This guide provides safety, function, installation, wiring, startup, calibration and technical data for the Balluff BTL5 Micropulse Linear Position…
The Balluff BTL5 Micropulse Linear Position Transducer is a rod‑style sensor that measures position by generating a torsional wave in a waveguide. It offers high resolution, repeatability, absolute output, and IP67 protection, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
The manual covers safety advisory, functional characteristics, mounting instructions, wiring diagrams, startup checks, detailed calibration procedures (teach‑in, manual adjust, reset, online‑setting), and technical data such as dimensions, supply voltage, output ranges, and optional accessories.
| Supply voltage (option 1) | 24 Vdc ±20 % |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (option 2) | ±15 Vdc ±2 % |
| Analog output voltage range | 0 to 10 Vdc |
| Analog output current range | 4 to 20 mA |
| IP rating | IP67 |
| Pressure rating | 600 bar |
| Update rate | 2 kHz |
| Maximum cable length | 20 m (longer possible with proper shielding) |
| Mounting thread size | M18×1.5 (metric) or 3/4"‑16 UNF (standard) |
The cable length may be up to 20 m; longer runs are possible if the cable is properly shielded, grounded and routed away from high‑voltage or noisy lines.
The transducer can be powered with 24 Vdc ±20 % (option 1) or with ±15 Vdc ±2 % (option 2), depending on the version.
