input common is NOT isolated from user and input
commons. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the
power input common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live
earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth
ground potential. If not, hazardous voltage may be present at the signal
or user inputs and input common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then
be given to the potential of the user and input commons with respect to earth
ground; and the common of the plug-in cards with respect to input common.
Before connecting signal wires, the Input Range Jumper should be verified for
proper position.

5.0 REVIEWING THE FRONT BUTTONS AND DISPLAY
SEL RST
PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (SEL BUTTON)
It is recommended all programming changes be made off line, or before
installation. The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters
can be programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by
pressing and holding the SEL button. If it is not accessible then it is locked by
either a security code, or a hardware lock.
MODULE ENTRY (SEL & RST BUTTONS)
The Programming Menu is organized into separate modules. These modules
group together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate
between Pro and the present module. The RST button is used to select the desired
module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the SEL button.
MODULE MENU (SEL BUTTON)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The SEL button is pressed to advance to a particular
parameter to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding
parameters. After completing a module, the display will return to Pro NO.
Programming may continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The RST button is used to move through
the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the SEL button, stores and
activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter to the next
parameter.
For numeric values, press the RST button to access the value. The right hand
most digit will begin to flash. Pressing the RST button again increments the
digit by one or the user can hold the RST button and the digit will automatically
scroll. The SEL button will advance to the next digit. Pressing and holding the
SEL button will enter the value and move to the next parameter.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (SEL BUTTON)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the SEL button with Pro NO
displayed. This will commit any stored parameter changes to memory and
return the meter to the Display Mode. (If power loss occurs before returning to
the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 1 and proceed through each module in
sequence. When programming is complete, it is recommended to record the
parameter programming and lock out parameter programming with the user input
or programming security code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 2. This is useful
when encountering programming problems.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter

If the displayed value is difficult to read due to small process variations or
noise, increased levels of filtering will help to stabilize the display. Software
filtering effectively combines a fraction of the current input reading with a
fraction of the previous displayed reading to generate the new display.
Filter values represent no filtering (0), up to heavy filtering (3). A value of 1
for the filter uses 1/4 of the new input and 3/4 of the previous display to generate
the new display. A filter value of 2 uses 1/8 new and 7/8 previous. Afilter value
of 3 uses 1/16 new and 15/16 previous.

FILTER BAND
The filter will adapt to variations in the input signal. When the variation
exceeds the input filter band value, the filter disengages. When the variation
becomes less than the band value, the filter engages again. This allows for a
stable readout, but permits the display to settle rapidly after a large process
change. The value of the band is in display units, independent of the Display
Decimal Point position. A band setting of ‘0’ keeps the filter permanently
engaged at the filter level selected above.

SCALING STYLE
If Input Values and corresponding Display Values are known, the Key-in
(KEY) scaling style can be used. This allows scaling without the presence or
changing of the input signal. If Input Values have to be derived from the actual
input signal source or simulator, the Apply (APLY) scaling style must be used.

DISPLAY OFFSET VALUE
The display can be corrected with an offset value. This can be used to
compensate for signal variations or sensor errors. This value is automatically
updated after a Zero Display to show how far the display is offset. A value of
zero will remove the effects of offset.

General Notes on Scaling
1. When using the Apply (APLY) scaling style, input values for scaling points
must be confined to the range limits shown.
2. The same Input Value should not correspond to more than one Display Value.
(Example: 20 mA can not equal 0 and 20.)
3. For input levels beyond the programmed Input Values, the meter extends the
Display Value by calculating the slope from the two coordinate pairs (INP1 /
dSP1 & INP2 / dSP2).

Entering Code 66 will overwrite all user settings with
the factory settings. The meter will display rESEt and then
return to CodE 00. Press the SEL button to exit the module.

The CUB5I uses stored current calibration values to
provide accurate current measurements. Over time, the
electrical characteristics of the components inside the
CUB5I will slowly change with the result that the stored
calibration values no longer accurately define the input circuit. For most
applications, recalibration every 1 to 2 years should be sufficient.
Calibration of the CUB5I involves a current calibration which should only be
performed by individuals experienced in calibrating electronic equipment.
Allow 30 minute warm up before performing any calibration related procedure.
The following procedures should be performed at an ambient temperature of 15
to 35 °C (59 to 95 °F).
CAUTION: The accuracy of the calibration equipment will directly affect the
accuracy of the CUB5I.
Current Calibration
1. Connect the negative lead of a precision DC current source with an accuracy
of 0.01% or better to the COMM terminal. Leave the positive lead of the DC
current source unconnected.
2. With the display at CodE 48, press and hold the SEL button for 2 seconds.
Unit will display CAL NO
3. Press the RST button to select the range to be calibrated.
4. Press the SEL button. Display reads 0.0A
5. With the positive lead of the DC current source unconnected, press SEL.
Display reads CALC for about 8 seconds.
6. When the display reads the selected range, connect the positive lead of the DC
current source to INP+ and apply full-scale input signal for the range. (Note:
For 200 mA range, apply 100 mA as indicated on the display.)
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each input range to be calibrated. When display
reads CAL NO, press the SEL button to exit calibration.

The Security Code determines the programming mode and the accessibility
of programming parameters. This code can be used along with the Program
Mode Lock-out (P-Loc) in the User Input Function parameter (Module 1).
Two programming modes are available. Full Programming mode allows all
parameters to be viewed and modified. Quick Programming mode permits only
the Setpoint values to be modified, but allows direct access to these values
without having to enter Full Programming mode.
Programming a Security Code other than 0, requires this code to be entered
at the CodE prompt in order to access Full Programming mode. Depending on the
code value, Quick Programming may be accessible before the CodE prompt
appears (see chart).
