lectrocount lcr 600 overview

general InformatIon

This manual provides instructions for the initial setup, the calibration, and the operation of the LectroCount LCR 600. The Liquid Controls LectroCount LCR 600 is a microprocessor-based electronic meter register.

Its primary functions consists of configuring the meter system to the properties of the liquids to be measured, interfacing with the electronic components of the meter system components (and external components such as pumps, injectors, and shutdown devices), and performing Weights & Measures approved custody transfer actions.

The LCR 600 performs well in mobile and fixed installations. It can control a meter system as a standalone unit or 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 entered using the LCR 600’s red selector switch and the alphanumeric keypad. No lap pads, laptops, or other data entry devices are required.

A point-of-sale upgrade or POS is available for the LCR 600. The POS upgrade gives the LCR 600 the ability to print tickets with pricing, taxes, discounts, and miscellaneous charges at delivery sites.

IntroductIon - lcr 600 InputS and outputS

lectrocount lcr 600 Inputs and outputs

The LCR 600 can communicate with a number of components on a Liquid Controls meter system. The following pages provide a brief description of the components, a drawing identifying these components on the meter system, and a list of the LCR 600 commands and fields that correspond to each component.

Internal pulSer

Typically, an internal pulser is mounted to the bottom of the LCR 600 housing. A small shaft extends from the bottom of the internal pulser through the LCR 600 housing where it attaches to a drive shaft. The drive shaft turns directly off of the rotors inside the Liquid

Controls meter. When the internal pulser shaft spins, the pulser manufactures a two channel quadrature pulse output. The LCR 600 uses the pulse output to calculate flow measurements. The number of pulses equal to a

unit of measurement is set during calibration and proving in the Pulse/Unit <k-Factor>: field.

temperature probe

The optional temperature probe, part of the Electronic Temperature Volume Compensation (ETVC) kit, monitors the temperature of the product being measured. Because the volume of many products expand and constrict considerably according to temperature fluctuations, the LCR 600 corrects the volume measurement to a base temperature (60º F for example).

prInter

Together, the LCR 600 and the Epson printer can print out four types of tickets (delivery, duplicate delivery, shift, and diagnostic). With the LCR 600 POS upgrade, delivery tickets can be configured to print completely priced tickets with complex tax and discount structures. The LCR 600 provides a “require ticket feature” to meet Weights & Measures standards and prevent unrecorded deliveries.

S1 SolenoId

When energized by the LCR 600, the S1 solenoidoperated valve opens the control valve on the outlet side of the meter, allowing product to flow through the valve.

When the S1 is deengergized, the control valve shuts off the product flow. The LCR 600 switches the S1 solenoid via the selector switch (RUN and STOP positions) and

during two stage preset deliveries (according to the S1 Close: value).

S2 SolenoId

The S2 solenoid-operated valve is used by two stage meter systems to provide a dwell flow for preset deliveries. Near the end of a two stage preset delivery, the LCR 600 de-energizes the S1 solenoid-operated valve to stop product flow. At the same time, the LCR

600 energizes the S2 solenoid to open a bypass pipe through which the remainder of the preset delivery

passes. The solenoids are switched at a preset

remaining volume or price determined by the value of the LCR 600 field S1 Close:.

S3 SolenoId

The S3 solenoid opens and close the vent ports of the meter system’s optical air (or vapor) eliminator. The LCR 600 energizes and de-energizes the S3 according to the optical sensor’s reading.

optIcal SenSor

An optical sensor detects the presence of liquid inside optical air (or vapor) eliminators. When the optical sensor does not detect liquid inside the optical air (or vapor) eliminator cavity, the LCR 600 de-energizes the S1 solenoid-operated valve and causes the control valve to close. At the same time, the optical sensor energizes the S3 solenoid-operated valve, opening the vent ports. As the air and vapor evacuates the cavity, the liquid level rises. When the level reaches the optical sensor, the sensor detects the liquid. The LCR 600 energizes the S1 solenoid, which opens the control valve, and deenergizes the S3 solenoid, sealing the vent ports.

∆P Transducer

The differential pressure transducer, common in aviation applications, monitors the differential pressure

(pressure drop) across a full flow fuel monitor/water coalescer. The highest differential pressure reached during the custody transfer is printed on the delivery ticket and displayed on the screen. If the differential pressure reaches a dangerous level, the LCR 600 can shut down the delivery. To set up a differential pressure shutdown value, a shutdown device (such as a valve or a dead-man) must be connected to the LCR 600, and

a differential pressure shutdown value must be entered into the dP Shutdown Value: field.

auxIlIary outputS

The LCR 600 provides three open drain transistor auxiliary outputs for different external devices such as

pump controls and additive injectors. Two of the outputs have settings that can be set in the Auxiliary 1 Output: (Off, On, On During Delivery, and Monitor

Flowrate) and Auxiliary 2 Output: (Off, On, On

During Delivery, and Flow Direction) fields. The LCR

600 also provides auxiliary output connections for the LectroCount Remote Display (other types of displays are usually compatible). Signals from these outputs duplicate the volume data sent to the LCR 600 display.

red Selector Switch

The LCR 600 red selector switch, located at the bottom left of the LectroCount LCR 600, has five positions. The selector switch’s primary purpose is to control everyday delivery and print functions. Functions include opening and closing the control valve in order to start and stop deliveries and prompting the printer to print delivery tickets and shift tickets.

thefIvepoSItIonSontheSelectorSWItch

Run - opens the control valve to begin a delivery Stop - closes the control valve to pause a delivery pRint - ends a delivery and prints a delivery ticket

Shift pRint - ends a shift, prints a shift ticket, and resets shift data in the LCR 600

Calibration position - allows access to calibration configuration settings.

Red Selector Switch

calIbratIon poSItIon

The red selector switch also provides a secure calibration position. When in the calibration position, the LCR 600 may be used to calibrate the meter and enter sensitive Weights & Measures data.

To turn the selector switch into the six o’clock calibration position, the LCR 600’s switchplate must be removed. To take off the switchplate, remove the four screws holding it in place. If the LCR 600 has been previously calibrated and approved by Weights & Measures, you will need to remove the lead seal and the wire threaded through the switchplate screws.
