Analogue panel meters
June 2007
Temperature Measurement
Red Lion's CUB5 series of analogue panel meters has been enhanced by the addition of models for thermocouple inputs and for DC voltage inputs. The meters offer user-programmability, optional setpoint control and communication capabilities.
The CUB5TC model accepts a thermocouple input and displays temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The CUB5V accepts a DC voltage input signal and displays in the desired unit of measure. Both models feature minimum and maximum display capture, display offset, and a programmable user input. The LCD display has 12,2 mm high digits, and is available in two versions, reflective and red/green backlight, and can be toggled manually or automatically between the available display options.
The capability of the CUB5 can be expanded by the addition of option modules. Setpoint capability is field-installable with the addition of setpoint output modules while serial communications capability for RS232 or RS485 can be added using a serial option module.
The display series can be powered from an optional micro-line/sensor power supply (MLPS), which attaches directly to the back of the display. The MLPS supply can be from 85 to 250 V a.c. and it provides up to 400 mA to drive the unit and sensors.
