combinations.
Handle and dispose of batteries in according to
the manufacturers recommendations. Use only
the recommended batteries. Do not allow the
battery terminals to contact other metallic
objects.
In all applications involving the use of machine
tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.
Refer to the machine supplier’s operating
instructions.
Information for the machine supplier
It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to
ensure that the user is made aware of any
hazards involved in operation, including those
mentioned in Renishaw product documentation,
and to ensure that adequate guards and safety

Off No Error.
4. SIGNAL
Green Excellent communications.
Yellow Good communications.
Red Poor communications,
radio link may fail.
Off No signal detected.
Green/off Flashing: RMI is in
acquisition mode, and can
acquire a partner RMP.
Red/yellow Flashing: RMI has (just)
acquired a new partner RMP.
Notes.
1. The probe status LED will always be
illuminated when power is present.
There is no ‘power present’ LED/light.
2. All the indicators report the status of the
partner RMP60. If there is no partner in
range, or the partner is off then the probe
status and error LEDs will be red and the
other LEDs will be off.
3. When the RMI is powered it will enter the
acquire partner mode which will be indicated
by the flashing green signal LED (no change
in outputs). After a short time (~12 secs) it
will switch to its normal mode listening for
its partner.
4. The conditions shown by the low battery,
probe status and error LEDs are the same
as those present on the electrical signal
outputs.

There are five outputs:
Probe status 1 (SSR)
Probe status 2a (5 V isolated driven skip)
Probe status 2b (driven at power supply
voltage)
Error (SSR)
Low battery (SSR)
All outputs can be inverted by using switches
SW1 and SW2 - see section Switches SW1,
SW2 and start input.
Probe status 1, Error, Low battery (SSR):
‘On’ resistance = 50 ohms max.
Load voltage = 40 V max.
Load current = 100 mA max.
continued on next page
Probe status 2a (5 V isolated driven skip):
Load current = 50 mA max.
Output voltages
Sourcing = 4.2 V min at 10 mA.
= 2.2 V min at 50 mA.
Sinking = 0.4 V max at 10 mA.
= 1.3 V max at 50 mA.
10
Probe status 2b (driven at power supply voltage):
Load current = 50 mA max.
Output voltages
Sourcing (Voltage supply - Output voltage)
= 2.6 V max at 10 mA.
= 3.5 V max at 50 mA.
Sinking = 2.0 V max at 10 mA.
= 2.9 V max at 50 mA.
The Low Battery, Probe Status, and Error LEDs will
start flashing red when an output overload has occurred.
All outputs will be switched off. If this occurs, turn off the
power supply and remove the source of the problem.
Turning on the power supply will reset the RMI.

CAUTION:
Power supply voltage
Do not exceed 30 V between the black wire and the screen wire (green/yellow), or the
red wire and screen wire (green/yellow), or the red and black wires (power supply), as
this could result in permanent damage to the RMI and/or the customer power supply.
The use of in-line fuses at the machine cabinet end is recommended to provide
protection for the RMI and cable.
Screen connection
A good connection should be made to machine ground (star point).
Output stage circuit
Output stage supplies (+ve, –ve) should not be switched on and off to enable/disable
them as this can cause the over current protection to switch off the output completely.
Ensure that outputs from the RMI do not exceed specified current ratings.

RMP60-RMI partnership
continued on next page
System setup is achieved using trigger logic
and powering on the RMI.
Trigger logic is a method that allows user
configuration of the options available in the
RMP60. Trigger logic uses a sequence of
RMP60 triggering and battery insertion
followed by further RMP60 triggering.
This leads the user through a series of choices
allowing selection of the required options.
Reviewing of choices can be made by battery
insertion alone. See RMP60 user’s guide for
full details of reviewing probe settings.
To partner an RMP60 and RMI
Partnering is only required during initial system
set-up. Further partnering is only required if
either the RMP60 or RMI is changed.
Partnering cannot be lost by reconfiguration
of probe settings or when changing batteries.
Partnering can take place anywhere within
the operating envelope.
RMP60-RMI partnership
1. Use trigger logic to access RMP60
configuration mode.
2. Configure turn on method (if not configured).
3. Configure turn off method (if not configured).
4. Enter acquisition mode by deflecting stylus.
5. Remain in acquisition mode off by not
releasing stylus. This allows time to get the
RMI ready for partnering.
6. Power on RMI.
7. Watch the RMI signal LED; after a couple
of seconds the LED will repeatedly flash
on and off green. This is the start of a
10 second interval in which the RMI
is in acquisition mode.
8. Release RMP60 stylus and trigger a
couple of times. This causes the RMP60
to go into (and out of) acquisition mode.
18 RMP60-RMI partnership
9. The RMI signal LED will change to
repeatedly flashing red and yellow
(for the remainder of the 10 second
interval) indicating a successful
partnering.
10. Leave RMP60 for 20 seconds to go into
standby.
11. System is ready to use.
Note
To check that turn on and off settings have not
accidentally been changed insert batteries to
review current probe settings.
Note
When holding the RMP60 do NOT wrap a hand,
or anything else, around the glass window.
Note
When the RMP60 and RMI become partners
the RMI records the RMP60 serial number.
It is not possible for an RMI to be partnered
with more than one standard RMP60.
It is possible for an RMP60 to be partnered
with more than one RMI, but the system will
not function correctly.

Cable termination
A ferrule should be crimped onto each cable
core for more positive connection at the terminal
box.
NOTE:
Maximum cable length:
30 m (98 ft) at 12 V
50 m (164 ft) at 24 V
Standard cable
The RMI standard cable is 15 m (49.2 ft) long,
longer cables are available - see Parts list.
Cable specification:
Ø7,5 mm (0.29 in), 13 core screened cable,
each core 18 x 0,1 mm.

CAUTION:
Failure to adequately protect the cable
can result in system failure due to
either cable damage or coolant ingress
through cores into the RMI.
Failure due to inadequate cable
protection will invalidate the warranty.
When tightening or loosening nut B
onto conduit ensure that torque is only
applied between A and B.
Coolant and dirt are prevented from entering
the RMI by the cable sealing gland. The cable
can be protected against physical damage by
fitting flexible conduit if required.
Recommended flexible conduit is AnametTM
Sealtite HFX (5/16 in) polyurethane.
A conduit kit is available - see Parts list.

1. Slide nut B and plastic olive onto conduit.
2. Screw conduit termination piece into end of
conduit.
3. Fit conduit to adaptor A and tighten nut B.

Replacing the RMI cover
1. Before replacing the cover, check for any
damage to screws or scratch marks
which could prevent sealing.
2. Ensure that the 'O' ring seating on the RMI
body is clean, and there are no scratch
marks which could prevent complete
sealing.
3 Ensure that the cover, antenna contacts
and 'O' ring are clean.
4. Place cover complete with 'O' ring
onto the RMI body.
Note :
The 'O' ring should be lubricated with
silicone grease to prevent nicking.
Do not get any grease on the antenna
contacts.
5. Tighten each captive screw a few turns at
a time, to pull the cover down evenly.
Screw torque is 1,4 Nm (1.03 lbf.ft).
It is not necessary to remove the RMI from
the machine when adjusting the switches or
installing new parts. For torque settings see
Screw torque values.
Removing the RMI cover
1. Clean RMI to ensure no debris enters unit.
2. Unscrew the three cover screws evenly
(T10 torx key). Do not remove screws
from cover.
3. When removing cover, do not twist or
rotate by hand.
