The Low Battery, Probe Status, and Error LEDs will start flashing red when an output overload has occurred. All outputs will be switched off. If this occurs, turn off the power supply and remove the source of the problem. Turning on the power supply will reset the OMI-2.

OMI-2 cable sealing and fitting flexible conduit OMI-2 cable sealing Fitting flexible conduit Coolant and dirt are prevented from entering the OMI-2 by the cable sealing gland. OMI-2 cable can be protected against physical damage by fitting flexible conduit if required. Recommended flexible conduit is Anamet Sealtite HFX (5/16 in) polyurethane.
Removing the OMI-2 window Removing the OMI-2 window It is not necessary to remove the OMI-2 from the machine when adjusting the switches or installing new parts. The window may be removed to either change reception/start range settings and output options - see relevant section, or to replace a broken window.
Removing and re-fitting the OMI-2 label Removing the OMI-2 label Window Press the top of the label to enable removal. 3. The window fits tightly in the OMI-2 body, and is removed using the two long screws, Ensure cleanliness is observed during this procedure.
Changing the reception range Changing the reception range (factory set to 100% range) Avoid touching filter To reduce the reception Avoid touching filter range to 50%, move the filter to position indicated.
1. Before fitting window, check for any damage Screw torque is 0.4 Nm (0.29 lbf.ft). to screws or scratch marks which could prevent sealing. 2. Ensure that the 'O' ring seating in the OMI-2 body is clean. 5. Place window complete with 'O' ring onto OMI-2 body.
