System installation
Positioning the RMP60 and RMI-Q or RMI-QE
The probe system should be positioned so that the optimum range can be achieved over the full travel
of the machine’s axes. Always face the front cover of the RMI-Q or RMI-QE in the general direction of
the machining area and the tool magazine, ensuring both are within the performance envelope shown
below. To assist in finding the optimum position of the RMI-Q or RMI-QE, the signal quality is displayed
on an RMI-Q or RMI-QE signal LED.
NOTES:
Installing the RMP60 and RMI-Q
The RMP60 has a built-in “hibernation mode” (battery-saving mode) that saves battery life when the
RMI-Q is unpowered in “radio-on” ( “radio-off” or “timer-off” ) configurations. The RMP60 goes into
“hibernation mode” 30 seconds after the RMI-Q is unpowered (or the RMP60 is out of range). When
in “hibernation mode” , the RMP60 checks for a powered RMI-Q every 30 seconds. If found, the
RMP60 goes from “hibernation mode” to “standby mode” , ready for “radio-on” .
“Hibernation mode” does not exist when an RMP60 (model RMP60QE) is used with an RMI-QE.
Performance envelope
The RMP60 and RMI-Q or RMI-QE must be within each other’s performance envelope, as shown
below. The performance envelope shows line-of-sight performance, however, this is not necessary
for the RMP60 radio transmission as it will operate with any reflected radio path provided that the
reflected path length does not exceed the 15 m (49.2 ft) operating range.
