3Construction and function (continued)
3.2 Function
The BTL contains the waveguide which is protected by an
aluminum housing. 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.
An internally generated INIT pulse interacts with the
magnetic field of the magnet to generate a torsional wave
in the waveguide which propagates at ultrasonic velocity.
The component of the torsional wave which arrives at the
end of the waveguide is absorbed in the damping zone to
prevent reflection. The component of the torsional wave
which arrives at the beginning of the waveguide is
converted by a coil into an electrical signal. The travel time
of the wave is used to calculate the position. Depending
on the version, this information is made available as a
voltage or current with rising or falling gradient.
The following functions can be selected for the output
values:
– Position
– Speed (with or without leading sign)
– Differential position
Two outputs that can be independently assigned are
available. Two magnets can be used.
The entire range of functionality can only be
configured with the PC software BTL7
Configuration Tool. To do this, the USB
communication box must be connected (see
Accessories on page18).

4.1 Installing the BTL
NOTICE!
Improper installation
Improper installation can compromise the function of the
BTL and result in damage.
►For this reason, ensure that no strong electrical or
magnetic fields are present in the immediate vicinity
of the BTL.
►The recommended spacing for the installation must
be strictly observed.
Any orientation is permitted. Mount the BTL on a level
surface of the machine using the provided mounting
clamps and cylinder-head screws. A sufficient number of
mounting clamps is supplied.
In order to avoid the development of resonant
frequences from vibration loads, we
recommend arranging the mounting clamps at
irregular intervals.
The BTL is electrically isolated from the machine with the
supplied insulating bushes (see Fig. 3-1).
1. Guide the BTL into the mounting clamps.
2. Attach BTL to the base using mounting screws (tighten
screws in the clamps with a max.2Nm).
3. Insert magnet (accessories).
The BTL in profile housing is suitable both for
floating, i.e.non-contacting magnets (see
Fig. 4-4 toFig. 4-8) and for captive magnets
(see Fig. 4-1 to Fig. 4-3).
4.2 Captive magnets
The following must be observed when installing the
magnet:
– Avoid lateral forces.
– Connect the magnet to the machine member with a
joint rod (see Accessories on page18).

4.3 Floating magnets
The following must be observed when installing the
magnet:
– To ensure the accuracy of the position measuring
system, the magnet is attached to the moving member
of the machine using non-magnetizable screws
(stainless steel, brass, aluminum).
– The moving member must guide the magnet on a track
parallel to the BTL.
– Ensure that the distance A between parts made of
magnetizable material and the magnet is at least
10mm (see Fig. 4-4 toFig. 4-8).
– Maintain the following values for distance B between
the magnet and BTL and for center offsetC (see
Fig. 4-4 toFig. 4-8):

Prerequisites
– USB communication box connected to the BTL and
PC.
– Software correctly installed.
– BTL connected to the power supply.
– Magnet on BTL.
Magnets and outputs
– Number of magnets can be selected:
• 1 magnet (factory setting)
• 2 magnets
• Flexible Magnet Mode (FMM)
– Two outputs can be assigned independently
The number of magnets can be fixed or flexible:
– Fixed setting
If one magnet is set, a second magnet will be ignored.
If two magnets are set, there must be two magnets on
the BTL. If there is only one, the error value is issued on
all outputs. A third magnet will be ignored.
– Flexible Magnet Mode (FMM)
In Flexible Magnet Mode, the number of magnets is
flexible, allowing them to be changed during operation.
If there are two magnets on the BTL, the respective
output function is issued via the outputs.
If there is only one magnet on the BTL, its output
function is always issued via output 1. Since there is no
second magnet, output 2 issues the error value.
Changing the number of magnets during operation can
cause the assignment of outputs and their values to be
swapped.
Output functions
– Position: position in the measuring range.
– Speed: speed of the magnet. The sign indicates the
direction of movement. Movement from the null point
to the end point is output with a positive sign.
Movement from the end point to the null point is output
with a negative sign. Max. detectable speed range of
−10to+10m/s.
– Speed (no sign): speed of the magnet. The direction
of movement cannot be read. Max. detectable speed
range of 0to10m/s.
– Differential position: Distance between two magnets.
Selection is only possible if two magnets have been
selected.
Freely configurable characteristic curve
– Null and end points can be read (teach-in) or specified
with the mouse.
– The distance between the null point and end point
must be at least 4mm.
– The characteristic curve can be inverted or copied from
the other output.
– The limits can be adjusted to the measuring range.
– The error value can be set in accordance with the
limits.
Boundary conditions for two magnets
– Two magnets can only be selected from a nominal
length ≥90 mm.
– The distance between two magnets must be ≥65 mm.

1) In the position range from 0 to 20 mm, the specified linearity limit may be
exceeded by ±100 µm.
2) Only position output. For speed output, next-higher measured value rate
(500µs or 750µs).
3) Nominal length 500mm, magnet in the middle of the measuring range
4) For UL: Use in enclosed spaces and up to a height of 2000m above sea
level.
5) Individual specifications as per Balluff factory standard
6) Resonant frequencies excluded
7) For UL: The BTL must be externally connected via a limited-energy circuit
as defined in UL61010-1, a low-power source as defined in UL60950-1,
or a class2 power supply as defined in UL1310 or UL1585.
8) A prerequisite is that no current can flow between GND and 0 V in the
event of polarity reversal.
9) Only with PC software (BTL7 Configuration Tool)
