FAQ

What is the required magnet for this BTL5 transducer?

This transducer requires a separate position magnet, typically a floating or ring magnet, to be installed on the moving part of the machine. The specific magnet model (e.g., BTL-P-...) depends on the application and mounting requirements.

'Gray code' is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one bit, which prevents errors during signal transition. 'Rising' indicates that the position value increases as the magnet moves away from the transducer's electronics head.

While extending the cable is physically possible, it is generally not recommended for SSI interfaces as it can degrade signal integrity, especially at high transmission speeds. If an extension is necessary, use high-quality shielded cable and consult Balluff's technical documentation to avoid data corruption.
