1. Depressurize the meter completely.
See Warning on pg.
10.
2. Remove the mechanical register from the meter.
3. Leave the star-shaped gear and the two square-head
studs.
4. Remove the bellows from the front of the meter.
5. Remove the compensator.

1. Install the drive fork and extension piece (pictured below)
on the pulser drive shaft located on the bottom of the
LCR 600.
2. Install the bracket on the meter, and fasten with the bolts
provided in the kit.
3. Lower the LCR 600 on to the bracket, and securely fasten
using the four bolts (¼" x ¾") provided.

temperature compensated Neptune meters
1. Place the shaft adapter on the pulser drive shaft under
the LCR 600.
2. Place the cotter pin through the hole, and bend open the
ends of the cotter pin.
3. Pass the other end of the shaft adapter through the
flange assembly and the weather plate.
4. Loosely bolt to register.
5. Place the drive fork and extension piece on the shaft
using two more cotter pins.
6. Bolt the flange to the meter and tighten all bolts.
Installation kits 82641 (E-26 series) & 82642 (E-36
series) are specifically designed for previously temperature
compensated Neptune meters.
Apply anti-seize to all bolt threads to ensure
easy removal at a later date.
Apply Anti-seize
When the register is lowered onto a Neptune meter, make sure
the drive fork is not pressed against the star gear on the meter.
There must be a small gap between these two parts. To lower
the star gear, loosen the set screw on the side of the star gear.
Failure to do so will eventually damage the internal pulser and/
or the meter gear train.

rouTInG lCr 600 daTa and PoWer Cables
data and Power Cable
The LCR 600 shipment typically includes a gray 40'
power cable and a 40' black data cable prewired to
terminal blocks on the LCR 600 CPU board. On typical
truck installations, the cables must be routed from the
back of the truck, where the LCR 600 is installed, to
the front of the truck, where the accessory panel is and
the printer is typically installed. The black data cable
connects to the printer, typically mounted in the truck
cab. The gray power cable hooks up to a power source.
During installation, follow these guidelines and ensure
the cables remain undamaged.
Guidelines for routing the data and power cables
on the outside of the truck
•
LC recommends that both cables be run through ¾”
automotive plastic corrugated split loom or through
flexible liquid-tight conduit for protection.
•
Make sure the loom or conduit runs down the inside edge
of the trucks frame rail and fasten every 2’ with cable ties.
•
Install rubber grommets to protect the cables where they
pass through the cab wall, meter box, etc.
•
Keep the cables away from heat sources such as the
engine exhaust, manifold, exhaust pipe, mufflers, etc.
•
If the cable glands are removed from the register, apply
pipe sealant or PTFE tape on the gland threads before
re-installing.
•
Keep cables away from moving suspension components
and other moving truck components.
•
If the cables are shortened, make sure you use the
proper tool for stripping off the insulation on the cables.
•
Make sure cables are connected to the proper terminal.
Instructions for hooking up
power to the printer and the
LCR 600 begin on pg. 29.
Guidelines for routing the data and power cables
inside the cab
•
Layout positions for the component and pathways for the
cables before beginning.
•
Make sure the printer and the wires will not obstruct other
vehicle components.
• Keep cable pathways away from heavy traffic areas and
locations where they may be vulnerable to damage.
•
Remember to save room around the components so
cables can be easily connected.
•
Avoid installing the cable where it will be exposed to
excessive flexing.
•
Make sure cables are not pulled too tight in areas that will
move. For example, when wiring cab-over trucks, leave
enough slack so the cab can be tilted without damaging
the cable.
•
Make sure cables are not fastened to adjustable seats.
