Installing the RMP40 with an RMI or RMI-Q

Workpiece
Radio transmission does not require line-of-
sight and will pass through very small gaps
and machine tool windows. This allows easy
installation, either inside or outside the machine
enclosure.
Coolant and swarf residue accumulating on
the RMP40 and RMI or RMI-Q may have a
detrimental effect on transmission performance.
Wipe clean as often as is necessary to maintain
unrestricted transmission.
When operating, do not cover the probe glass
window, RMI or RMI-Q with your hands, as this
will affect the performance.
