RLP40 basics
Multiple probe mode
The RLP40 can be configured, using Trigger
Logic™, to allow multiple radio probes to be used
with a single RMI.

The 'radio on' switch on method cannot be used
in multiple probe mode. Multiple probe mode will

RLP40 probes which are set to 'multiple probe
mode on' can coexist alongside any number of
RLP40 probes set to 'mode off'.
To allow multiple radio probes to work in close
proximity, and with a single RMI, 16 choices of
'mode on' colours are available, each representing
a different machine tool installation. The colour
choices available are as shown on page 4.2.
proximity, and with a single RMI, 16 choices of
'mode on' colours are available, each representing
a different machine tool installation. The colour
choices available are as shown on page 4.2.
All probes operating with a single RMI must be set
to the same 'mode on' colour choice; any multiple
probes located on adjacent machines must all be
set to an alternative 'mode on' colour choice.
Only one probe per 'mode on' colour choice needs
to be partnered with the RMI as, by configuring
multiple probes to a single 'mode on' colour
choice, all probes using this 'mode on' colour
choice will have the same identity. The probe to be
partnered is partnered after selecting the 'multiple
probe mode' setting and choosing the 'mode
on' option. See 'Changing the probe settings' in
Section 4, "Trigger Logic™".

All RLP40 probes are factory set to 'mode off'.
The addition of any further probe(s) into a single
probe installation will require that all probes are
reconfigured to the same 'mode on' colour choice
and that one of the probes is then repartnered
with the RMI.
