Optical power
Where the separation between the OMP40-2 and the receiver is small, low optical power may be
used. In this setting, the optical transmission range will be reduced, as shown on the performance
envelopes, so that battery life will be extended.
Ultra low power is recommended for any machine using the OMM-2C receiver or for use in small
machining centers where the maximum separation distance between probe to receiver is less than 1.5
m (4.9 ft), for further increased battery life.
Low or ultra low optical power should be used whenever possible for increased battery life.
Dotted lines on the performance envelopes represent the OMP40-2 in low and ultra low optical power
modes.
Maximum battery life is achieved when lithium-thionyl chloride (LTC) batteries are used in conjunction
with ultra low power mode.
The probe is factory set to standard optical power.
