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

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

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.

Mobile/online version of this manual: https://www.lcmeter.com/manuals
 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).

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 user-
guided, 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.

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 hand-

Keypad Interface

Keypad
The LCR.iQ keypad serves as a tool for basic delivery functionality, data entry and screen
navigation. There are three sections of the keypad, including function keys, alphanumeric keys
and, navigation keys. See the detail explanations below.

Function keys provide a simple way to perform specific tasks such as starting a delivery,
setting a preset amount, or accessing a different menu. Each function key corresponds to an
onscreen action. The onscreen action of the function keys will vary on different screens or
menus.

Onscreen actions that appear in white are actions that are available to the user. Onscreen
actions that appear in gray are unavailable (in the current context). Onscreen actions that
correspond to a function key may have different background color for easier identification and
operation. In some screens, one or more of the function keys may not correspond to any
onscreen action. In such cases, the onscreen section for that function will be empty.

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

Alphanumeric Keys are primarily for data entry, such as setting a preset amount, entering a
delivery prompt, or programming the register. Each alpha-numeric key has the ability to display
multiple characters according to the number of times that you press a key. Press an alpha-
numeric key once to display the primary key function, which is the largest character shown on
each key. Here's an example: If the cursor is within an text box field, pressing the 5 key one
time will display the number 5.

Pressing an alpha-numeric key multiple times will display additional characters. These
additional characters are the smaller characters shown on each key. (Default setting is Caps
Lock set to Off, which results in lower case letters. Press the Caps Lock key to turn on
capitalization and enter all capital letters.) Let's extend the example above: With the cursor in a
text box field, pressing the 5 key twice (within 1 second) will display the letter J. Pressing the 5
key three times successively (within 1 second) will display a K; pressing the key four times will
display an L.

characters)

Product name
A text field for identifying the selected product with a specific name. This name will appear on
most ticket formats.

Preset Type
A list box for specifying how the LCR.iQ will react when it reaches the preset amount. The
choice here also affects when the end delivery command is sent and when the ticket will print.

Options:

· Clear – At the point when the LCR.iQ reaches the preset value, the delivery ends
automatically, the ticket is printed, and the preset value is set to 0.
· Multiple – At the point when the LCR.iQ reaches the preset value, the delivery is paused
but remains active until the user either (a) presses Resume, (b) sets a new preset and
presses Resume, or (c) ends the delivery by pressing the End & Print button and the
preset value is set to 0.
· Retain – At the point when the LCR.iQ reaches the preset value, the delivery
automatically ends, the ticket prints, and the original preset value is retained for the next

Gross Preset
A numeric text field for the gross preset value–if gross presets are accepted. (Maximum - 7
numeric characters)

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.

NOTE: There is also a printer parameter, Print Multiple Deliveries Per

Site Message in Register 3/3, that is directly affected by this setting.

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
turn on (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.
· 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 Rate
Toggle field. See below.

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

· Calibrated Scaled Pulse Output – Any output set to AUX 1 Calibration Mode Settings
will be 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 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 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).

· On – Any output set to AUX 2 Calibration Mode Settings will always be on (Active and

· 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 - 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 multi-
point 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

Performing a basic delivery with the LCR.iQ

Simple and easy. That was the goal when designing the operation of the LCR.iQ. Making a
delivery with the LCR.iQ can be as simple and easy as pressing the yellow Start key.

When you're ready to begin a basic delivery, press the Start key. The register will start the
reset process by completing a display test, then will reset to zero. At this time if the LCR.iQ is
connected to a flow control valve, the register will send a signal to open the valve and possibly
signal a pump to start . With the pump on, fuel will be begin to flow through the meter and
register on the display. The main delivery screen of the LCR.iQ will always default to the
active fueling screen with large, high resolution digits.

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

While a delivery is active, it is possible to view detailed delivery information by pressing the
Show Details button. The detailed information displayed is configurable depending on the
profile which can be configured on any register. A separate how to instruction on setting up a
profile is available.

To return to the default fueling screen, simply press the Full Screen button and the default
delivery screen will now be displayed.

At any time during the delivery, pressing the Stop key will pause the delivery by sending a
signal to the flow control valve (if installed) to close. You'll also see that the display now has a
Resume key.

Pressing the Resume key will resume the delivery after it is stopped by sending a signal to the
flow control valve to open.

To end a delivery, pressing the End or End and Print button will complete the transaction. If a
printer is connected, this will also print the delivery ticket.

Once the delivery is complete, the display will return to the Idle home screen and the LCR.iQ
is ready for the next delivery.

Performing a preset delivery - Preset Key

Presetting with the LCR.iQ is simple. There are a few different ways to enter a preset
depending on how the register is configured. The most basic way if presets are configured for
use, is when presetting is the only delivery setup option. In this case the LCR.iQ will display a
preset function key on the main delivery idle screen. If a preset is desired, simply press the
preset function key and a prompt to enter the preset amount will appear on the screen. Use
the alphanumeric keypad to type in the preset amount, then press OK to accept the amount
entered. Start the delivery as normal and your system will stop at the entered preset amount.

Using the Info button

The Info button is a helpful tool for the technician or user that does not have access to the
setup and operation manual when setting up and programming the register. Like the manual,
the Info button will give the user valuable information about the field and available
parameters.

Follow these steps:

1. To access information using the Info button, navigate to any available field and press OK
to access the field data.
2. Once in the field data, the screen will display a function key labeled Info.
3. Press the Info button and the screen will now display the info details.

List Boxes will display the default setting, current setting, field description and a list of
options that may also include detailed description information. Text Boxes will display the
default value, current value, minimum and maximum number of characters for the field or
minimum and maximum value for the field, accepted data type and a field description.

4. While in an info screen, text data can be entered, however the user must exit the info
screen to make a list box selection.
5. To exit an info screen, press the Close Info function key.

Performing a preset delivery - Delivery Setup

If you have configured delivery setup prompts including the preset field, press the Setup
Delivery function key and follow the on screen prompts until you see Enter Preset. After
entering the preset, press OK to accept the amount entered. Continue with any remaining
setup delivery prompts, then start the delivery as normal and your system will stop at the
entered preset amount.

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

Add to a Preset
If you have started a preset delivery and you need to add to the amount, or if you are using
the multiple preset type option, it is possible to add to or append the preset amount. Simply
press the Stop key, then press the Preset key and a prompt will be shown on the screen to
enter a new preset volume. Once the new volume is entered, press OK to accept the change
and then press the Resume button to continue fueling.

Selecting a Preset Type

When selecting a preset type, it is important to know how the register will be used in the
preset process. There are 3 options when selecting a preset type: Clear, Retain, and
Multiple. The best way to describe each is by example.

Clear a Preset
If you are currently using a mechanical preset, the clear option will best match this
functionality. A clear preset allows the user to set up a preset amount for a specific delivery.
Using the LCR.iQ keypad, enter the desired preset value by pressing the preset key or if using
the delivery setup mode, enter a preset when prompted. Once the preset is entered and the
delivery is started, the LCR.iQ will deliver the set preset amount and complete the delivery
once the amount is reached. With electronic registration this means that the end of delivery
command will be generated and if applicable, the completed delivery ticket will be generated.
This action will set the preset field back to zero (Clear) so the register is ready for the next
delivery. If the next delivery also requires a preset, the user will need to enter a new preset
amount following the same steps.

Retain a Preset
If you are planning to use the LCR.iQ for batching, the retain preset is the best option for this
process. Retain preset allows the user to set a preset amount on the register and retain that
amount from delivery to delivery, each time issuing an end of delivery command and resetting
the delivery amount back to zero but retaining the preset amount. The preset amount will be
retained until an operator sets a new preset mount or sets the preset back to zero for no
preset.

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

Multiple Presets
For applications in which you have an initial preset volume, but the final preset volume has not
been determined, it is best to use the multiple preset option. Multiple preset allows the user to
set a preset amount. However, once the preset is reached, the delivery is paused, not
completed. This allows the user to either add more fuel on top of the preset amount or set
another preset amount for the remaining amount. This process can be repeated over again
until such time that a final amount is determined. Once the final amount is determined, the
user issues the end of delivery command by pressing the End/Print key terminating the
delivery. At this time, the preset amount is set back to zero and the user must set a new
preset amount, if desired, for the next delivery.

Using the hose reset feature

The hose reset feature is a Weights and Measures requirement that allows the user a one-
time reset of the register back to zero after a delivery is started in order to charge the hose
with system pressure. This assumes that the amount to charge the hose is within the hose
reset features limits. The reason this feature is permitted, is that following a preset delivery,
the meters preset valve (on the outlet of the meter) closes once the preset amount is reached,
yet the fueling nozzle at the end of the hose is still open. This causes a small void in the
packing of the hose because of the loss of system pressure.

To use this feature, start a delivery on the LCR.iQ and engage the pump (apply system
pressure)–while leaving the nozzle closed. If the meter jumps up a few tenth of a unit, this is
because there was a void in the hose that has now been filled by adding the pump pressure. If
the amount is less than 1 gallon (or 4 Liters), the user is able to reset the register back to zero
by pressing the Stop key, followed by the Hose Reset key. At this time, the register will be
reading zero again and by pressing the Resume key, the user can continue with normal
delivery functions.

Single-point Calibration
Single-point calibration of the LCR.iQ is designed to be quick and easy. Calibration of the
LCR.iQ should be performed by a qualified Weights and Measures authorized or factory
trained technician. Typical calibrations are done using a volumetric prover, master meter or
inline SVP (Small Volume Prover). Ensure that all equipment is properly connected and lines
fully charged (pressurized) between the meter and proving device.

Mobile/online version of this manual: https://www.lcmeter.com/manuals
 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

To begin the calibration process, you must first put the LCR.iQ into the calibration mode by
removing any existing seal wire and loosening the calibration bolt on the side of the register
housing approximately 5-6 turns. If a ticket printer is connected to the LCR.iQ, make sure a
ticket is in place and the printer is ready. If connected, the register will print a calibration ticket
showing the current calibration information of the register. If no ticket printer is connected or
the calibration ticket is not desired, press the Abort key to skip the print process.

Once in the calibration mode, select the calibration option from the main menu to access the
calibration screens. If this is the first calibration for the register or if the calibration factor
(Pulse/Unit) has not been set for the meter that the register is connected to, it is recommend
to set a starting factor. This will save time and additional calibration runs as the register
adjusts the meters accuracy closer to zero error. See the recommended starting calibration
factor chart in the appendix of this manual for typical starting calibration factors and enter this
value in the Pulse/Unit field.

NOTE: Unit label will vary depending on the unit of measure that has
been set up in the LCR.iQ.

In the calibration screens you will notice that there is a yellow key labeled Run Calibration.
Pressing this key will begin the actual calibration process by performing the meter screen test
and resetting the delivery volume to 000.000. At the same time, the LCR.iQ will provide the
permissive signal to the valve output to allow flow through the meter.

NOTE: All deliveries in the calibration mode have a resolution to the

thousandths decimal place allowing for very precise calibration.

Flow product into or through the proving device at the normal (nominal) operating flow rate for
the meter until the desired calibration volume is reached. When calibrating the flow meter, it is
recommended that the calibration volume be greater than or equal to the high end flow rate
rating of the metering device (100 GPM = Minimum 100 Gallon prover).

Once the desired calibration volume is reached, pressing the End button will return the LCR.iQ
back to the calibration menu screens. Navigate the selection bar to the Prover quantity field,
and press OK. Enter the exact volume to the greatest detail that was registered on the proving

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

device, then press OK. At this point, the LCR.iQ will calculate the percent of error between the
prover and register, and automatically adjust the Pulses/Unit accordingly.

Repeat this process until the LCR.iQ register is within local Weights and Measures tolerance
or company regulations. Once all calibrations are made and setup is complete, tighten the
calibration bolt on the side of the LCR.iQ housing. If a ticket printer is connected and a final
calibration ticket is desired, insert a ticket before exiting calibration mode and a ticket will print
when prompted.

Multi-point Calibration
Multi-point calibration is used to improve the accuracy of a flow meter across its full rated flow
rate range, resulting in a much flatter accuracy curve. Accuracy of a flow meter tends to
lessen at lower flow rates however repeatability of the meter remains consistent. A meter
might not be perfectly accurate at low flow rates, but it is inaccurate by the same amount each
time. Multi-point calibration takes advantage of the steadfast repeatability of a Liquid Controls
meter by identifying the amount of inaccuracy and correcting it with a linearizing algorithm
during deliveries. In order to apply the linearizing algorithm, the degree of error for points along
the accuracy curve must be identified by making a number of deliveries at different flow rates
into a volumetric prover. Multi-point calibration is very beneficial for meter systems that
experience a wide range of flow rates (for example, trucks that fill tanks of varying sizes) and
for meter systems that have recently undergone maintenance or other alterations that could
change the accuracy curve itself.

To begin the multi-point calibration process, ensure the LCR.iQ is in the calibration mode by
removing any existing seal wire and loosening the calibration bolt on the side of the register
housing approx 5-6 turns. If a ticket printer is connected to the LCR.iQ, make sure a ticket is in
place and the printer is ready. If connected, the register will print a calibration ticket showing
the current calibration as well as any existing multi-point calibration information of the register.
If no ticket printer is connected or the calibration ticket is not desired, press the Abort key to
skip the print process.

Before starting the process of multi-point calibration, ensure that the initial single point
calibration has been completed and the meter is accurate and repeatable. All multi-point
factors are based on this initial calibration.

Once in the calibration mode, select Calibration from the main menu to access the calibration
screens. Scroll to Calibration screen 4/4 to access the multi-point calibration fields.

 LCR.iQ - Setup and Operations Manual

In the Calibration screen 4/4 you will notice that there is a yellow key labeled Run Calibration.
Pressing this key will begin the actual calibration process by performing the meter screen test
and resetting the delivery volume to 000.000. At the same time, the LCR.iQ will provide the
permissive signal to the valve output to allow flow through the meter.

NOTE: All deliveries in the calibration mode have a resolution to the

thousandths decimal place allowing for precise calibration.

Begin to flow product into or through the proving device ensuring that the metering system is
delivering at the flow rate for the desired multipoint calibration point.

Once the desired mult-ipoint calibration volume is reached, pressing the End button will return
the LCR.iQ to the Calibration menu screen 4/4. Navigate the selection bar to the Linearization
Prover Quantity field, and press OK. Enter the exact volume to the greatest detail that was
registered on the proving device, then press OK. The LCR.iQ will automatically display a
prompt to select which of the 16 available multi-point fields to perform the calibration. Next the
LCR.iQ will display a prompt to the flow rate of the previous delivery. Enter the flow rate that
was used for the multi-point calibration that was just performed. At this point, the LCR.iQ will
calculate the percent of error between the prover and register for the multi-point and
automatically add the % error amount. When complete, the screen will show the point on the
screen–together with the flowrate and % error.

Repeat this process, ensuring that the calibration process is accurate, repeatable and within
local Weights and Measures tolerance–or company regulations. Repeat this process for each
of the different multi-point calibration flow rate points that are desired.

Once all multi-point calibrations are complete, you must apply multi-point calibration. To do
this, you must ensure that the difference between adjacent multi-point flow rate errors does
not exceed +/- .25% or the LCR.iQ will not allow you to apply multi-point. If all adjacent %
error points are within this range, change the Linearization mode setting from Setup to
Applied. If within tolerance, the field will remain at Applied. If out of tolerance, this field will
toggle back to Setup and require additional low rate points to further improve the linear
accuracy with the +/- .25% range.

Once all multipoint calibrations are made and linearization has been applied, tighten the
calibration bolt on the side of the LCR.iQ housing. If a ticket printer is connected and a final

calibration ticket is desired, insert a ticket before exiting calibration mode and a ticket will print
when prompted.

Setting the S1 Close time

Setting the S1 closure time properly is an important part of the setup process when using a 2-
stage preset valve. If this value is not set correctly, it may cause the LCR.iQ to over or under
shoot the desired preset volume or cause long delays in reaching the final preset amount. S1
closure rates will depend on the flow rate of the system as well as the viscosity of the product.

A 2 stage preset valve is designed to allow a soft closure of the valve by transitioning from
high flow, to low flow before reaching final closure. This process greatly improves the ability of
the preset to stop at the exact volume desired. For the most accurate closure, it is best that
once the transition from high flow to low flow is made, the flow rate should stabilize at the low
flow rate for a few seconds before the final closure is reached.

The best way to figure out a proper setting for the S1 field is to set up the register for a
normal, non preset delivery, and then begin flow at the normal operating flow rate. Once at a
normal flow rate, press the Stop button on the register and watch the register closely to see
how many units are measure between normal flow to a full stop. This will help to determine
how many units of measure it takes to close the valve fully. Repeat this process two more
times and find the average close time.

Next, take the normal flow rate of the meter, calculate 2% of this number (for example, 2% of
100GPM = 2 units), then add this value to the valve close time. This number should represent
a closure time that is not too long or too short for the user and allow for accurate preset
volumes.

Here's an example: The valve close time of 2 gallons + 2% of normal flow rate is 2 GPM = 4
units to be set in S1 close field.

Enter the calculated value into the S1 close time field and give the system a final test to ensure
the LCR.iQ is now presetting accurately. If you find that the closure time is to long, minor
adjustments can be made to the S1 closure.

If you see that the unit is not presetting accurately, or it is over or under-shooting, then
increase the S1 closure until the issue is resolved or consult with a Liquid Controls factory
trained technician.

Setting up delivery ticket options

Setup of a delivery ticket on the LCR.iQ can primarily be completed in the Register screen 3/3.
In this screen, the base ticket format can be selected as well as additional printed lines that
are available.

The LCR.iQ has incorporated the 4 most common ticket formats from the past LCR family of
tickets as a baseline for setting up a ticket.

· Standard Long Form - This format is based on the original LCR ticket ST200. It contains
many details about the LCR.iQ setup, as well as the metrological data that is required to
print on every ticket.
· Standard Short Form - This format is based on the available LCR compressed ticket
formats ST202, ST208, ST215, ST221..etc. This format was originally designed to fit the
small print space of a mechanical ticket for customers that did not want to change their
ticket design. The base version of this ticket prints just the minimum required Weights and
Measures printed fields.
· Detailed With Totalizers - This format replicates the original LCR aviation ticket formats
ST210, ST247, ST250. This format contains detailed delivery information as well as prints
the start and end accumulative totalizers which is common in aviation and load rack
applications.
· Long Form without Time - This format replicates ST203.

Print the previous ticket

From the Idle delivery screen, it is always possible to reprint a copy of the transaction ticket
for the previous delivery. Press the function key labeled Print Last Ticket. Ensure that there is
a ticket in place and the LCR.iQ will issue the reprint command and print the ticket.
