Installation and connection
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).

magnet:

– Connect the magnet to the machine member with a
joint rod (see Accessories on page 18).
