NOTES:
In "radio on mode", the switch-on time is user selectable "fast" or "standard" when using RMI-Q or
RMI-QE (selection is made in the relevant interface).
For more information on the user selectable switch-on time when operating with RMI-Q or RMI-QE,
refer to the RMI-Q radio machine interface installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504) or the
RMI-QE radio machine interface installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-6551-8520).
In "radio on mode", the switch-on time assumes a good radio communication link. In a poor radio
frequency (RF) environment the switch-on time may increase.
In "spin on mode", the 1 second starts from the moment the spindle reaches 500 r/min.
The RMP60 must be on for a minimum of 1 second before being switched off.
Timeout off is not applicable in level start mode, refer to the RMI-Q radio machine interface installation
guide (Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504) or the RMI-QE radio machine interface installation guide
(Renishaw part no. H-6551-8520).
