How to setup the CUB5P panel meter for the first time

18 Jul 2025

PLEASE NOTE:

When setting up the CUB5P there is an input signal range jumper under the rear cover that will need to be set for your application's analog input level.  See page 3 of CUB5P product manual. Display scaling is also done via the front keypad.

Direct power connections to the CUB4P unit require a 12 or 24 VDC power source.  If all you have available is standard 120 VAC, an optional rear mount power supply can be purchased.  Red Lion part numbers. 

MLPS1000 12 VDC output 

MLPS2000 24 VDC output.

IN THIS ARTICLE

  • Wiring of CUB5P panel meter.
  • Optional program lockout function.
  • Example unit scaling procedure.
  • Style applied input scaling method. 

 

To complete the setup of a CUB5P unit, proceed as below.

  1. First, if this application is using a 0-10VDC input signal, the input range jumper is factory set. If you are using a 4-20 mA input, consult page 3 of the product manual to set the input jumper for current by removing the rear cover for access.
  2. Connect the signal + wire to the input terminal of the CUB5P unit.
  3. Connect the signal – wire to the common terminal of the CUB5P unit.
  4. Connect your power supply V+ wire to the +9-28 Vdc terminal of the CUB5P unit.

Optional program lockout function 

 

There is a program disable mode available in the CUB5P unit. This can be programmed by entering menu 1-INP, under parameter USR IN, and set as PLOC function. Then add a jumper across rear terminals USR COM and USR to activate. This is optional if a program disable feature is desired.

 

Example unit input scaling procedure

 

End user has a transducer with a 4-20 Ma output and wants the display scaled to read PSI.  Pressure range of the transducer is 0-1000 PSI. 

The CUB5P scales the input via firmware settings. Please see Page 7 of the CUB5P product manual.  

Given the above example, you would program Menu 1-INPUT as follows. 

  • RANGE 0.02A
  • DECPT  0
  • OFSET  0
  • FILTR    1
  • BAND  10
  • STYLE KEY
  • INP1   4.00
  • DSP1   0
  • INP2   20.00
  • DSP2   1000

The above example was scaled using the STYLE KEY method. The end user knows the input signal type as well as the transducer range.  If the signal type is known, but not the range of the transducer.  The CUB5V can be scaled using the active input signal level and then scaled to a known reference value using the STYLE APLY method. Please see page 7 of the CUB5V product manual.
