LCR.iQ Product Manual
Congratulations on ownership of the new LCR.iQ electronic meter register and controller. This
manual provides the technical details on installation, hardware, setup, operation, and
regulatory information for the LCR.iQ electronic register.
The LCR.iQ electronic register calculates, monitors and records volumetric data from bulk flow
meters, provides fluid transfer process customization and automation, ties in critical system
sensors and inputs, and bridges data communication between the operator, the equipment,
and the operator’s back office if necessary.
The LCR.iQ electronic register is specially designed to work with leading bulk fuel meters such
as LC and Avery-Hardoll, but will easily retrofit into existing systems with other flow meter
brands.
LCR.iQ provides many new features, yet supports backward compatibility with LCR-II and
LCR-600.

LCR.iQ Overview
About the LCR.iQ
The Liquid Controls LCR.iQ 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.iQ is a self-contained unit. All operation, setup, and configuration
functions can be carried out using the LCR.iQ's function keys and alphanumeric keypad. No lap
pads, laptops, or other data entry devices are required.
A complete Liquid Controls meter system not only accurately measures product, it also
regulates product flow and removes contaminants in order to produce the optimal conditions
for measurement. Typical systems include an air/vapor eliminator, strainer, meter, register,
and control valve.
Basic Functions
The principle functions of the LCR.iQ registers include:
· Weights & Measures custody transfer (product delivery and ticket generation)
· Metrological data collection
· Preset deliveries by volume
· Multiple product selection
· Multi-point meter calibration
· Security settings
· Air and vapor elimination (with proper accessories)
· Single and dual stage valve control (with proper accessories)
· Electronic Temperature Volume Compensation (ETVC)

OBSERVE NATIONAL & LOCAL CODES
Power, input, and output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with the area
classification for which it is used (Class I, Div 2). For North America, installations
must be per the U. S. National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical Code in order to maintain Class I, Division 2 ratings. This may require
using connections or other adaptations in accordance with the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction.
Peripheral equipment must be suitable for the hazardous location where it is
installed. (L'équipement périphérique doit être adapté à la zone dangereux où il
est installé.)
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
When in hazardous locations, turn power OFF before replacing or wiring
modules. (Lorsque dans des endroits dangereux, coupler le courant avant de
remplacer ou de câbler des modules.)
DO NOT disconnect equipment unless power has been switched OFF or the area
is known to be Non-Hazardous. (NE PAS déconnecter l'équipement san coupler
l'alimentation ou sans s'assurer que la zone est non dangereuse.)
WARNING: Use 3.5 in • lb (0.4 N • m) torque when tightening terminal block
screws.

ESD Protection
ESD Precaution
Opening LCR.iQ Registers
Follow this procedure each time you open a LCR.iQ register or approach it with the door
open: Before opening the LCR.iQ register and handling the CPU board, it's important to
discharge any ESD that may have built up on your person. To discharge ESD from your
person, touch a well-grounded point–such as the LCR.iQ register housing, the meter, truck
piping, or the bumper. When the maintenance is complete and the LCR.iQ register door is
closed, the CPU board is protected from ESD by the LCR.iQ register housing which is
grounded to the chassis.
Preventing ESD Damage
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the LCR.iQ electronic register, truck
installations must properly ground the truck seat cushion and the Epson printer chassis.
Prolonged exposure to ESD over weeks, months, or years can corrupt register memory and
damage the electronic components in LCR.iQ registers (as well as other electrical components
in the truck’s electrical system).
Adjustable, shock-absorbing seats, if not grounded correctly, generate significant amounts of
ESD. The pivots and hinges of these seats isolate the seat cushion from an electrical ground.
Without proper bonding, static electric charge builds between the seat cushion and the
operator. This electric charge can enter the LCR.iQ register from any point in the truck
electrical system, including register power and printer cabling.
Liquid Controls Grounding Kits
All LCR.iQ truck installations must have grounded seats and printers using the following kits:
· LCR.iQ Ground Strap Kit (LC Part Number 82185)
· Epson Printer Ground Wire Kit (LC Part Number 82184)
Properly grounded seats allow static electricity to ‘bleed off’ before it can build up, discharge,
and damage the LCR.iQ register or other electrical components.

The Epson Printer Ground Wire Kit is included with each Epson printer cable kit shipment. For
existing installations and previously purchased registers / printers, both ground kits are
available from LC.
Grounding with a Meter Mount or Remote Mount
In a LCR.iQ installation where the register is mounted directly to the meter, the LCR.iQ
housing is grounded through the meter. If the register is not mounted on the meter, you must
ensure the LCR.iQ housing is grounded properly.
Alternate grounding methods for remote mounted registers
For installations where grounding the register housing through a mount is not possible, an
external grounding screw hole is available. This hole requires a #8-32 x 1/4” ground screw–
which is supplied with the register (the LC part number for the screw is 08254)–and also a 12
gauge or larger stranded wire connected to a known ground (less than 1 ohm).
Another option is to connect the ground screw 8-32 x 1/4” ground screw (inside the LCR.iQ
housing) to a 12 gauge or larger stranded wire connected to a known ground (less than 1
ohm).
