  • Page 17: Meter System Overview

    LectroCount LCR 600 (in LPG applications, they are often plumbed to a 3-way solenoid which is wired to the LectroCount LCR 600). Optical air eliminators use an optical sensor to monitor liquid levels and a solenoid-actuated valve to turn the vapor vent on and off. The optical sensor and the solenoid valve are connected to the LectroCount LCR 600 by separate data cables.
  • Page 18 By slowing the flow rate, valves can lessen the hydraulic shock incurred by the meter system upon shut off and provide accurate preset deliveries. Many valves use solenoid-operated valves that require a hard-wired data connection to the LectroCount LCR 600. See manuals M400-11 and M400-40.
