An electronic digital controller, such as a load cell indicator, is disclosed
in which a number of components, such as a circuit board, display, and keypad are
placed within an enclosure, and the enclosure is bonded closed, such as using an
adhesive, to render the enclosure watertight. The keypad is a touch sensitive,
capacitive keypad with no moving parts, and it is housed behind a rigid panel.
An optoelectronic transceiver allows for data exchange with an electronic memory
device housed in the adhesively sealed enclosure and allows for data exchange and
for updating or modification of software code housed therein. Other components,
such as another circuit board, a power supply, and block connectors, are placed
in an adjacent enclosure, and the circuit boards in the two enclosures are electrically
connected. The power supply is preferably a potted AC power supply but may also
include a battery.
