lCr-II MoUnTInG Mounting overview Typically, the LectroCount LCR-II is mounted directly onto a flow meter; however, some fixed installations require the register be mounted away from the meter. If the meter is equipped with an external POD pulser, the LCR-II can be mounted up to 1000 wire feet (304 meters) away from the meter (actual distance depends on pulser specifications and wire type).

On typical truck installations, the cables must be routed from the back of the truck, where the LCR-II is installed, to the front of the truck, where the accessory panel is and the printer is typically installed.
A conduit kit (PN 81024), with a 30" length of weatherproof flexible conduit, is available from Liquid Controls to provide protection for the RTD temperature probe wire between the strainer cover and the LCR-II.
Single Stage (S1) Block Valve solenoid-operated valves must be wired to the LCR-II CPU board during installation. Liquid Controls offers single stage and two stage electronic valves. Single stage valves have one solenoid valve (S1) and two positions—an open position and a closed position.
