RMP400 basics
NOTES:
In
“radio on”
mode, the switch-on time is user selectable “fast” or “standard” when using RMI-Q
(selection is made in RMI-Q). Otherwise the switch-on time is 1.7 seconds.
For more information on the user selectable switch-on time when operating with RMI-Q, refer to the
RMI-Q radio machine interface
installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504).
In
“radio on”
mode, the switch-on time assumes a good radio communication link. In a poor radio
frequency (RF) environment this may rise to a maximum of 3 seconds.
In
“spin on”
mode, the 1 second starts from the moment the spindle reaches 500 r/min.
The RMP400 must be on for a minimum of 1 second before being switched off.
