Calibration procedure
6.1  Calibration device (not for BTL7-…-S140)
The calibration device is an additional device for calibrating 
the transducer.
 ► Before calibrating: Place the calibration device on the 
connection side of the transducer.
 ► When finished with calibration: Remove the calibration 
device to prevent changes.
 ► Keep the calibration device for later use.
Automatic deactivation!
If the buttons on the calibration device are not 
pressed for approx.10min., programming 
mode is automatically ended.

6.2  Programming inputs (not for BTL7-…-S135)
Instead of the calibration device, the programming inputs 
may also be used for setting.
–  La corresponds to button 1,
–  Lb corresponds to button 2,
–  Programming input at 20 to 28V (BTL7-_1_ _-...) or 10 
to 30V (BTL7-_5_ _-...) corresponds to button 
depressed (high active).
Automatic deactivation!
If no signals are sent over the programming 
inputs for approx.10min., programming mode 
is automatically ended.
6.3  Calibration procedure overview
6.3.1  Teach-in
The factory set null point and end point is replaced by a 
new null point and end point.
The detailed procedure for teach-in is described 
on page 18.
Steps:
 ► Move magnet to the new zero position.
 ► Read new null point by pressing the buttons.

 ► Move magnet to the new end position.
 ► Read new end point by pressing the buttons.
