lectroCount lCr 600 overview
General InforMaTIon
The Liquid Controls LectroCount LCR 600 is a
microprocessor-based electronic meter register that
can be used for Weights & Measures approved custody
transfer actions in mobile or fixed installations. The LCR
600 can control a meter system as a stand-alone unit,
or it can be used as a slave to a host controller such
as a process controller or an in-cab data management
system. The LCR 600 is a self-contained unit. All
operation, setup, and configuration functions can be
carried out using the LCR 600s red selector switch and
the alphanumeric keypad. No lap pads, laptops, or other
data entry devices are required. A seperate software
program for PCs, EZCommand, is available to configure
LCR 600s using a laptop computer.
InPuTs
In order to calculate flow measurements from a positive
displacement meter, the LCR 600 receives a pulse input
from an internally mounted quadrature pulser that is
mechanically connected to the flow meter (retrofit kits
are available for installation onto Neptune, Brooks, and
Smith positive displacement meters). This pulse output
can also come from a Liquid Controls external POD
pulser or another pulse generator. In addition to the
pulse input, the LCR 600 is equipped with an input for
a temperature probe, so the register can compensate
volume measurements according to the temperature of
the product.
ouTPuTs
The LCR 600 is equipped with a scaled pulse output,
two auxiliary outputs, and two solenoids outputs. These
outputs allow the LCR 600 to communicate with meter
system accessories such as solenoid-controlled valves,
optical air and vapor eliminators, remote displays,
printers, and third-party devices.
CoMMunICaTIons
The LCR 600 is capable of interfacing in RS-232 and
RS-485 communication protocols.
housInG
The LectroCount LCR 600 housing and base are
aluminum die cast and powder coated. The hinge door
design provides easy access to the internal connections
and a Weights and Measures sealable fastener
opposite the hinges. There are seven machined ports,
five ½" NPT ports and two ¾" NPT ports, on the back
of the LectroCount LCR 600 to provide secure cable
connections for all external devices.
dIsPlay
The display is backlit, transflective 5.7” QVGA display. It
is legible in direct sunlight and at night.
alPhanuMerIC KeyPad
The LCR 600’s alphanumeric keypad consists of 14
domed keys. The keys collapse and pop up to give a
tactile, positive confirmation of keystrokes. The keypad’s
multitap functionality allow users to input up to four
characters with one key.
seleCTor sWITCh
The selector switch controls basic stop, run, print and
shift print delivery functions. To perform calibration
functions the cover plate must be removed and the
selector switch turned to the six o’clock position.
