Notes

• All commands and responses are hexadecimal, case-sensitive (uppercase). Terminate every command with CR (0x0D).
• No connect/disconnect command — RS-232, keypad, and IR remote function simultaneously.
• Recommended delays: 10ms between characters, 100ms between commands. Some commands require 300ms, 3000ms, or 5000ms (noted per command).
• Basic control command format: C xx CR where xx is hex command code.
• Extended control command format: C F_ xx_## CR where _ is a space, xx is code, ## is parameter.
• Basic status request format: CR x CR where x is status item code.
• Extended status request format: CR_ xx CR where _ is a space.
• Source doc covers LX37/40/45/50/55 as a family — no LX-55-specific exclusions noted.
• Null modem RS-232 cable required. Terminal: 8-Pin Mini DIN. Cable >50ft should be low-capacitance shielded.
• Error codes: ? = unrecognizable data, 000 = normal, 101 = function unavailable in current mode, 102 = value out of range, 103 = command mismatch for hardware config.
