MMA8452Q tilt sensor

Hi, I'm new to programming Arduino so if someone could help that would be great . I'm looking at switching output (13) HIGH when tilt sensor reading is 200 or higher. When i monitor the x axes
i get reading from 250 / -250 when rotating 180 degrees . Thanks

#include <Wire.h>
#include <MMA8453_n0m1.h>

MMA8453_n0m1 accel;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  accel.setI2CAddr(0x1D); //change your device address if necessary, default is 0x1C
  accel.dataMode(true, 2); //enable highRes 10bit, 2g range [2g,4g,8g]
  Serial.println("MMA8453_n0m1 library");
  Serial.println("XYZ Data Example");
  Serial.println("n0m1.com & krazatchu.ca");
  pinMode (13,OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  accel.update();
  
  Serial.print(" x: ");
  Serial.print(accel.x());
  Serial.print(" y: ");
  Serial.print(accel.y());
  Serial.print(" z: ");
  Serial.println(accel.z());

  if (Serial.print(accel.x) <=200)
   digitalWrite (13,HIGH);

  else
  digitalWrite (13,LOW);

}

Serial.print returns the number of characters output.
In your case, I imagine this will always be less than 200
