lC fueling systems overview
LC Fueling Systems (Delivery, EZConnect, FlightConnect) are automated data acquisition and management systems
designed for specific fueling applications. They acquire metrological and transaction data on fueling vehicles and
transmit the data to the office computers.

Typically mounted to the back or side of a delivery
vehicle, the metering system accurately measures,
stops and starts the flow, and preserves the purity of
the metered product. A Liquid Controls metering system
can include the meter, LCR electronic register, strainer,
ETVC (temperature compensation) probe, air eliminator,
and control valve.

software can run on a DMS in-cab computer, in
conjunction with a LectroCount LCR-II electronic register.
The DMS is an in-cab computer with a heavy-duty lap
pad interface. The LCR-II compiles metrological data
during custody transfers and is Weights & Measures
approved. FlightConnect Fueling System software can
also run on a LectroCount LCR 600 electronic register.
The LCR 600 also compiles metrological data during
custody transfers and is Weights & Measures approved.
daTa Transfer
LC fueling systems can transfer data via a serial output
to a device such as a Wifi adaptor, RF transceiver, or
cell modem. Cell modems enable long distance wireless
data transmissions between LCR 600s and DMSs in
the field and computers in the office. Cell modems and
service contracts must be purchased separately from a
cellular service provider. RF transceivers are designed
for short, line-of-sight wireless transmissions of data.
Serial Wifi adaptors can be adapted to an existing Wifi
network within the customer framework. Wifi range
is typically very limited, but can be used if the Fueling
System uploads and downloads data from a location that
is Wifi -enabled on the users network. Liquid Controls
does not provide Wifi adaptors, however your distributor
or IT Professional should be able to recommend one. A
USB Flash Memory Device can also be used to transfer
data between the DMS and computers in the office.

fueling system databases and transferring fueling data
files into third-party software.
