Red Lion CUB5 Elektronisk Dobbelttæller og Hastighedsindikator med Baggrundsbelysning Brugermanual

1. Introduktion og overview

The Red Lion CUB5 is a versatile electronic dual counter and rate indicator designed for industrial applications. It offers extensive user programming capabilities and optional relay output. This device can function as a dual counter with integrated rate indication. The display can be configured to toggle between selected readouts, either manually or automatically.

Key features include a 0.46-inch high digit display and a backlight version with user-selectable green or red illumination and adjustable intensity. The counter supports eight different count modes, including bi-directional and quadrature counting. When configured as a dual counter, each counter has independent scale factors and decimal points. In counter/rate indicator mode, both functions have their own scaling and decimal point readouts for different engineering units.

The CUB5 features two separate inputs, which perform different functions based on the selected operating mode. An anti-coincidence mode monitors both inputs simultaneously to prevent count loss, allowing the display to show the sum or difference of the two inputs. The Rate Indicator includes programmable low (minimum) and high (maximum) update times to optimize display response across various input frequencies. A programmable user input can be assigned to various functions.

The unit's capabilities can be expanded with optional modules, such as the CUB5RLY0 relay output module for setpoint functionality, or serial option modules for RS232 or RS485 communication. The CUB5 can be powered by an optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor Power Supply (MLPS1000), which attaches directly to the unit and provides up to 400 mA for the unit and sensors.

3. Opsætning og installation

3.1 Power Requirements

The CUB5 unit requires a 9 to 28 VDC power source. Ensure the power supply meets these specifications to prevent damage to the device. An optional Red Lion Micro-Line/Sensor Power Supply (MLPS1000) can be used, which provides up to 400 mA and attaches directly to the back of the CUB5.

3.2 Elektriske forbindelser

Connections are made using wire clamping screw terminals. Prepare wires with a 0.3-inch strip length. The terminals accommodate 30-14 AWG copper wire. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly wired according to the specific application and wiring diagrams provided in the full product documentation.

• Indgangsforbindelser: The CUB5 has two separate inputs. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram for connecting sensors or signal sources.
• Optional Module Connections: If using optional relay output (CUB5RLY0) or serial communication modules, connect them according to their respective installation guides.

3.3 Montering

The CUB5 features a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed front bezel, indicating it is designed for panel mounting and offers protection against dust and water jets. Install the unit into a panel cutout, ensuring the front bezel is properly sealed to maintain its environmental rating.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1 Grundlæggende betjening

Upon power-up, the CUB5 will display the configured counter or rate value. The unit's front panel includes two buttons: "SEL" (Select) and "RST" (Reset).

• SEL -knap: Used to navigate through programming menus and select options. In operational mode, it may be used to toggle between different display views (e.g., Counter 1, Counter 2, Rate).
• RST-knap: Used to reset counter values or confirm settings during programming.

4.2 Programmeringstilstande

The CUB5 offers extensive programming options accessible via the front panel buttons. Refer to the comprehensive programming guide for detailed instructions on configuring specific parameters. Key programmable aspects include:

• Optællingstilstande: Select from eight different count modes, including bi-directional counting and quadrature sensing.
• Scaling and Decimal Points: Configure independent scale factors and decimal point positions for each counter and rate indicator.
• Display Toggling: Set the display to automatically or manually switch between counter and rate readouts.
• Anti-Coincidence Mode: Configure the unit to monitor two inputs simultaneously, displaying their sum or difference.
• Rate Indicator Update Times: Adjust low and high update times for optimal response.
• User Input Function: Assign various functions to the programmable user input.
• Indstillinger for baggrundslys: Choose between green or red backlight and adjust display intensity.
• Preset Display Color Change: Program the display to change color when a preset value is reached.

5. Vedligeholdelse

The Red Lion CUB5 is designed for robust industrial use and requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

• Rensning: Periodically clean the front bezel and display with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the display or housing.
• Miljøbeskyttelse: The NEMA 4X/IP65 rating protects against dust and water. Ensure the unit's panel seal remains intact. If the seal is compromised, the environmental protection may be reduced.
• Forbindelser: Periodically check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or signal loss.

6. Fejlfinding

This section provides general troubleshooting tips. For specific issues, consult the full product manual or contact Red Lion technical support.

• Ingen skærm/strøm:
  • Verify the power supply is connected correctly and providing 9-28 VDC.
  • Check all power wiring for continuity and secure connections.
• Incorrect Counts/Rate:
  • Ensure input signals are within the specified frequency range (up to 20 KHz).
  • Check input wiring for proper connection and shielding.
  • Review programming settings for count mode, scaling, and decimal points.
  • Verify sensor operation and output.
• Visningsproblemer:
  • If the backlight is not functioning, check backlight intensity settings in programming.
  • Ensure the unit is operating within its specified temperature range.
