Overview 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.
Overview Meter System Components Meter System A Liquid Controls meter system not only accurately measures product, it also regulates and purifies product flow in order to produce the optimal conditions for measurement. Optimal systems typically include an air/ vapor eliminator, strainer, meter, register, and control valve. The LectroCount LCR 600, a register, serves as the central controller of the meter system. Most components in the meter system are hard wired to the LCR 600 via data communication cables.
