7.1  Accuracy
The specifications are typical values for BTL7-A/E… at 
24VDC and room temperature, with a nominal length of 
500mm in conjunction with the BTL5-P-3800-2, 
BTL5-P-4500-1, BTL5-P-5500-2

The transducer 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.

 In the position range from 0 to 20 mm, the specified linearity limit may be 
exceeded by  ±100 µm.

4)
 For  : Use in enclosed spaces and up to a height of 2000m above sea 
level. 
5)
 Individual specifications as per Balluff factory standard, resonances 
excluded
6)
 For  : The transducer must be externally connected via a limited-
energy circuit as defined in UL61010-1, a low-power source as defined in 
UL60950-1, or a class2 power supply as defined in UL1310 or 
UL1585.

 A prerequisite is that no current can flow between GND and 0 V in the 
event of polarity reversal.
