Installing the BTL
NOTICE!
Interference in function
Improper installation can compromise the function of the
BTL and result in increased wear.
►
Only vertical mounting from above is permitted!
►
The mounting surface of the BTL must make full
contact with the supporting surface and be perfectly
sealed through the use of a seal and tri-clamp.
►
Mounting must be done in a manner where the rod
cannot touch the container wall. Deflection of the
rod to the side, e.g. through flow currents, must
be prevented by a suitable, cleanable bracket or
appropriate positioning in the tank.
►
Be sure that no foreign bodies can end up in the
product area.

3.
Fasten the BTL with a 1 1/2" tri-clamp.
4.
Clean the product area and the magnetostrictive linear
position sensor.
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

Dimensions and function
The BTL contains the waveguide which is protected by an
outer stainless steel tube (rod). A float is moved along the
waveguide. This float also rises and falls with the level of
the liquid whose position is to be determined.
The float defines the position to be measured on the
waveguide.
Ensure vertical mounting! The BTL is shown in a
horizontal position in the Figure.
