1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Electromatic Model TI-007 is a precision Ultrasonic Micrometer. Based on the
same operating principles as sonar, the TI-007 is capable of measuring the thickness
of various materials with accuracy as high as ± 0.0001 inches, or ± 0.001 millimeters.
The principle advantage of ultrasonic measurement over traditional methods is that
ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of the material
being measured.

This manual is presented in three sections. The first section covers operation of the
TI-007, and explains the keypad controls and display. The second section provides
guidelines in selecting a transducer for a specific application. The last section provides
application notes and a table of sound velocity values for various materials.

Electromatic maintains a customer support resource in order to assist users with questions

2.0 OPERATION

The TI-007 interacts with the operator through the membrane
keypad and the LCD display. The functions of the various keys
on the keypad are detailed below, followed by an explanation of
the display and its various symbols.

The Keypad

This key is used to turn the TI-007 on and off. When theTI-007 is turned
ON, it will first perform a brief display test by illuminating all of the segments

in the display. After one second, the tool will display the internal software
version number. After displaying the version number, the display will show “0.0000”
(or “0.000” if using metric units), indicating the tool is ready for use.

The TI-007 is turned OFF by pressing the ON/OFF key. The tool has a special memory
that retains all of its settings even when the power is off. The tool also features an auto­powerdown mode designed to conserve battery life. If the tool is idle for 5 minutes, it will
turn itself off.

The CAL key is used to enter and exit the TI-007’s calibration mode. This

mode is used to adjust the sound-velocity value that the TI-007 will use when

calculating thickness. The tool will either calculate the sound-velocity from a
sample of the material being measured, or allow a known velocity value to be entered
directly. Refer to page 7 for an explanation of the two CAL functions available.

The IN/MM key is used to switch back and forth between English and metric
units. This key may be used at any time, whether the tool is displaying a
thickness (IN or MM) or a velocity value (IN/µs or M/s).

The UP arrow key has two functions. When the TI-007 is in calibration mode,
this key is used to increase numeric values on the display. An auto-repeat

function is built in, so that when the key is held down, numeric values will
increment at an increasing rate. When the TI-007 is in measurement mode, this key is
used to select between three different modes of measurement ( echo-echo, interface-echo,
or auto ). Refer to page 6 for an explanation of the calibration procedure and to review the
various measurement modes.

The SCAN key switches the SCAN measurement mode on and off. Refer to
page 8 for an explanation of the SCAN measurement mode.

The DOWN arrow key has two functions. When the TI-007 is in the CAL
mode, this key is used to decrease numeric values on the display. An auto-repeat

function is built in, so that when the key is held down, numeric values will
decrement at an increasing rate. When the TI-007 is not in calibration mode, the DOWN
arrow key switches the display backlight between three available settings. OFF will be dis­played when the backlight is switched off. AUTO will be displayed when the backlight is
set to automatic mode, and ON will be displayed when the backlight is set to stay on. In
the AUTO setting, the backlight will illuminate while the TI-007 is making a measurement
and turn off after several seconds to conserve battery life.
