More Information

The LX1 is not available in DIY kit form. LX1 uses robust surface mount technology and requires special construction techniques to achieve its reliability. Note the high contrast shown in the image at right taken indoors during daytime lighting conditions.

LX1 case size is 68 x 42 x 13 mm (slightly smaller than 2.7" x 1.7" x 0.8"). The black case is made from high temperature ABS plastic. The LCD screen, normally mounted vertically, has been designed to be viewed from above as this is the orientation normally chosen for gauges to avoid ambient reflections - note that this is opposite to the orientation of LCD screens used on common items like calculators that are designed to be laid flat.

LX1 has two buttons (A=left and B) like our other displays. One button changes the view (up to 4 views available) and the other is used with our logging controllers to stop/start on-board logging.

LCD displays do not produce their own light like LED displays. Backlighting enables the LX1 to be view at night. The backlighting colour has a slight bluish tinge and gives it a modern appearance. Refer to the image at left showing the backlighting visible at one edge of the screen.

LX1 is supplied with a 1.8 m (~6') cable with RJ45 (8 pin) end connector for direct connection to all existing WBo2 controllers. A reprogramming adaptor (shown at right) is also supplied to update the firmware and to configure the display functions.
