The LC11 Controller uses two LS10 Sensors to maintain the liquid level in a cryogenic reservoir. A third LS10 Sensor is used to detect a "level alarm" condition. A jumper on the LC11 circuit board determines if the third sensor is used for a high or low level alarm. The LC11 is powered from 120VAC (230VAC optional) and is supplied as a circuit board with screw terminals and mounting holes.

The controller uses an on-board solid-state relay to operate a cryogenic solenoid valve (sold separately). The LC11 will activate the relay when the low-level LS10 sensor is no longer submerged in LN₂. Filling continues until the high-level LS10 sensor becomes submerged. As a safety feature, the controller will not initiate (or continue) a fill operation if any sensor is unplugged.

The LC11 circuit board is equipped with three jacks that accept the LS10 Sensors. Screw terminals are used to make all other connections to the LC11 circuit board. In addition to the power and relay terminals, the controller also has STATUS, ALARM and FILLING outputs as well as a TOGGLE input.

The STATUS output indicates that the sensors are installed and operating properly. If all three sensors are functioning, the STATUS output is connected to COMMON. Otherwise the STATUS output flashes between COMMON and open to indicate a fault condition. The FILLING output can be used by external equipment to monitor the LC11's filling status. This open-collector output is connected to COMMON only when the solid state relay is activated. The open-collector ALARM output is connected to COMMON when a level alarm is detected or if there is a sensor fault condition.

The TOGGLE input permits external control over the filling process. If the liquid level is between the two high and low sensors, then momentarily shorting the TOGGLE terminal to COMMON will cause the status of the controller to toggle from the filling state to the waiting state or vice versa. If the high and low sensors are both dry, shorting TOGGLE to COMMON will disable filling until TOGGLE is released from COMMON. Finally, If both sensors are wet (or if any sensor is unplugged), TOGGLE can be used to override the controller and force-fill the reservoir.
