4.5 Shielding and cable routing
Defined ground!
The transducer and the control cabinet must be
at the same ground potential.
Shielding
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), observe
the following:
– Connect transducer and controller using a shielded
cable.
Shield: Braided copper shield with minimum 85%
coverage.
– Connector version: Shield is internally connected to
connector housing.
– Cable version: On the transducer side, the cable
shielding is connected to the housing.
Magnetic fields
The position measuring system is a magnetostrictive
system. It is important to maintain adequate distance
between the transducer and strong, external magnetic
fields.
Cable routing
Do not route the cable between the transducer, controller,
and power supply near high voltage cables (inductive stray
noise is possible).
The cable must be routed tension-free.
Bending radius for fixed cable
The bending radius for a fixed cable must be at least five
times the cable diameter.
Cable length
BTL7-C/E Max. 100 m 1)
1) Prerequisite: Construction, shielding and routing preclude the effect of any
external noise fields.

Noise elimination
To avoid equipotential bonding - a current flow - through
the cable shield, please note the following:
– Use insulating bushes
– Put the control cabinet and the system in which the
transducer is located to the same ground potential.
