Page 13: Electrical Connections
13/25 7 Electrical Connections Sensors LCI401, LCI1200, LCI1201 and LCI1600 are powered using a Hybrid 8-pin M12 type cable (X2 - Phoenix 1407488). The same cable offers general purpose inputs, which can be used for synchronization purposes. The sensor communicates with PC via Ethernet (CAT5E cable is recommended). All routers must be 1 Gigabit Ethernet routers. - Page 14 2020-03-10 FOCALSPEC User guide LCI401-1200-1201-1600 v2.7 14/25 There are two indicator LEDs next to the connectors on the connector panel. The status LED turns red if the sensor is not connected to a PC or a router, whereas a green light indicates that the connection is established.
