of optical interference. 1. LED (Yellow) - START signal status.
Lit when a start signal is transmitted to the probe.
● Compatible with Renishaw machine probes that
use modulated transmission. 2. LED (Red) - Low battery life.
● Toughened glass window. Lit when probe battery voltage falls below a set level.

● Sealed to IPX8 for machine tool environment. 3. LED (red, green) - Probe status.
Lit when OMI-2 is powered.
● Internal range selection:
Green - Probe seated.
Reception (RX) 50% or 100%
Red - Probe triggered or an error has occurred.
Transmission (TX) 50% or 100%
