Operating envelope
Natural reflective surfaces within the machine may
increase the signal transmission range.
Coolant residue accumulating on the OMP, OMM
and OMI windows, will have a detrimental effect
on transmission performance. Wipe clean as
often as is necessary to maintain unrestricted
transmission.
Operation in temperatures of 0 °C to 5 °C or 50 °C
to 60 °C (32 °F to 41 °F or 122 °F to 140 °F) will
result in some reduction in range.
Warning
If two systems are operating in close proximity,
take care to ensure that signals transmitted from
the OMP on one machine, are not received by
the OMM or OMI on the other machine, and vice
versa.
When this is the case, use of the probe’s low
power mode, or OMM and OMI low range setting
is recommended (see page 30).
OMM and OMI position
To assist in finding the optimum position of the
OMM during system installation, signal strength
outputs are available on the MI 12 interface.
OMI signal strength is displayed on an OMI
multi-coloured LED.
Collision protection devices
Only ceramic styli are recommended
for use with OMP40. OMP40 is not
compatible with any stylus ‘weak link’
protection devices, except when fitted
after a stylus extension.
