Environmental Sealing Guidelines
The LCR-II includes sensitive electronic components, including a micro-controller that can be damaged by the
presence of moisture. Therefore, it is essential that all conduit ports, the cover, and the shaft seals be adequately
sealed by the installer to ensure watertight integrity. The conformal coating on the board and a moisture-absorbing
desiccant inside the enclosure mitigates the problem of corrosion due to moisture, but these measures only protect
the board from small amounts of moisture trapped inside the enclosure when the lid is closed in humid conditions.

4. Seal the cover bolt and the switch plate bolts with a wire/lead seal. See Weights & Measures Seals on pg. 33.
After the LCR-II is powered correctly, continue on to the LectroCount LCR-II Setup and Operation manual to setup the LCR-II for
operation. You will want to setup and test the LCR-II before closing and sealing the unit.
IMPORTANT: Before Sealing the LCR-II
Any water or moisture damage to the LCR-II as result of improper sealing will not be covered under the product warranty.
