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.
