6Operating envelopeRadio transmission does not require line-of sightand will pass through very small gaps andmachine tool windows. This allows easyinstallation, either inside or outside the machineenclosure.Coolant and swarf residue accumulating on theRMP60/M and RMI may have a detrimentaleffect on transmission performance. Wipe cleanas often as is necessary to maintain unrestrictedtransmission.When operating, do not touch either the RMIcover or the probe glass window with your hand,as this will affect the performance.Operation in extremes of temperature will resultin some reduction in range.RMI positionThe probe system should be positioned so thatthe optimum range can be achieved over the fulltravel of the machine axes. Always face the frontSystem performanceRMP60 and RMP60M have identical user options and radio performanceSystem performanceNote: RMP60/M in radio-on configurationThe RMP60/M has a built-in hibernate mode(battery saving mode) that saves battery lifewhen the RMI is unpowered in radio-on(radio-off or time-off) configurations.The RMP60/M goes into hibernate 30 secondsafter the RMI is unpowered (or the RMP60 isout of range).When in hibernate, the RMP60/M checks for apowered RMI every 30 seconds.

12 Probe settingsThe RMP60 probe can be in one of three modes:Stand-by mode - The RMP60 is waiting for aswitch on signal.Operating mode - Activated by one of theswitch on methods described on this page.In this mode the RMP60 is now ready for use.Configuration mode - The trigger logicconfiguration method allows the followingsettings to be configured.Switch-on / switch-off methodsThe following switch on / switch off optionscan be configured:1. Radio on / Radio off2. Radio on / Timer off3. Spin on / Spin off4. Spin on / Timer off5. Shank switch on / Shank switch offProbe settingsNote:The RMP60 will be switched on after 1 secondin all modes.After being switched on, the RMP60 must beon for 1 second minimum (7 seconds for spinstart) before being switched off.

14RMP60 can be user configured using triggerlogic to allow multiple RMP60s to be usedwith a single RMI.Multiple probe modeMultiple probe modeNote:Radio turn on cannot be used in multiple probemode.To allow multiple probes/single RMI in closeproximity, 16 choices of ‘mode-on’ colours areavailable – each representing a differentmachine tool installation. The choices areshown on the next page and in ‘Changingprobe settings’.All probes on a single RMI machine should beset to the same ‘mode-on’ colour choice; anymultiple probes on adjacent machines shouldall be set to an alternative ‘mode-on’ colourchoice. Multiple probe mode will not appear inthe configuration of the probe if radio turn onhas been selected.Note:Any number of RMP60s set to ‘mode-off’ canbe used alongside RMP60s set to ‘Multipleprobe mode’.Only one of the multiple probes per machinewill need partnering as, by configuring multipleprobes to a single ‘mode-on’ choice, all probeshave the same identification. The probe to bepartnered, is partnered after selection ofmultiple probe on in ‘Changing probe settings’.There is no limit to the number of probes thatcan be used with a single RMI as long as theyall have the same ‘mode-on’ colour choice.All RMP60s are factory-set to ‘mode off’.The addition of further probe(s) into a singleprobe installation requires all probes to bere-configured to the same multiple probe‘mode-on’ choice and the repartnering ofone of the probes to the installed RMI.The addition of further probes (or replacements)into a multi probe installation is achieved simplyby reconfiguration to the same ‘mode-on’colour choice.

22System setup is achieved using trigger logic andpowering on the RMI.Trigger logic is a method that allows userconfiguration of the options available in theRMP60. Trigger logic uses a sequence ofRMP60 triggering and battery insertion followedby 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 batteryinsertion alone. See Reviewing probe settings.To partner an RMP60 and RMIPartnering is only required during initial systemset-up. Further partnering is only required ifeither the RMP60 or RMI is changed.Partnering will not be lost by reconfigurationof probe settings or when changing batteries.Partnering can take place anywhere within theoperating envelope.RMP60-RMI partnershipRMP60-RMI partnership1. Use trigger logic to access the RMP60configuration mode.2. Configure the turn on method (if notconfigured).3. Configure the turn off method (if notconfigured).4. Enter the acquisition mode by deflectingthe stylus.5. Remain in ‘Acquisition Mode Off’ by notreleasing the stylus. This allows time to getthe RMI ready for partnering.6. Power on the RMI.7. Watch the RMI signal LED; after a coupleof seconds the LED will repeatedly flash onand off green. This is the start of a 10second interval in which the RMI is inacquisition mode.continued on next page

23RMP60-RMI partnershipNoteTo check that turn on and off settings have notaccidentally been changed, remove and insertbatteries to review the current probe settings.NoteWhen holding the RMP60, do NOT wrap ahand, or anything else, around the glasswindow.NoteWhen the RMP60 and RMI become partnersthe RMI records the RMP60 identity. It is notpossible for an RMI to be partnered with morethan one RMP60 in ‘Standard Mode’ - seeMultiple Probe Mode.It is possible for an RMP60 to be partneredwith more than one RMI, but the system willnot function correctly.8. Release the RMP60 stylus and trigger it acouple of times. This causes the RMP60 togo into (and out of) acquisition mode.9. The RMI signal LED will change torepeatedly flashing red and yellow (for theremainder of the 10 second interval),indicating a successful partnering.10. Leave the RMP60 for 20 seconds to gointo standby.11. The system is ready to use.

24RMP60 batteriesReplacing batteriesOnly use specified batteries.Clean and dry the RMP60 with a cloth or papertowel before removing the battery cover. Wherethe RMP60 has been exposed to coolant, it isrecommended that the area around the batterycover is cleaned.To access the RMP60 batteries, remove thebattery cover by rotating the securing screw 30°anticlockwise and withdraw the battery cassette.Take care to avoid damaging the cover gasket.When inserting the batteries, ensure they areloaded as shown (see next page).If one or more batteries are incorrectly loadedthe probe will not respond.RMP60 batteriesDo not mix new and used batteries or batterytypes, as this will result in reduced life anddamage to the batteries.Always ensure that the cover gasket and matingsurfaces are clean and free from damage beforereassembly.

Expect a battery life ofapproximately 50% of alkaline figures.For applications requiring maximum batterylife, a high capacity lithium thionyl chloridetype is essential.

28 RMP60 shank mountingBABobbinRMP60 shank mountingStage 1 RMP60 shank mountingIf the RMP60 is not to be used with a shankswitch, proceed from step 3.1. Remove the plug from the rear of theRMP60 using pliers.2. Place the bobbin into the shank.3. Fully slacken the four screws A.4. Grease the two screws B, and fit into theshank.5. Fit the RMP60 onto the shank, and visuallyposition it central relative to the shank.6. Partially tighten screws B to 2 - 3 Nm(1.5 - 2.2 lbf.ft).(If the RMP60 is NOT to be on-centre adjusted,fully tighten screws B to 6-8 Nm (4.4 - 5.9 lbf ft).The RMP60 assembly is ready for use.For on-centre adjustment, complete steps 7-10(see next page).Note :1. During adjustment, care should be takenNOT to rotate the probe relative to the shank,as damage to the shank switch bobbin mayoccur (if fitted).2. If a probe on a shank is accidentallydropped, it should be checked for on-centreposition.3. Do NOT hit or tap the probe to achieveon-centre adjustment.Shank switch(optional)Probe to shank alignment dot(used when bobbin is fitted)Rear plug

Each of the four screws A will move theprobe relative to the shank, in the X or Ydirection, as pressure is applied.Tighten individually, backing off after eachmovement.8. When the stylus tip run-out is less than20 µm, fully tighten screws B to 6 - 8 Nm(4.4 - 5.9 lbf.ft).9. For final centering, use screws A to movethe RMP60, progressively slackening on oneside and tightening the opposite screw, asthe final setting is approached, using twohexagon keys.Tip run out of 5 µm (0.0002 in) should beachievable.10. It is important that all four screws A are tightor tightened to 1.5 - 3.5 Nm (1.1 - 2.6 lbf.ft)once the final setting has been achieved.2.5 mm AF4 mm AFABSHANKPROBE

30Stylus trigger force and adjustmentStylus trigger force and adjustmentSpring force within the probe causes the stylus to sit in a uniqueposition, and return to this position following each stylus deflection.Stylus trigger force is set by Renishaw. The user should onlyadjust the trigger force in special circumstances, e.g. excessivemachine vibration or insufficient force to support the stylus weight.To adjust the trigger force, turn the adjusting screw anticlockwiseto reduce force (more sensitive) or clockwise to increaseforce (less sensitive). A stop prevents damage, whichcould be caused by over-tightening the adjusting screw.2 mm AFReduceforceIncreaseforceStylus trigger forceZ direction5.30 N / 530 gf (18.69 ozf)X/Y direction (50 mm stylus)X/Y trigger forces vary, depending on trigger direction.There are 3 high force and 3 low force X/Y directions:Factory setting for low force direction = 0.75 N / 75 gf (2.6 ozf)Factory setting for high force direction = 1.4 N / 140 gf (4.9 ozf)Maximum setting for low force direction = 2 N / 200 gf (7.0 ozf)Maximum setting for high force direction = 3.5 N / 350 gf (12.3 ozf)Minimum setting for low force direction = 0.5N / 50 gf (1.7 ozf)Minimum setting for high force direction = 0.9 N / 90 gf (3.2 ozf)
