Crimson offers standard drop-down menu commands, that of the CUB5 USB Programming plug-in card for the CUB5. The plug-in card is a separately purchased option card that plugs into the main circuit board of the make it easy to program the CUB5 meters. The CUB5 program can then be saved in a PC file for future use. A CUB5 serial plug-in card is required to meter. The CUB5USB card in conjunction with the Crimson programming software enables the user to configure CUB5 on a PC. The CUB5USB requires program the meter using the software. installation of drivers which are included with the Crimson Programming software. Following installation of the drivers, the card appears as a Virtual communications port. INSTALLING PLUG-IN CARDS SPECIFICATIONS The card plugs into the main circuit board of the meter as shown. Perform USB driver installation below prior to powering the CUB5USB PROGRAMMING CARD CUB5 and connecting CUB5USB to a PC USB port.

A display of at least 800 by 600 pixels A USB port for downloading to the CUB5 WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before installing Plug-in card. ORDERING INFORMATION MODEL NO. DESCRIPTION PART NUMBER CAUTION: The Plug-in cards and main circuit board contain static sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static CUB5USB CUB5 USB Programming Card CUB5USB0 charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal CBLUSB Type A to B USB Cable CBLUSB00 object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean SFCRD* Crimson 2 PC Configuration Software SFCRD200 workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges.

Module 5 is the programming module for the Serial Communications METER ADDRESS Parameters. The only paramters of concern when utilizing the CUB5USB 0 to 99 programming option card to communicate with Crimson 2 programming Addr software is the Baud Rate and Meter Address. The Parameters are only 00 accessible when an optional CUB5USB, RS232 or RS485 serial communications card is installed in the meter. Enter the serial node address. With a single unit, an address is not needed and a value of zero can be used (RS232 applications). Otherwise, with multiple bussed units, a unique address number must be assigned to each meter. The Indicates Program Mode Alternating Display. node address applies specifically to RS485 applications. Parameter Selection/Value ABBREVIATED PRINTING * Factory Settings are shown.

This setting is applied to all the parameters selected in the PRINT OPTIONS. (Note: If the meter address is 0, the address will not be sent Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial communications equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving. during a full transmission.)

Set the word length to match the Request. A print request is also referred to as a block print because more than other serial communications equipment on the serial link. one parameter can be sent to a printer or computer as a block. Selecting YES displays a sublist for choosing the meter parameters to appear in the print block. All active parameters entered as YES in the sublist will be PARITY BIT* transmitted during a block print. Parameters entered as NO will not be sent.

For example, the Setpoint value(s) will not be sent unless an optional This parameter only appears when the Data Bit parameter is set to a 7-bit setpoint card is installed in the meter. data word length. Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial equipment on the serial link. The meter ignores parity when receiving data and sets the parity bit for outgoing data.
