## Description

The TP1-IR wireless touch probe is used for precise workpiece setup and tool measurement on CNC machine tools or as a precision limit switch in automation. Signal transmission between the probe and receiver is via infrared light.

On the PH version the receiver cable is protected by a flexible conduit. The set adds the CS16 clamping shank and an M4 D3×20 ruby stylus to the probe, delivered as a pre-centered assembly ready to install in the machine spindle without further adjustment.

## Wiring

### Wire marking

| Signal | Conductor colour |
| --- | --- |
| GND | white |
| VCC | brown |
| TOUCH | yellow |
| READY | green |

### Output signal

Set on the switch on the receiver’s board, where the legend is printed too.

| Configuration | How it is set |
| --- | --- |
| NO / PNP — Factory | 1 Down, 2 Down, 3 Up |
| NO / NPN | 1 Down, 2 Up, 3 Down |
| NO / Push-Pull | 1 Down, 2 Up, 3 Up |
| NC / PNP | 1 Up, 2 Down, 3 Up |
| NC / NPN | 1 Up, 2 Up, 3 Down |
| NC / Push-Pull | 1 Up, 2 Up, 3 Up |

### Output signal timing

Timeline of the Touch and Ready outputs against the deflection of the stylus.

| Signal | High between (ms) |
| --- | --- |
| touch | 5 → 9, 13 → 18 |
| ready | ≥ 5 |
| stylus | 2 → 7, 11 → 16 |

## Operating Settings

The probe has two modes: standby and operating. Deflecting the stylus wakes it into operating mode and activates READY; after a set idle time it returns to standby.

### P1 — Duty cycle of the IR LED

Radiated power, set to the distance from the receiver. A higher duty cycle shortens battery life; the quoted range and battery figures are for the factory value.

| Value | Parameter |
| --- | --- |
| 10 % | P1 = 1 |
| 20 % (Factory) | P1 = 2 |
| 30 % | P1 = 3 |
| 40 % | P1 = 4 |
| 50 % | P1 = 5 |

### P2 — Transition to standby

Idle time from the last deflection before the probe sleeps. In standby it does not transmit and READY is inactive.

| Value | Parameter |
| --- | --- |
| 1 min (Factory) | P2 = 1 |
| 2 min | P2 = 2 |
| 10 min | P2 = 3 |
| 20 min | P2 = 4 |

### Programming procedure

1. Remove the battery. Tilt the stylus and hold it.
2. Still holding it, insert the battery and screw on the cap. Green LED on.
3. After 2 s, green goes out and red comes on.
4. Release the stylus. Green for 1 s, then off — ready for P1.
   > If green flashes instead, programming mode was not entered — start again.
5. Touch the pad once per unit of P1, each touch under 0.5 s. Red follows the pad.
6. Hold for over 1 s to confirm. With no short touch first, P1 is unchanged.
7. Green flashes back the value of P1.
8. Green for 1 s, then off — ready for P2. Same procedure.
9. Green flashes back the value of P2.
