Operating envelope
Radio transmission does not require line-of-sight between the probe and transmitter, and will pass
through very small gaps and machine tool windows. This allows easy installation, either inside
or outside the machine enclosure, as long as the probe and RMI or RMI-Q are kept within the
performance envelope shown overleaf.
Coolant and swarf residue accumulating on the RMP600 and RMI or RMI-Q may have a detrimental
effect on transmission performance. Wipe clean as often as is necessary to maintain unrestricted
transmission.
When operating, do not cover the probe glass window, RMI or RMI-Q with your hands, as this will
affect the performance.
