SERIAL ALTITUDE OUTPUT 

The EC2002 will output a formatted ASCII message on an RS232 Data Interface. This message contains the 
current pressure altitude with fixed reference to 1013.2milli-bars or 29.92 inches mercury. All formats use 8 
data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit & no parity.

The format of the serial altitude data is determined by the position of a set of six switches inside the case. To 
access the switches remove the 4 case screws located at the corners of the case, and lift the top cover off the 
base. The switches are located near the DB15 connector (refer images).
