1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Checkline model TI-007X is a precision ultrasonic micrometer. Based on the same

operating principles as SONAR, the TI-007X 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.

1.1 Disclaimer

While the TI-007X is a basic digital instrument, it is equipped with a number of

measurement modes and transducer options for additional versatility. It is strongly

recommended that the contents of this manual be read in its entirety to avoid erroneous

measurements based on operator error. The user is solely responsible for proper use,

setup and interpretation of the measurements acquired.

2.0 KEYPAD, MENU, DISPLAY & CONNECTORS

The Keypad

2.1 ON/OFF/ENTER Key

The ON/OFF/ENTER key powers the unit ON or OFF. Since the same key is

also used as an ENTER key, the gauge is powered off by pressing and holding

down the key until the unit powers off.

Once the gauge is initially powered on, this key will function as the ENTER key, similar

to a computer keyboard. This key will be used to select or set a menu option.

NOTE: Unit will automatically power off when idle for 5 minutes. All current settings

are automatically saved prior to powering off.

2.2 PRB 0 Key

The PRB 0 key is used to “zero” the TI-007X in much the same way that a

mechanical micrometer is zeroed. If the gauge is not zeroed correctly, all of the

measurements that the gauge makes may be in error by some xed value. Refer

to section 5.1 for a further explanation of this important feature.

2.3 CAL Key

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

mode is used to adjust the sound velocity value that the TI-007X 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. This provides increased linearity between transducers. Refer to section 5.2 for

an explanation on the various calibration options.

2.4 GAIN Key

The TI-007X has an adjustable gain feature for additional versatility to control

the overall output of the gauge, to compensate for various materials and

applications. There are ve gain settings (VLOW, LOW, MED, HIGH, VHI)

when pulse-echo or thin PLAS mode is selected, and three gain settings (LOW,

MED, HIGH) for all other modes where automatic gain control is used. Refer to

8.1 for details regarding the gain feature..

2.5 SCAN Key

Th offers a high speed scan feature. This feature allows for scanning larger areas

on a given test material, while still offering reasonable representation of

thickness.

2.6 +/- Increment/Decrement Key’s

The +/- Keys are used to increment/decrement values,

navigate menus, and select menu options.

2.7 MODE Key

The MODE key toggles the measurement modes. If a delay line transducer (dLY)

is selected from the PROB menu option, echo-echo (E-E) and interface-echo (I-E)

modes will be toggled. If a contact transducer (Con) is selected, pulse-echo (P-E) and

echo-echo (E-E) modes will be toggled. Finally, if the plastic transducer (PLAS) option

is selected, the thickness options thin (thin) and thick (thK) will be toggled. The

measurement modes and transducer styles offer the exibility to address specic

application scenarios. Refer to section 7.0 for an explanation on the various calibration

options.

2.8 MENU Key

The MENU key is used to access and set all of the additional features of the

TI-007X that are not at the top level of the keypad with a dedicated key. The

features and setting are outlined in the table below:

B. Large 7 segment: The thickness measurement, velocity or alpha message will be

displayed in this area.

C. Measurement Modes: This group of icons indicates which measurement mode the

TI-007X is currently using. The modes are pulse-echo, echo-echo, interface-echo,

and plastics (PLAS).

D. Stability/Repeatability Indicator: This is used in conjunction with the thickness

measurement as a reference for the validity of the measurement. The TI-007X

takes multiple measurements per second, and when all the vertical bars are

illuminated, it’s a reference that the same thickness value is reliably being measured

multiple times per second.

E. Battery: Indicates the amount of battery life the TI-007X has remaining.

F. Backlight: When this icon is illuminated, it indicates the backlight is on.

G. Small 7 Segment: The material velocity, speed the sound wave travels through a

given medium/material, is displayed in this area, informing the user what material

the TI-007X is currently calibrated too. This area is also used for alpha messages

in the menu and edit modes.

H. Units: This combination of icons are illuminated in different sequences to inform

the user what measurement units are currently being displayed in the small 7

segment area.

I. Small 14 Segment: Displays the current gain setting of the TI-007X DL. In P-E

mode the options are VLOW, LOW, MED, HIGH, VHI, and LOW, MED, HIGH

with modes E-E, I-E, and PLAS. MED is the default setting

J. Units: This combination of icons are illuminated in different sequences to inform

the user what measurement units are currently being displayed in the large 7

segment area. The plus/minus icon is illuminated when the DIFF (differential)

feature is activated.

K. Small 14 Segment: The material type is displayed in this area. If it is set to a

value of one of the materials in our material list, it will be displayed in alpha

characters indicating the material type. Otherwise it will be set to CUST, indicating

custom material type.

L. Features: The icons illuminated in this row across the bottom of the LCD display

which features are currently enabled. For a complete list of the menu features in

the TI-007X , Refer to section 2.0 for a list. The TI-007X can be locked once

calibrated, to avoid accidently changing the calibration. When this icon is

illuminated, the TI-007X is in lock mode. Refer section 8.10 for an explanation on

locking the TI-007X .

2.10 The Transducer

The transducer is the “business end” of the TI-007X. It transmits and receives ultrasonic

sound waves that the TI-007X uses to calculate the thickness of the material being

measured. The transducer connects to the TI-007X via a single shielded coaxial cabale

with microdot connectors.

Delay Line Transducer

The single element delay line transducer is commonly used with the TI-007X for

materials with an approximate range of 0.006” to 1.00” in steel. The measurement

modes used with this style of transducer are echo-echo (E-E) and interface-echo (IE).

Echo-echo mode will be used for the lower end of the measurement range, while

interface-echo for the upper end of the measurement range. Interface-echo mode

measures from the end of the delay line to the rst return echo from the back wall of

the material, while echo-echo measurements are made between the rst and second

return echoes from the back wall of the material. The frequency range for the versions

Electromatic commonly supply are from 10MHz to 20MHz.

The Delay line is fastened to the transducer with a retaining ring. A drop of couplant is

applied between the delay line and transducer body. Refer to the diagram above. The

couplant should be checked on a regular basis to keep it from drying out. To replenish,

unscrew the retaining ring counterclockwise, separate the delay line from the body,

‘clean both surfaces’, apply a drop of couplant, and reassemble.

Delay Line Graphite Tip (for use with Plastics Mode)

The TI-007X has a special “PLAS” mode that uses the standard delay line transducer, as

described above, but with a replaceable graphite delay tip. This mode and tip should be

used when the velocity of the plastic material measured is similar to the velocity of the

standard acrylic delay tip, and not achieving any signal/measurement. The graphite tip

creates a ‘mismatch’ between the tip material and the plastic material measured.

The Delay line is fastened to the transducer with a retaining ring. A drop of couplant is

applied between the delay line and transducer body. Refer to the diagram above. The

couplant should be checked on a regular basis to keep it from drying out. To replenish,

unscrew the retaining ring counterclockwise, separate the delay line from the body,

‘clean both surfaces’, apply a drop of couplant, and reassemble.

Contact Transducer

The single element contact style transducers are commonly used for materials with

an approximate range of 0.040” to the maximum range of the TI-007X rated in steel

and depending on the transducers diameter and frequency. The frequency range is

5.0 to 10 MHz, with diameters available at 0.125, 0.250, 0.375 and 0.500 inches. The

measurement modes used with this style of transducer are pulse-echo (P-E) and echo-

echo (E-E).

Measuring

In order for the transducer to do its job, there must be no air gaps between the wear-

face and the surface of the material being measured. This is accomplished with the use

of a “coupling” uid, commonly called “couplant”. This uid serves to “couple”, or

transfer, the ultrasonic sound waves from the transducer, into the material, and back

again. Before attempting to make a measurement, a small amount of couplant should

be applied to the surface of the material being measured. Typically, a single droplet of

couplant is sufcient.

After applying couplant, press the transducer (wear face down) rmly against the area

to be measured. The Stability Indicator should have six or seven bars darkened, and a

number should appear in the display. If the TI-007X has been properly “zeroed” (see

page 16) and set to the correct sound velocity (see page 17), the number in the display

will indicate the actual thickness of the material directly beneath the transducer.

If the Stability Indicator has fewer than ve bars darkened, or the numbers on the

display seem erratic, rst check to make sure that there is an adequate lm of couplant

beneath the transducer, and that the transducer is seated at against the material. If the

condition persists, it may be necessary to select a different transducer (size or frequency)

for the material being measured. See page 8 for information on transducer selection.

While the transducer is in contact with the material that is being measured, the

TI-007X will perform four measurements every second, updating its display as it does

so. When the transducer is removed from the surface, the display will hold the last

measurement made.
