Intended use
The BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensor, together
with a machine controller (e.g. PLC), comprises a position
measuring system. It is intended to be installed into a
machine or system and used in the industrial sector.
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.
Opening the BTL or non-approved use are not permitted
and will result in the loss of warranty and liability claims
against the manufacturer.
The B style is used in the figures in this guide by way of
example.
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 BTL will not result
in hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the BTL, take it
out of service and secure against unauthorized use.

Further information, particularly on the
interfaces, BTL installation and electrical
connection, can be found in the respective
user's guide.
Dimensions and function
The BTL contains the waveguide which is protected by an
outer stainless steel tube (rod). A magnet is moved along
the waveguide. This magnet is connected to the system
part whose position is to be determined.
The magnet defines the position to be measured on the
waveguide.
Startup
DANGER
Uncontrolled system movement
When starting up, if the position measuring system is part
of a closed loop system whose parameters have not yet
been set, the system may perform uncontrolled
movements. This could result in personal injury and
equipment damage.
►
Persons must keep away from the system’s
hazardous zones.
►
Startup must be performed only by trained technical
personnel.
►
Observe the safety instructions of the equipment or
system manufacturer.
1.
Check connections for tightness and correct polarity.
Replace damaged connections.
2.
Turn on the system.
3.
Check measured values and adjustable parameters
(especially after replacing the BTL or after manufacturer
repairs). Re-adjust the BTL, if necessary.
Operating Notes
– Regularly check function of the BTL and all associated
components.
– Take the BTL out of operation whenever there is a
malfunction.
– Secure the system against unauthorized use.
EMC characteristics can only be ensured if the
BTL _ -...-ZA10 / ZA15 is completely installed in a
grounded metal housing.
