BTS-Ex, non-contacting thermal switch unit Possible Applications, BTS-Ex Characteristics The safety devices will be installed into/fixed to a master machine. Depending on the ingress protection level (IP), the interval for cleaning the operational equipment (dust deposits) has to be defined.
Non-conductive parts must not exceed a surface of 100 cm² in IIB. • It is not allowed to use the BTS-Ex in equipment with electrical corrosion protection, or after consultation with the manufacturer and by taking special measures only. It is not permitted to route compensation currents through the construction.
BTS-Ex, non-contacting thermal switch unit Possible Applications, BTS-Ex Characteristics – Keep a minimum distance of 3 mm between switching element and initiator ( Chapter 6.3). – After switching off, it is mandatory to eliminate all errors/faults before re-starting or switching on again the BTS-Ex.
BTS-Ex, non-contacting thermal switch unit Function of BTS-Ex 2 Function of BTS-Ex The non-contacting thermal switch unit (BTS-Ex) consists of three components: – Switching element – Initiator with mounting flange – Evaluator Evaluator Turbo coupling Mounting flange a = 4 ± 1 mm...
Chapter 3.1 opens and interrupts the circuit. When the temperature decreases, the thermostatic switch connects again the circuit. The BTS-Ex is again ready for service (it resets automatically). 2.2 Initiator The initiator has been designed as intrinsically safe, polarized two-wire sensor. It works to the inductive sensor principle.
BTS-Ex, non-contacting thermal switch unit Function of BTS-Ex 2.4 Interaction of BTS-Ex components Instead of a blind screw, the switching element is screwed into the turbo coupling. The Installation, position initiator with mounting flange is mounted parallel with the turbo coupling axis and is Chapter 6.3...

Switch off the unit in which the turbo coupling is installed and secure the switch against inadvertent switch-on. • For all work performed on the turbo coupling and BTS-Ex ensure that both the drive motor and the driven machine have stopped running and that unintended starting is absolutely impossible!
- Voith - Nominal response temperature - Ex marking II Ex i X - Serial number (example: Voith 140 °C II Ex i X 1234 5678) • The nominal response temperature of the switching element is determined in connection with the the coupling design.
Installation and/or use of non-original spare parts may negatively change the mecha- nical properties of the BTS-Ex and may thus impair safety. Voith is not liable for any damages resulting from the use of non-original spare parts. only appropriate...
