This document is not a complete user or installation guide, it is intended as an aid for new users to familiarise themselves with the SI7500 digital readout
and it's functionality.
For more detailed information on the SI7500 and it's functionality, please refer to the SI7500 User Manual (document number 502823), available from
Solartron Metrology.
2.0 Safety Information
502858 issue 1.1
2.0 Safety Information
Terms in this Manual:
WARNING statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment or other property.
Safety considerations
The SI7500 is completely enclosed and provides no potentially hazardous outputs. Safety considerations are related to power
connections and physical mounting.
WARNING
If the SI7500 falls from its mounting location, serious personal injury or damage to the equipment can result.
Power cord and plug
Do not locate the power cord where it can be walked on or will create a tripping hazard. Connect the 3-wire power plug to only a 3-wire grounded outlet.
Never connect 2-wire to 3-wire adapters to the power cord or remove the third ground wire to fit the plug into a 2-wire electrical outlet. Modifying or
overriding the third-wire ground creates a safety hazard and should not be permitted.

WARNING
Always disconnect the power cord from the source of AC power before unplugging it from the SI7500 power connector. The AC voltage available at
electrical outlets is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury or death.
Electrical wiring and connections
Perform regular inspections of all connections to the SI7500. Keep connections clean and tight. Locate cables away from moving objects. Do not create
tripping hazards with power cords, input cables and other electrical wiring. Use shielded cables to connect to the parallel, serial RS-232 and RS-485 ports.
Make certain that cables are properly terminated and firmly connected on both ends.
Location and mounting
Mount the SI7500 on a stable surface.
Power surge suppressor
Connect the SI7500 to power through a high-quality power surge suppressor. Surge suppressors limit the amplitude of potentially damaging power line
transients caused by electrical machinery or lightning.
CAUTION
Industrial quality surge suppressors are recommended. Surge suppressors found in inexpensive power strips are insufficient to protect the SI7500 from
damage.

3.1 Functionality Of The SI7500
The SI7500 is a 16 channel advanced digital readout system for performing single or multipoint gauge measurements at very high levels of precision and
accuracy. Dimensional inspection of components can be made using a range of Orbit transducers, encoders and other sensors as part of in-line production
activities or final quality inspection. Measurements can be conducted completely under operator control, or can be semi-automated and conducted in
conjunction with a multipoint fixtured gauge system.
Up to 16 Orbit modules can be assigned
to as many SI7500 channel inputs.
Channel inputs can be algebraically
combined or processed by powerful user
programmed mathematics and control
formulas to display dimensions such as
flatness, volume and runout.
Channel inputs... are processed by formulas... to display dimensions
