Magnet: Defines the position to be measured on the 
waveguide. Magnets are available in various models and 
must be ordered separately (see accessories on 
page25).
Nominal length: Defines the available measuring range. 
Rods with various nominal lengths from 25 mm to 
7620mm are available depending on the version:
–  Ø10.2mm: Nominal length from 25mm to 7620mm
–  Ø8mm: Nominal length from 25mm to 1016mm
Damping zone: Area at the end of the rod that cannot be 
used for measurements, but which may be passed over.
Calibration device: Additional device for calibrating the 
transducer (not for BTL7-….-S140).

3.1  Construction
Electrical connection: The electrical connection is made 
via a cable or a connector (see Ordering code on 
page29).
BTL housing: Aluminum housing containing the 
processing electronics.
Mounting thread: We recommend assembling this 
transducer on the mounting thread:
–  BTL7-…-A/B: M18×1.5
–  BTL7-…-Y/Z: 3/4"-16UNF
The transducers with Ø10.2mm have an additional thread 
at the end of the rod to support larger nominal lengths.
