2.1 Characteristics
Micropulse transducers are charac-
terized by:
High resolution, repeatability,
and linearity
Insensitive to shock, vibration,
contamination, and noise
Absolute output signal
Automatic signal regulation
100 % adjusting range
Removable calibration unit
2 kHz update rate
Error-Information on an output signal
Pressure rated to 250 bar
Protected to IP 67 per IEC 60529
2.2 Function
Depending on the model, this
Micropulse transducer may contain
2 or 3 independent measuring
units. This redundant feature
makes this model particularly suit-
able for safety applications.
The transducer contains the tubular
waveguides enclosed by an outer
stainless steel rod. A magnet at-
tached to the moving member of
the machine or to the cylinder pis-
ton is moved over the rod and its
position constantly updated.
The magnet defines the measured
position on the waveguides. An
internally generated INIT pulse in-
teracts with the magnetic field of
the magnet to generate a magneto-
strictive torsional wave in each
waveguide which propagates at
ultrasonic speed.
The torsional wave arriving at the
end of the waveguide is absorbed
in the damping zone. The wave
arriving at the beginning of the
waveguide creates an electrical
signal in the coil surrounding the
waveguide. The propagation time of
the wave is used to derive the posi-
tion. Depending on the version the
corresponding value is output as a
voltage or a current either with rising
or falling characteristic. This pro-
cess takes place with measuring
high precision and repeatability
within the stroke range defined as
nominal stroke length. Depending
on the model, this output signal
may be provided on 2 or 3 indepen-
dent, redundant lines.

3 Installation
Fig. 3-1: Installation options
- when using magnetizable
material
when using non-magnetizable
material
At the rod end is a damping zone,
within which no reliable signal is
available, but which may be en-
tered by the magnet.
The electrical connections be-
tween the individual measuring
units, the controller and the power
supply are made through cables
connected to the electronics hous-
ing.

net ring: Fig. 3-4
2.3 Available nominal stroke
lengths and magnet ring
To assure flexibility for different
applications, a wide range of nomi-
nal stroke lengths in the following
increments are available:
from 25 to 500 mm every 25 mm,
from 500 to 1000 mm every 50 mm,
other stroke lengths on request.

Important Installation Notes:
The contact surface of the trans-
ducer must be completely con-
tacted by the mounting surface.
The O-ring supplied must make a
perfect pressure seal, i.e. the bevel
for the O-ring must be configured
exactly as shown in Fig. 3-3.
To achieve secure mounting, use
the proper nut for the mounting
thread. When tightening the nut, do
cylinder rod should be at least
27 mm.
When attaching the transducer to
magnetizable materials, appro-
priate measures must be taken to
protect against magnetic disturb-
ances, Fig. 3-1.
Note the recommended distance
of the transducer and cylinder from

not exceed a tightening torque of
150 Nm.
For horizontal mounting of trans-
ducer with stroke lengths greater
than 500 mm, the pressure tube
should be supported or attached at
its end.
When installing in a hydraulic cylin-
der, do not allow the magnet ring to
rub against the pressure tube. The

3.3 Magnet ring, installation
Each transducer requires a magnet,
which must be ordered separately.
Fig. 3-4
We recommend that magnet rings
be installed in or against non-mag-
netizable material. Fig. 3-1
Important wiring note:
When routing the cable between
the transducer, controller and
power supply, avoid proximity to
high voltage lines to prevent noise
coupling. Especially critical is in-
ductive noise caused by AC har-
monics (e.g. from phase-control
devices), against which the cable
shield provides only limited protec-
tion.
The shield in the BKS connector
( Fig. 4-3) must be connected to
the connector housing; see in-
structions included with the con-
nector.
The cable shield must be grounded
on the controller side (connected
with the protection ground).
Refer to table 4-1 for wiring as-
signments. Connections on the
control side depend on the output
type.

6 Setup and calibration
5 Start-up
5.1 Check connections
Although the connections are polar-
ity reversal protected, components
can be damaged by improper con-
nections and overvoltage. Before
you apply power, check the con-
nections carefully.
5.2 Turning on the system
Note that the system may execute
uncontrolled movements when first
turned on or when the transducer is
part of a closed-loop system whose
parameters have not yet been set.
Please note:
The calibration device is to be at-
tached to the connection end of
the transducer, Figs. 3-2 and
6-1. Connect the transducer to the
controller. To monitor the calibra-
tion procedure, a display (controller
or multimeter) which displays the
BTL voltage or current levels is
required. All settings are done with
a magnet within the stroke area.
Please verify that the absolute null-
and endpoints are always within the
maximum and minimum possible
output values, Value table 7-1 on
page 8.
The buttons are automatically dis-
abled after approximately 10 min-
utes of non-use.
Advantages of this calibration
procedure:
The display will indicate the cur-
rent position value even during the
calibration procedure.
The last calibrated values remain
stored, regardless of whether the
programming mode was quite by
pressing the button or automati-
cally after 10 min.

Unused leads can be tied to

GND on the control side, but they
must never be connected to the
shield.

Reference GND for supply
voltage and EMC!
4 Wiring (cont.)
Table 4-1: Wiring
Therefore make sure that no haz-
ards could result from these situa-
tions.
5.3 Check output values
After replacing or repairing a trans-
ducer, it is advisable to verify the
values for the start and end position
of the magnet in manual mode. If
values other* than those present
before the replacement or repair are
found, a correction should be
made.
* Transducers are subject to modifi-
cation or manufacturing tolerances.
5.4 Check functionality
The functionality of the transducer
system and all its associated com-
ponents should be regularly
checked and recorded.
5.5 Fault conditions
When there is evidence that the
transducer system is not operating
properly, it should be taken out of
service and guarded against unau-
thorized use.
Any desired magnet position within
the factory set nominal stroke length
can be assigned with a null- or end-
point. The null- and endpoint may
not however be reversed.
Once the calibration procedure is
concluded, the calibration device
can be removed to prevent acciden-
tal changes and to store in a safe
place for the next use.
The examples shown in this hand-
book refer to the two versions with
0 to 10 V and 4 to 20 mA outputs.
For all other versions the corre-
sponding values can be found in
Value table 7-1 on page 8.

9 Resetting all values (Reset)
If an existing configuration needs to
be deleted, all values can be re-
stored to the original factory set-
tings (Reset).
Note:
The Reset procedure must be
performed individually for each
measuring unit.
Activate buttons:
1. Press one of the buttons for at
least 3 s. Release button.
2. Within 1 s hold down buttons 1+2
simultaneously for at least 3 s. Now
the Error value remains stored as
the output signal.
If an error occurs or there is an
interruption while activating a
button, please wait for an addi-
tional 12 s before starting over.
Perform reset:
3. Hold down both buttons for at least
6 s. The Null value is displayed, and
the reset has taken place.
4. Release buttons. The current posi-
tion value is displayed and the but-
tons are again deactivated.
The transducer is ready for new
calibration.

10 Online-setting mode
CAUTION! In this procedure the machine with the BTL system remains
operational, i.e., any change in the BTL output signal may
cause the machine to respond.
Be sure that this response will not result in any risk to persons
or equipment!
Maximum adjusting range for each adjustment procedure:
Start value = max. 12.5 % of actual stroke,
End value = max. 12.5 % of actual output value.
Note: Between each adjustment procedure also between setting of start
and end value has to be exited by waiting 15 s (time out) until the next
adjustment can be carried out.
When the desired value cannot be reached within the first adjustment pro-
cedure because the adjustment range of 12.5 % is exceeded, another
adjustment can be carried out after 15 s. This can be repeated until the
desired value is achieved.
The BTL output signal at a particu-
lar magnet position is set to the
desired value which is then stored
by the controller as a start or end
value without having to power
down the entire system. For this
reason the safety advisory at right
should be especially noted.
Setting start value online:
1. Position system so that the mag-
net ring is located at the start posi-
tion.
2. Activate buttons:
Hold button 1 down for at least 3 s
and then without releasing button
1 hold both buttons down for at
least 3 s.
3. Setting the value:
Briefly pressing the buttons in-
creases or decreases the actual
value by approx. 1 mV or 2 A.
Holding a button down for longer
than 1 s increases the step size.
4. Once the adjustment range or the
desired start value is reached, the
setup mode is automatically exited
if no button is pressed for at least
15 s. The buttons are again dis-
abled. Another adjustment proce-
dure can be carried out.
Setting end value online:
1. Position system so that the mag-
net ring is located at the end posi-
tion.
2. Activate buttons:
Hold button 2 down for at least 3 s
and then - without releasing but-
ton 2 - hold both buttons down for
at least 3 s.
3. Setting the value:
Briefly pressing the buttons in-
creases or decreases the actual
value by approx. 1 mV or 2 A.
Holding a button down for longer
than 1 s increases the step size.
4. Once the adjustment range or the
desired end value is reached, the
setup mode is automatically exited
if no button is pressed for at least
15 s. The buttons are again dis-
abled. Another adjustment proce-
dure can be carried out.
