Operating envelope
Radio transmission does not require line-of sight
and will pass through very small gaps and
machine tool windows. This allows easy
installation, either inside or outside the machine
enclosure.
Coolant and swarf residue accumulating on the
RMP60/M and RMI may have a detrimental
effect on transmission performance. Wipe clean
as often as is necessary to maintain unrestricted
transmission.
When operating, do not touch either the RMI
cover or the probe glass window with your hand,
as this will affect the performance.
Operation in extremes of temperature will result
in some reduction in range.
RMI position
The probe system should be positioned so that
the optimum range can be achieved over the full
travel of the machine axes. Always face the front

RMP60 and RMP60M have identical user options and radio performance

Note: RMP60/M in radio-on configuration
The RMP60/M 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 RMP60/M goes into hibernate 30 seconds
after the RMI is unpowered (or the RMP60 is
out of range).
When in hibernate, the RMP60/M checks for a
powered RMI every 30 seconds. If found, the
RMP60/M goes from hibernate to standby,
ready for radio-on.
cover of the RMI in the general direction of the
machining area and the tool magazine, ensuring
both are within the operating envelope.
To assist in finding the optimum position of the
RMI, the signal quality is displayed on an RMI
signal LED.
