  INTERNAL LITHIUM BATTERY PROVIDES UP TO 7 YEARS OF 

UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION

  FIELD CONNECTABLE FOR FRONT PANEL RESET, REMOTE 

RESET, OR BOTH

  COUNT SPEEDS UP TO 5 KHz (High Speed Input)

  WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE -25° TO +75°C

DESCRIPTION

The CUB2L8 counter is powered by an internal lithium battery, which will 

provide up to 7 years of continuous operation. This counter has an 8-digit LCD 

display with 0.30" (7.6 mm) high digits.

This counter uses a CMOS LSI counter circuit chip, mounted on a gold-

plated substrate and electrically connected by ultrasonic wire-bonding. Internal 

electrical interface connections use elastomeric contacts to provide a gas-tight, 

corrosion resistant connection. Using the latest in micro-electronic assembly 

and manufacturing techniques provides units with the reliability and 

dependability required for industrial service.

The CUB2L8 is constructed of a rugged die-cast metal case with a clear 

viewing window. 

SPECIFICATIONS

1. 

DISPLAY:

 8-digit LCD, 0.30" 

(7.6 mm)

 high.

2. 

POWER SOURCE:

 Internal 3.6 V lithium battery to provide up to 7 years 

of continuous operation. Battery life is dependent upon usage. Count and 

reset contacts which remain closed for long periods of time will reduce 

battery life.

3. 

HIGH SPEED INPUT:

 5 KHz from 3.6 V bi-polar output with a 50% 

duty cycle.

4. 

LOW SPEED INPUT:

 30 Hz from switch contact or open collector 

transistor with a 50% duty cycle.

5. 

REMOTE RESET:

 15 msec min. pulse width 

(active low)

 from a 3.6 V 

bi-polar output or an open collector transistor or a switch contact to ground.

6. 

OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE:

 -25° to +75°C

7. 

CONSTRUCTION:

 Rugged die-cast metal case with a clear viewing 

window. Panel gasket and mounting clips included with unit.

8. 

WEIGHT:

 5.1 oz. (145 g)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

There are certain considerations that should be observed when running the 

count and control signal wires. A length of wire can act like an antenna and the 

closer it is to a source of electrical noise, the more it becomes susceptible to 

that noise.

There are a few rules that should be followed when running these wires.

1. Never run count or control signal wires in the same conduit or raceway with 

AC power lines, conductors that feed motors, solenoids, SCR controls, 

heaters, etc.

2. Signal wires within enclosures should be routed as far away as possible from 

contactors, control relays, transformers, and other electrically 

“noisy” 

components.

3. When shielded wire is used, connect the shield to the common of the CUB 

unit, and leave the other end of the shield disconnected and insulated from 

machine ground.

4. Mount the CUB2L8 in a panel that is grounded to the machine frame.

MODEL CUB2L8 - MINIATURE ELECTRONIC 8-DIGIT COUNTER 

DIMENSIONS & INSTALLATION

Counters should be mounted in a panel grounded to the machine frame. 

After cutting the panel opening, slide the panel gasket over the rear of the 

counter body to the back of the bezel lip. Then slide counter through the 

panel cut-out. Install mounting clips on each side of counter body with 

mounting screws. Make sure the side rails of the clips fit into the recesses 

in the side of the counter body so that the 

“Tang Ends”

 wedge between the 

panel opening and body as the screws are tightened.

Warning:

 Lithium battery may explode if incinerated. Signal input voltage 

should not exceed 3.0 VDC to prevent damage to the counter.
