The LCP-45 is designed to be mounted in the horizontal plane using two 6 pin 0.1” headers onto another PCB. Alternatively it can be clamped or bonded in place with a header for connection. The connection details are shown below. The power can be supplied either to Connector 2 (3.3V) or to Connector 1 (5-15V). DO NOT CONNECT POWER TO BOTH SUPPLIES AT THE SAME TIME The products are type approved to in accordance with the following directive(s): EMC Directive 2004/108/EC And it has been designed, manufactured and tested to the following specifications: BS EN61326-1:2006 Electrical equipment...

level developments LCP-45 : Dual Axis Inclinometer, ±45° range, RS232 OutputControl Command Set Data is transmitted and received over RS232 in full duplex mode. The default configuration is with the baud rate set to 38.4kbps, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. All commands are lower case and 7 bytes long. The time between each character of the command must be less than 100ms otherwise the device will discard the command. The settings are all stored in non volatile memory. Level Developments Ltd.
