11.1  Accuracy
The specifications are typical values for BTL7-A/C/E/G... at 
24VDC and room temperature, with a nominal length of 
500mm in conjunction with the BTL-P-1013-4R, 
BTL-P-1013-4S, BTL-P-1012-4R or BTL-P-1014-2R 
magnet.
The BTL is fully operational immediately, with full accuracy 
after warm-up.
For special versions, other technical data may 
apply.
Special versions are indicated by the suffix -SA 
on the part label.

2)  
For  : Use in enclosed spaces and up to a height of 2000 m above sea 
level.
3)
 Individual specifications as per Balluff factory standard
4)  
For  : The transducer must be externally connected via a limitedenergy 
circuit as defined in UL 61010-1, a low-power source as defined in 
UL60950-1, or a class 2 power supply as defined in UL 1310 or 
UL1585.
5)
 A prerequisite is that no current can flow between GND and 0 V in the 
event of polarity reversal.
