Performance envelope when using the
RLP40 with the RMI
RLP40 / RMI positioning
The probe system should be positioned so that
the optimum range can be achieved over the full
travel of the machine's axes. Always face the front
cover of the RMI in the general direction of the
machining area and the tool magazine, ensuring
both are within the performance envelope shown
below. To assist in finding the optimum position of
the RMI, the signal quality is displayed on an RMI
signal LED.

RLP40
RMI
NOTE: RLP40 / RMI installation with RLP40 in
radio-on configuration.
RLP40 has a built-in hibernate mode (battery
saving mode) that saves battery life when the RMI
is unpowered in radio-on (radio-off or time-off)
configurations. The RLP40 goes into hibernate
mode 30 seconds after the RMI is unpowered (or
the RLP40 is out of range). When in hibernate
mode, the RLP40 checks for a powered RMI
every 30 seconds. If found, the RLP40 goes from
hibernate mode to stand-by mode, ready for
radio-on.
Performance envelope
The RLP40 and RMI must be within each
other's performance envelope as shown below.
The performance envelope shows line-of-sight
performance, however radio transmission does
not require this providing a reflected path (of less
than 15 m (49.2 ft)) is available.
