2.1 Intended use
The BTL7 Micropulse Transducer, together with a machine
controller (e.g. PLC), comprises a position measuring
system. It is intended to be installed into a machine or
system. 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 transducer or non-approved use are not
permitted and will result in the loss of warranty and liability
claims against the manufacturer.
2.2 General safety notes for the position
measuring system
Installation and startup may only be performed by
trained specialists with basic electrical knowledge.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize
possible hazards and institute the appropriate safety
measures due to their professional training, knowledge,
and experience as well as their understanding of the
relevant conditions pertaining to the work to be done.
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.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the transducer, it
should be taken out of service and secured against
unauthorized use.
2.3 Explanationof the warnings
Always observe the warnings in these instructions and the
measures described to avoid hazards.
The warnings used here contain various signal words and
are structured as follows:
SIGNAL WORD
Hazard type and source
Consequences if not complied with
►Measures to avoid hazards
The individual signal words mean:
NOTICE!
Identifies a hazard that could damage or destroy the
product.
DANGER
The general warning symbol in conjunction with the
signal word DANGER identifies a hazard which, if not
avoided, will certainly result in death or serious
injury.
2.4 Disposal
►Observe the national regulations for disposal.

3Construction and function (continued)
3.2 Function
The BTL7 transducer 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 speed.
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 function scope can only be
configured with the PC software "Micropulse
Configuration Tool". To do this, the USB
communication box must be connected (see
Accessories on page18).

4.1 Installing the transducer
NOTICE!
Improper installation
Improper installation can compromise the function of the
transducer and result in damage.
►For this reason, ensure that no strong electrical or
magnetic fields are present in the immediate vicinity
of the transducer.
►The recommended spacing for the installation must
be strictly observed.
Any orientation is permitted. Mount the transducer 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 transducer is electrically isolated from the machine
with the supplied insulating bushes (see Fig. 3-1).
1. Guide the transducer into the mounting clamps.
2. Attach transducer to the base using mounting screws
(tighten screws in the clamps with a max.2Nm).
3. Insert magnet (accessories).
The micropulse transducer 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 transducer.
– 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 transducer and for center offsetC (see
Fig. 4-4 toFig. 4-8):
Type of magnet DistanceB1) OffsetC
BTL5-P-3800-2 0.1…4mm ±2mm
BTL5-P-5500-2 5…15mm ±15mm

BTL6-A-3801-2 4…8mm2) ±5mm
2) The selected distance must stay constant over the entire measuring length.
1) For optimum measurement results, a distanceB of 6 to 8mm is
recommended.
