4.5  Shielding and cable routing
Defined ground!
The transducer and the control cabinet must be 
at the same ground potential.
Shielding
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), observe 
the following:
–  Connect transducer and controller using a shielded 
cable.  
Shield: Braided copper shield with minimum 85% 
coverage.
–  Shield is internally connected to connector housing.
Magnetic fields
The position measuring system is a magnetostrictive 
system. 
It is important to maintain adequate distance between the 
transducer and strong, external magnetic fields.
Cable routing
Do not route the cable between the transducer, controller, 
and power supply near high voltage cables (inductive stray 
noise is possible).
Inductive stray noise from AC harmonics (e.g.from phase 
angle controls) are especially critical and the cable shield 
offers very little protection against this.
Cable length
Cable length max.20m. Longer cables may be used if 
their construction, shielding and routing prevent noise 
interference.

  Installation and connection (continued)
Noise elimination
To avoid equipotential bonding - a current flow - through 
the cable shield, please note the following:
–  Use insulating bushes
–  Put the control cabinet and the system in which the 
BTL6 is located to the same ground potential.
