RTS basics
Probe modes
The RTS probe can be in one of three modes:
Standby mode – Probe is waiting for a switch-on signal.
NOTE: The RTS will enter “hibernation mode” should the system interface be powered off or out of
range for a period of 30 seconds. “Hibernation mode” is only applicable to “radio on mode” when
used with a RMI-Q.
Operational mode – When activated by one of the switch-on methods, the probe is switched on and
ready for use.
Configuration mode – Ready to change the probe settings using Opti-Logic or Trigger Logic.
Configurable settings
Trigger filter
Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or shock loads may trigger without having been touched.
The RTS trigger filter improves the probe’s resistance to these effects.
Level 1 disables the trigger filter.
Level 2 adds a nominal 6.7 ms delay to the probe output.
It may be necessary to reduce the approach speed to allow for the increased stylus overtravel during
the extended time delay.
Factory set to Level 1 (OFF). It is always necessary to calibrate the probe when the trigger filter is
changed.
NOTE: Level 2 (trigger lter on) is compatible for the on-centre length measurement of non-rotating
tools only. It is not compatible for the measurement of radius/diameter or length off-centre.
