LiquiCount fluid counter questions and answers

The LiquiCount LC1 is a standalone electronic pulse counter designed to convert signals from existing sensors into meaningful fluid-volume readings. It is intended primarily for monitoring anti-ice and de-ice fluids used by air-side ground support vehicles.

The LC1 does not come into contact with or measure the liquid directly. It counts pulses generated by a compatible flow sensor or pump and can therefore be calibrated for anti-ice, de-ice and other fluids used by air-side ground support vehicles, provided a suitable sensor is installed.

LiquiCount counts electrical pulses generated by a connected sensor. Each pulse represents a fixed quantity of liquid. Using a configurable calibration value (K-factor), LiquiCount converts the pulse count into a calculated volume displayed on the screen.

LiquiCount supports pulse inputs from sensors operating at 5 V and 12–24 V. The correct sensor voltage must be selected during installation or configuration to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage.

Yes. The LC1 is compatible with a range of pulse-output devices used in anti-ice and de-ice fluid systems, including proximity sensors, Hall-effect sensors and pulse-generating pumps. Compatibility depends on the sensor providing a clean digital pulse within the supported voltage range.

Yes. The LC1 has been designed so that servicing and repair are possible. This can help extend product life and reduce the cost and waste associated with replacing a complete failed unit.

Accuracy depends on the quality of the sensor and correct calibration. The LC1 counts the pulses received from the connected sensor. System accuracy is verified by calibrating the K-factor against a known volume of anti-ice or de-ice fluid using an appropriate external reference or test method.

A K-factor defines how many pulses correspond to a specific volume of liquid, such as pulses per litre. LiquiCount allows the K-factor to be configured through its menu system so the displayed volume matches the measured flow.

Yes. LiquiCount uses non-volatile memory to retain configuration settings and critical data. In the event of a power loss, stored values are preserved and restored when power is reapplied.

Volume counts can be viewed directly on the LCD display. Reset functions are available through the user interface, with confirmation prompts to help prevent accidental resets.

Yes. LiquiCount supports litres, gallons and item counts. Units can be selected through the menu system, and the display updates to reflect the chosen unit.

LiquiCount is designed with compliance and traceability in mind. Suitability depends on the complete installation, application and applicable requirements. The device must be installed and configured in accordance with the current product documentation and relevant standards.

LiquiCount is designed to meet applicable UKCA, CE, FCC and ICES requirements, including EMC standards such as EN 61326-1. Refer to the current Declaration of Conformity and supporting technical documentation for confirmed compliance details.

Yes. The LC1 can be configured through its calibration and display settings to suit different anti-ice and de-ice fluid systems, vehicle configurations and operating requirements.
