5.1  Starting up the system
  DANGER
Uncontrolled system movement
When starting up, if the position measuring system is 
part of a closed loop system whose parameters have not 
yet been set, the system may perform uncontrolled 
movements. This could result in personal injury and 
equipment damage.
 ► Persons must keep away from the system’s 
hazardous zones.
 ► Startup must be performed only by trained technical 
personnel.
 ► Observe the safety instructions of the equipment or 
system manufacturer.
1.  Check connections for tightness and correct polarity. 
Replace damaged connections.
2.  Turn on the system.
3.  Check measured values and adjustable parameters 
and readjust the BTL if necessary.
Check for the correct values, especially after 
replacing the BTL or after repair by the 
manufacturer.
5.2  Operating notes
 – Regularly check function of the BTL and all associated 
components.
 – Take the BTL out of operation whenever there is a 
malfunction.
