How to setup LCR.iQ Internal Bluetooth Configuration

Article Summary:

This article shows you the how to configure the LCR.iQ's internal Bluetooth for LCP communication to work with New Mobile Delivery. This is an alternative setup to Bluetooth serial adapters such as Parani's and Fireflies. Please know that you will not need to use a Lap Pad Adapter however, you will still need to run the LCR.iQ's  25pin serial communication cable to the cab of the truck for Printer Communication.

*Note* For Dual Meter LCR.iQ Network Setup: This configuration only needs to be done on the master meter which is typically Meter 1. But you can still also change the Bluetooth Broadcast Device Name on Meter 2 to something like "LCR-iQ Meter 2 Do Not Use" if desired.

Environment:

• Cargas Energy
• New Mobile Delivery
• Liquid Controls LCR.iQ register

Prerequisite Steps:

• Before attempting to use the internal LCR.iQ Bluetooth, it is strongly recommended that an external antenna kit for the LCR.iQ be installed by your truck outfitter. The antenna should be placed as close to the cab as possible. Failure to use an external antenna may result in connection failure and/or frequent disconnects between the tablet and register.
• When utilizing the internal LCR.iQ Bluetooth receiver, the lap pad adapter is no longer necessary in the hardware configuration. However, the 25-pin communication cable does still need to be run to the cab for printer communication.
