Small digital panel meter provides complete programming capabilities

Red Lion Controls Inc. has introduced the CUB5 digital series of panel meters. "The CUB5 can do everything the larger meter can do, but now gives users ultimate flexibility with its complete programming capabilities," says Jeff Thornton, Product Manager for Red Lion. "With these intelligent features, users are now able to control everything from digital display intensity to update time and input functions.

The CUB5 dual counter/rate model can be programmed to function as a dual counter or as a counter with rate indication. It features programmable decimal point and scaling for both count and rate displays, along with input programming to accept bi-directional or quadrature signals.

The CUB5T timer model can be programmed to function as an elapsed timer or as a preset timer. It offers eight different input operating modes and 18 selectable timer ranges, bi-directional timing capability, and a built-in cycle timer.

Both models offer the option of adding a relay output module, a communications module, or one of each.

The communications module is available in RS232 and RS485 formats and provides serial ASCII communications for sending and receiving data through the meter.

All CUB5 models can be programmed using the front panel keys; however with the addition of the communications module, the CUB5 can be easily programmed with Red Lion's free Crimson 2.0 software. This user-friendly software makes programming easy and allows for program data to be saved for later retrieval or the ability to easily program multiple units. The software is compatible with CUB5 meters as well as digital and analog PAX meters.

The CUB5 can also be powered with an optional Red Lion model MLPS1 power supply which attaches directly to the back of the unit. The MLPS1 is powered from 85 to 250VAC and provides up to 400mA to drive the unit and any attached sensors.
