Orange LED
The OM16 window and RMP2 LED's should be wiped clean periodically to remove coolant residues.
Operation outside the temperatures specified for operational use (5°C to 50°C / 41°F to 158°F )
may result in some reduction in transmission range.
The maximum recommended distance between the OM16 and RMP3 is 3 metres.
OM16 FUNCTION
An M code from the CNC machine control
causes the OM16 to send an optical switch on
or switch off signal to the probe/RMP3.
The appropriate activation mode is selected
and programmed from the MI16 Interface.
The ring of LED's around the probe body receive
OM16 optical signals in any probe orientation,
provided optical transmitter and receiver LED's
are mutually in each other view.
OM16 MOUNTING
The module may be mounted directly to the
machine guarding, using the M32 locking nuts
provided on the OM16 body.

OPERATING ENVELOPE
Alternatively a mounting bracket is supplied with
the OM16 module. The bracket securing screws
can be loosened to allow the OM16 LED's to be
directed towards the probe LED's.
Screws are then re-tightened.
The mounting bracket accepts an M10 size bolt
for attachment to guarding or bulkheads.
OM16 WINDOW
The chosen position for the OM16 should be
selected to avoid direct impact of machining
swarf on the OM16 window. Although the
window is 4mm thick toughened glass, long
term erosion will eventually reduce optical
signal strength.
OM16 LED
An orange LED is lit when a signal is sent.
To assist monitoring system status, the orange
LED must be visible to the operator during use.
