Getting started

Three multicolour probe LEDs provide visual indication of selected probe settings and status.
For example:
•
Switch-on and switch-off methods

Probe status – triggered or seated
•
Battery condition
Batteries are inserted or removed as shown (for more information, see page 3.5, "Installing the
batteries").
On insertion of batteries, the LEDs will begin to flash, starting with an LED check (for more
information, see page 4.2, "Reviewing the probe settings"). An LED check displaying a single
flash of red, green, blue indicates that the probe is operating in RMI-Q mode. An LED check displaying
double flashes of red, green, blue indicates that the probe is operating in RMI-QE mode.

System interface

The RMI-Q or RMI-QE is an integrated interface/receiver used to communicate between the RMP60
probe and the machine controller
installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504) or the RMI-QE radio machine interface installation
guide (Renishaw part no. H-6551-8520).
It is necessary that the RMP60 is partnered to either an RMI-Q or RMI-QE. Prior to partnering for the
first time, the RMP60 is pre-set to operate in RMI-QE mode. The LED check will display double flashes
of red, green, blue.
NOTE: The RMP60 (model RMP60QE) is not compatible with the older RMI integrated interface/
receiver.
