Red Lion Controls CUB5B000 Miniature Electronic 8-Digit Dual Counter and Rate Indicator

The Red Lion Controls CUB5B000 is a miniature electronic dual counter and rate indicator engineered for precise counting and rate monitoring in compact industrial environments. This 8-digit LCD display unit tracks two separate counts or simultaneous count and rate data with user-selectable green or red LED backlighting. The CUB5B000 supports bi-directional counting, quadrature sensing up to 4× resolution, and eight distinct count modes. Its programmable scaling and decimal point configuration accommodate custom engineering units, while an internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistor and anti-coincidence mode enable flexible input handling across encoder, magnetic, sinking (NPN), sourcing (PNP), and TTL signal types.
