9 Command Summary
Power Through DB9 Jumper
In order to provide power through pin 9 of the DB-9 Connector you must connect the Power Through
DB-9 Jumper labelled D, as illustrated below. This connection can be made using a zero ohm resistor,
recommended size 0603, or a solder bridge. The LK162B-7T allows all voltage models to use the power
through DB-9 option, see the Voltage Specifications for power requirements.

Protocol Select Jumpers
The Protocol Select Jumpers provide the means necessary to toggle the LK162B-7T between RS-232, TTL
and I²C protocols. As a default, the jumpers are set to RS-232 mode with solder jumps on the RS232
jumpers. In order to place the display module in I²C mode you must first remove the solder jumps from
the RS232 jumpers and then place them on the I
2 C jumpers. The display will now be in I²C mode and
have a default slave address of 80, unless changed with the appropriate command. Similarly, in order to
change the display to TTL mode, simply remove the zero ohm resistors from the RS232 or I²C jumpers
and solder them to the TTL jumpers.

The LK162B-7T-USB comes with a familiar Mini USB Connector to fulfill both communication and power
needs. The standard MiniB style header can be connected to any other USB style using the appropriate
cable. Most commonly used with a PC, this connection creates a virtual com port that offers a simple
power solution with a familiar communication scheme.
