Switch-on options are configurable
Radio on
Radio switch on is commanded by
machine input.
Spin on
Spin at 500 rev/min for one second
minimum.
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
1.7 seconds.
For more information on the user selectable
switch-on time when operating with RMI-Q, please
refer to the installation guide RMI-Q radio machine
interface (Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504).
