Help!

I have hooked up a Lidar Lite V3, using the PWM configuration as per the user manual (except for a 1.2k resistor as opposed to a 1k between the the trigger pin and yellow wire), but get no result (i.e. expecting to see variable freq. output for different distances).
I'm wondering if the unit requires setting up the PWM via I2C first ? (which would defeat the purpose of wanting one with a pwm output so that I2C could be avoided, as I'm using a PLC and not an arduino).
Can anyone advise?
It would be much appreciated.
Thanks
