OMI STATUS LEDs FEATURES

Visual indication of system status is provided by LEDs. ● Toughened glass window
1. LED (Yellow) - START signal status. ● Sealed to IPX8 for machine tool environment
Flashes when start signal is transmitted to probe.
● Internal range selection switches
2. LED (Red) - Low battery life.
Reception (RX) 25%, 50% or 100%
Flashes on and off when probe battery
Transmission (TX) 50% or 100%
voltage falls below a set level.
Both factory set to 100%.
3. LED (red, green) - Probe status.
Lit when OMI is powered. ● Machine start/auto start selection switch
Green - Probe seated. Machine start Machine control M code command.
Red - Probe triggered or an error has occured. Auto start Start signal at one second intervals.
Factory set to machine start.
4. LED (red) - Error.
Lit when error condition exists. ● Outputs
e.g. optical beam obstructed/probe out of optical Probe status Skip Low battery Error
range/probe switched off/battery exhausted.
5. LED (red, yellow, green). Probe status Skip Low battery Error
Signal strength received.
OMI OPTIMUM POSITION SETTING
Red - No signal, or signal too weak.
To assist finding the optimum position for the OMI
Yellow - Marginal signal, system may/maynot
