Signal Specification

All the values given below are between the respective terminal in column 1 and terminal #A2 in column 2 (power ground) unless otherwise stated in brackets after the table entry.

NOTE: It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.
U= DC voltage in volts (V) Ulow = Voltage approximately 0 V
Ubat = Battery voltage (V) - -
