RMP60 basics
Partnering mode
System set-up is achieved using Opti-Logic or Trigger Logic and powering-on the RMI-Q or RMI-QE.
Alternatively “ReniKey” may be used (see notes below).
Partnering is required during initial system set-up. Further partnering is only required if either the
RMP60, RMI-Q or RMI-QE are changed.
Partnering to an RMI-Q or RMI-QE will configure the RMP60 to operate in either RMI-Q or RMI-QE
mode and display specific probe settings accordingly.
The RMP60 operating mode can be determined by observing the LED check that is displayed when
the batteries are inserted into the probe (for more information, see page 4.2,
“Reviewing the probe
settings”
). Display of
“Hibernation mode”
or
“Multiple probe mode”
menus also indicates that the
RMP60 is in RMI-Q mode.
NOTES:
Prior to partnering for the first time, the RMP60 is pre-set to operate in RMI-QE mode. The LED check
will display double flashes of red, green, blue.
Systems using the RMI-Q or RMI-QE can be partnered with up to four RMP60 probes manually.
Alternatively, partnering to an RMI-Q or RMI-QE, can be achieved by using ReniKey; a Renishaw
machine macro cycle which does not require the RMI-Q or RMI-QE to be power cycled.

Partnering will not be lost by reconfiguration of probe settings or when changing batteries, except
where
“multiple probe mode” is selected.
Partnering can take place anywhere within the operating envelope.
