RTS basics
Hibernation mode
Only applicable to ‘radio-on mode’ when RTS is used with a RMI-Q.
When the RTS is in standby and the RMI-Q is powered off or out of range, the probe enters
hibernation; a low power mode designed to save battery life. The probe “wakes” from hibernation to
periodically check for its partnered RMI-Q.
The ‘wake-up’ frequency can be set to 30seconds, 5 seconds or set to off (the probe never goes into
hibernation).
The ‘wake-up’ frequency is factory set to 30 seconds.
If its partnered RMI-Q is found, the RTS goes from “hibernation mode” to “standby mode”, ready for
“radio-on”.
NOTE: “Hibernation mode” does not exist when RTS (model RTSQE) is used with a RMI-QE.
Partnering mode
System set-up is achieved using Opti-Logic or Trigger Logic and powering on the RMI-Q or RMI-QE.
Alternatively “ReniKey” may be used (see notes below).
Partnering is required during initial system set-up. Further partnering is only required if the RTS, RMI-Q
or RMI-QE is changed.
Partnering to a RMI-Q or RMI-QE will configure the RTS to operate in either RMI-Q or RMI-QE mode
and display specific probe settings accordingly.
The RTS “operating mode” can be determined by observing the LED check that is displayed when
the batteries are inserted into the probe (for further information, see page 4.2, “Reviewing the
probe settings”). Display of “Hibernation mode” indicates that the RTS is in RMI-Q mode.
NOTES:
Prior to partnering for the rst time, the RTS is pre-set to operate in RMI-QE mode. The LED check will
display double ashes of red, green, blue.
Systems using the RMI-Q or RMI-QE can be partnered with up to four RTS tool setters manually.
Alternatively this can be achieved by using ReniKey; a Renishaw machine macro cycle which does not
require the RMI-Q or RMI-QE to be power cycled.

Partnering will not be lost by reconfiguration of probe settings or when changing batteries.
Partnering can take place anywhere within the operating envelope.
