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

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.
LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual
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.

LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual
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).

LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual
Setup and Operation
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 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.
It's just that simple.
Liquid Controls engineers took an aggressive approach by designing the LCR.iQ® from the
operator's perspective, as if little training should be required to use it. The result is a userguided, configurable interface that walks the operator through the fueling operation, minimizing
chance for error.
COMMON FUELING PROCESSES COMPLETED IN 3 STEPS OR LESS
User-configurable fueling processes control the number of steps required for the operator to
complete his or her delivery. Pump and print operations are complete in two steps, using one
function key!

OPERATOR FRIENDLY SCREENS WITH DAY / NIGHT MODES AND
BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
LCR.iQ screens adapt to the operator. Idle screen shows the last delivery data, changing to
full screen, active fueling mode with yellow background when Start is pressed. Operators have
the option to see fueling details during active fueling and can easily adjust screen brightness
and toggle between day or night modes for reduced eye strain.
SIMPLE METER CALIBRATION
The intuitive calibration of the LCR.iQ enables you to simply enter the "corrected prover" or
master meter volume, and it will do the rest. With up to 16 points of linearization, the LCR.iQ is
by far the most precise register ever made.

LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual
REAL-TIME ON-SCREEN DIAGNOSTICS
The LCR.iQ provides the operator with real-time diagnostics. It also provides an error indicator
and message for any error condition that arises. Also, the operator can easily print the report
for corrective action and reference.
SECURITY
The LCR.iQ® has been designed with the highest levels of securit,y according to Center for
Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks. As an Internet-enabled device, it is imperative that any
weights-and-measures-approved devices meet or exceed CIS benchmarks for security. This
level of stringency also provides a robust user level security to prevent tampering or
inadvertent access to forbidden areas and settings on the device. Safety and security go handin-hand, and these are the number one priority at Liquid Controls.
CONFIGURABLE DELIVERY SETUP
Guide the operator through the fueling process of your choosing. From basic pump-and-print to
presetting–either by volume or product weight. It's easy to adjust price per gallon, percent tax,
or select multiple deliveries on a single ticket.

Multiple Deliveries?
A list box in which you can specify if the Multiple Deliveries feature is to be on or off. If
Multiple Deliveries is set to Yes, you can fill multiple tanks at one location without being
affected by the No Flow Timer feature (see below. This only applies to the next delivery, and
will revert back to No automatically when the delivery completes.
If this field is set to No, any deliveries will need to be within the value specified in No Flow
Timer.
No Flow Timer
A numeric-only field for specifying the duration of the No Flow Timer. This is an internal timer
that begins when the LCR.iQ senses that there is no longer any product moving through the
meter. If this timer counts up to its set point, the LCR.iQ will assume that the delivery is
complete and a ticker will print automatically. The default value for this field is 180 (seconds).
Deactivate this feature by entering 0 seconds, which permits filling multiple tanks at a single
location simultaneously. The timer helps to ensure that deliveries are not split between
authorized and unauthorized locations. If the value is set to 0–or any value greater than 180–
and the Print Multiple Deliveries Per Site message is set to On, the Multiple Deliveries At
One Site message will print on the delivery ticket. (Maximum - 3600 Seconds)

Auxiliary 1 Output
A list box that determines how any digital output that is set to AUX 1 will operate on the
selected product. To control external components, there are several features in the LCR.iQ
that can be set to perform according to the Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 settings. This includes
pumps, injectors, PTO, throttle, alarms, and reset pulse, among others.
Options:
·
Off – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will always be off (inactive).
·
On – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will always be on (Active and
Sinking to ground).
·
On - During Active Delivery – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will
turnon (Sink to ground) when a delivery is started. It will turn off when the delivery is
complete.
·
On - During Run State – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will turn on
(Sink to ground) when a delivery is active and not paused. The output will be on when a
delivery begins. However, if the delivery pauses, the output will turn off until the delivery
resumes. If the End of delivery command is given, the output will remain off and the
delivery will end.
·
On - Flow Rate Monitor – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will be on
when a delivery is active. However, it will deactivate if the flow rate meets or exceeds 40
units/time. If the flow rate does not meet or exceed 40 units/time, the output will remain
on.
·
On - Reverse Flow – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will be off when
a delivery begins. It will only turn on when the register detects flow in the negative or
reverse direction.
·
Reset Pulse/Delivery Start – For any delivery that uses 3rd-party remote counters
requiring a reset pulse to 0.0, any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will
output a short pulse at the start of a delivery.
·

Calibrated Scaled Pulse Output – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings
willbe a calibrated pulse output that scales according to the Pulse Output
Frequency setting in the calibration mode.
Auxiliary 1 Flow Rate Toggle
A numeric-text field that can be used to program a flow rate set point when the Aux 1 is set to
Toggle flow rate. Auxiliary 1 remains activated above the set flow rate value and deactivates
when the flow rate falls below the value.
A common use for this output is an air operated valve (AOV) on the pump. When the flow rate
value is attained, the AOV is activated switching the pump from low-bypass pressure mode to
full-flow fuel mode (high bypass pressure). When the flow rate falls below the set value, the
AOV deactivates and the pump returns to low-flow.
Another possible output is the engine throttle—to increase and decrease the RPM of the pump
shaft. In applications such as these, the flow rate value in this field should be below the lowflow rate with a fully open nozzle—or the output will never turn on.
Another application of this field is to set the value as a maximum flow rate at which a valve
should be closed. On fuel delivery trucks, flow valves often activate an internal switch at
approximately 18 GPM (68 LPM). The value of this field is unique to each product.
Auxiliary 2 Output
A listing that determines how any digital output that is set to AUX 2 will operate on the
selected product. To control external components, there are several features in the LCR.iQ
that can be set to perform according to the Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 settings. This includes
pumps, injectors, PTO, throttle, alarms, reset pulse, among others
Options:
·
Off – Any output set to AUX 2 Calibration Mode Settings will always be off (inactive).

·
Falling - The inverted pulse output square wave from the LCR.iQ
Auxiliary 1 Output – A list box that determines how any digital output that is set to AUX 1 will
operate based on the selected product on the LCR.iQ. There are several features in the
LCR.iQ that can be performed based on the Aux settings to control external components such
as pumps, injectors, PTO, throttle, alarms, reset pulse, etc.
Options:
·

on (Sink to ground) when a delivery is started and will turn off when End is pressed and
the delivery is complete.
·
On - During Run State - Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will turn on
(Sink to ground) when a delivery is active and not paused. The output will be on when a
delivery starts. However, if the delivery is paused by issuing a stop command, the output
will turn off until the resume command is given. If the end of delivery command is given, the
output will remain off and the delivery will end.
·
On - Flow Rate Monitor - Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will be on
when a delivery is active, however it will deactivate if the flow rate meets or exceeds 40
units/time. If the flow rate does not meet or exceed 40 units/time, the output will remain

LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual
·
On - Reverse Flow - Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will be off when
a delivery starts, and will only turn on when the register detect flow in the negative or
reverse direction.
·
Reset Pulse/Delivery Start - Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will
output a short pulse at the start of a delivery that is used with 3rd party remote counters
that require a reset pulse to reset to 0.0.
·
Toggle Flow Rate - Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will turn on once
the flow rate of the LCR.iQ exceeds the set flow rate point in the Auxiliary 1 Flow
RateToggle field below.
·
Calibrated Scaled Pulse Output - Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings will
output a calibrated pulse output–that is scaled according to the Pulse Output Frequency
setting in the calibration mode.
Auxiliary 1 Flow Rate Toggle – A numeric text field that can be used to program a flow rate
set point when the Aux 1 is set to Toggle flow rate. Auxiliary 1 remains activated above the set
flow rate value and deactivates when the flow rate falls below the value.
A common use for this output is an air operated valve (AOV) on the pump. When the flow rate
value is attained, the AOV is activated and switches the pump from low-bypass pressure
mode to full-flow fuel mode (high bypass pressure). When the flow rate falls below the set
value, the AOV deactivates and the pump returns to low flow. Another possible use for this
output is the engine throttle—to increase and decrease the RPM of the pump shaft. In
applications such as these, the flow rate value in this field should be below the low flow rate
with a fully open nozzle or the output will never turn on. Another application of this field is to set
the value as a maximum flow rate at which a valve should be closed. On fuel delivery trucks,
flow valves often activate an internal switch at approximately 18 GPM (68 LPM). The value of
this field is unique to each product.
Auxiliary 2 Output – A list box that determines how any digital output that is set to AUX 2 will
operate based on the selected product on the LCR.iQ. There are several features in the
LCR.iQ that can be performed based on the Aux settings to control external components such
as pumps, injectors, PTO, Throttle, alarms, and reset pulse.
Options:
·
Off - Any output set to AUX 2 Calibration Mode Settings will always be off (Not active)

LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual
Product # – A list box containing the 16 products that are available for setting up and
calibrating the LCR.iQ.
NOTE:
·
Products 1-16 are available for setup. Only setup and calibrate products that are to be
used by the LCR.IQ.
The LCR.iQ provides two means of calibration, single-point [Calibration screen (1/4)] or multipoint calibration [Calibration screen (4/4)].
A “point” corresponds to a particular flow rate along the meter linearity curve. Single-point
calibration adjusts one point along the linearity curve to zero percent error—typically at a flow
rate representative of a normal delivery. Since meter linearity varies at different flow rates,
and every meter behaves differently, the more points of calibration will generally result in more
accurate fluid measurement.
Multi-point calibration zeroes the percent error at multiple flow rates (between the rated
lowest flow rate and highest flow rate of the meter) in order to zero-out the linearity curve
across the rated flow range.
To multi-point calibrate the meter using the LCR.iQ (Calibration screen 4/4), first select point
#1 and enter the lowest flow rate measured. Then, enter the % error measured at that flow
rate. Repeat this for points 2 through the highest number of points measured (up to 16 points
available).
Linearization Mode – A list box for applying a multi-point calibration. Setting this field to
Applied will activate multi-point calibration–if all parameters are met for using multi-point
calibration.
Linearization Prover Qty – A numeric only text field for performing a multi-point calibration on
the currently selected product on the LCR.iQ. This field is used during multi-point calibration to
enter the known prover quantity of a volumetric proving device or master meter. Following a
multi-point calibration run, entering a value into this field will automatically prompt the user to
select a point to apply the run to, followed by a prompt to enter the flow rate that was used
