4.1  Installing the BTL
NOTICE
Improper installation
Improper installation can compromise the function of the 
transducer and result in damage.
 ► Ensure that no strong electrical or magnetic fields are 
present in the direct vicinity of the BTL.
 ► Be sure to maintain the specified distances and 
separations.
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 
frequencies 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 the BTL to the base using mounting screws 
(tighten screws in the clamps with max.2Nm).
3.  Installing magnet (accessory). When using multiple 
magnets see chapter3.3.
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).

Installation and connection
4.2  Captive magnets
Note when installing the magnet:
–  Avoid lateral forces.
–  Connect the magnet to the machine member with a 
joint rod (see Accessories on page15).
