Always ensure that the cover gasket and mating
surfaces are clean and free from damage before
reassembly.
Low battery indicators
The low battery warning will be signalled by the
alternate flashing of the blue probe status LED,
indicating that the end of the usable battery life is
approaching. Simultaneously, the low battery LED
on the MI 12 or OMI will be lit.
Some machine tool controllers are also
programmed to flag a low battery warning to the
user.
Dead battery indicators
When the battery voltage drops below the
threshold where performance can be guaranteed,
the OMP40 probe status LED will change to
constant red.
The probe output relay will also be forced into its
triggered state, causing the machine to stop, until
a new battery is inserted.
Replacing batteries
Typical battery reserve life
The standard Lithium battery at typical 5 % usage
will enable the probe to operate for approximately
2 weeks after a low battery warning is first
indicated.
Replace the batteries as soon as is practicable.
CAUTION: Please dispose of exhausted
batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
