RMI-QE basics
NOTES:
The “PROBE STATUS” LED is always illuminated when power is present at the RMI-QE (as the
RMI-QE does not incorporate a separate “power present” indicator).
All LEDs report the status of the partner radio probe. If there is no partner in range, or the partner
is off, then the “PROBE STATUS” and “ERROR” LEDs will illuminate red. The “LOW BATTERY” and
“SIGNAL” LEDs will be off.
When the RMI-QE is powered on, each of the eight LEDs will flash orange in sequence starting from
the top left and finishing at the bottom left. After this it will enter the acquire partner mode. This is
indicated by a flashing green “SIGNAL” LED (no change in outputs). After ~60 seconds it will switch to
its normal mode listening for its partner.
The conditions shown by the “LOW BATTERY”, “PROBE STATUS” and “ERROR” LEDs are the same
as those present on the electrical signal outputs.
