RMP60 installation guide
RMP60 / RMI-Q positioning
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 in the general direction of the
machining area and the tool magazine, ensuring
both are within the performance envelope shown
3.2
below. To assist in finding the optimum position of
the RMI-Q, the signal quality is displayed on an
RMI-Q signal LED.

Performance envelope

The RMP60 and RMI-Q must be within each
other's performance envelope as shown below.
The performance envelope shows line-of-sight
performance, however radio transmission does
not require this as any reflected radio paths will
be less than the 15 m (49.2 ft) operating range.
