Calibration using online setting
NOTICE
Interference in function
Changing the BTL output signal may result in personal 
injury and equipment damage if the system is ready for 
operation.
 ► Persons must keep away from the system's 
hazardous zones.
In online setting the system is not shut down. The start and 
end values are set online.
Maximum setting range for each calibration 
procedure:
Start value:  ±25% of present stroke
End value:  ±25% of present output value
If the desired value cannot be attained in the first 
calibration procedure (max. setting range exceeded), the 
calibration procedure must be started again.

1. Set start value online: Displayed values (example)
 ► Move the system so that the magnet is in the start 
position.

After each calibration procedure you must wait 
for the lockout time of 15s. This also applies to 
switching between the start value and end 
value setting.
2. Set end value online: Displayed values (example)
 ► Move the system so that the magnet is in the end 
position.
At 0 to 10 V At 4 to 20 mA

1) Briefly activate button: Current value is increased or 
decreased by approx. 1mV or 1 µA.
If a button is activated longer than 1 s, the step interval is 
increased.
