An electronic device has a chassis with an open state and a closed state. The chassis has a first portion, a second portion, and a perforated hinge. The first portion has a first outer edge and a first inner edge. The second portion has a second outer edge and a second inner edge. The perforated hinge has a plurality of perforations. The perforated hinge is positioned between the first portion and the second portion at the first inner edge and the second inner edge. The first portion, the second portion, and the perforated hinge are integrally formed from a continuous piece and the perforated hinge is deformable to mate the first outer edge to the second outer edge in the closed state.

During shipment or other handling events, it is necessary to protect a liquid level controller from damage by manually engaging a lever locking mechanism to secure a lever assembly of the liquid level controller. The lever locking mechanism must be manually disengaged prior to calibrating or putting the liquid level controller into operation. To better facilitate an operator in monitoring the state of the lever locking mechanism, a sensor is coupled to the lever locking mechanism to detect whether the lever locking mechanism is in a locked or unlocked position. This information is then provided to the operator via a user interface. Compared to current visual inspections, the use of the sensor is more robust and reliable, and provides a simple non-contact method for determining the state of the lever locking mechanism.
