adapter for configuring magnetic encoder systems of type 

BML-S1G…, BML SL1… and BML BM1… . Flawless 

function in accordance with the specifications in the 

technical data is ensured only when using original Balluff 

accessories. Use of any other components will void the 

warranty.

Non-approved use is not permitted and will result in the 

loss of warranty and liability claims against the 

manufacturer.

General safety notes

Installation and startup

 may only be performed by 

trained specialists.

The 

operator

 is responsible for ensuring that local safety 

regulations are observed. In particular, the operator must 

take steps to ensure that a defect in the position 

measuring system will not result in hazards to persons or 

equipment.

  DANGER

Uncontrolled system movement

When starting up, if the magnetic encoder system is part 
of a closed loop system whose parameters have not yet 
been set, the system may perform uncontrolled move-
ments. This could result in personal injury and equipment 
damage.

 

The system must be taken out of operation before 
configuration.

 

The sensor head may only be connected to the USB 
adapter for configuration.

 

After using the Configuration Tool remove the USB 
adapter.
