Micropulse Linear Transducer - Rod Style
3 Installation (cont.)
Protect the transducer from damage and wear. In addition to mechanical protection, this also includes
precautions to prevent damage due to environmental influences.
3.1 Minimum distance to fixed
obstacles
During installation, make sure that
there is a minimum distance
between the transducer housing
and fixed obstacles, such as
protective covers. The required
distance is specified in
EN 60079-14 and depends on the
applied gas group.
Fig. 3-2: Minimum distance
3.2 Installation requirements
of applications outside of
Zone 0 (with magnet rings
according to Section 3.2.1)
We recommend that both the
transducer and the magnet ring be
installed in non-magnetizable ma-
terial. ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ Fig. 3-3
When using magnetizable mate-
rial, suitable means must be used
to protect the transducer from
magnetic interference.
➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ Fig. 3-3
Keep the transducer and cylin-
der sufficiently distant from ex-
ternal magnetic fields.
When using magnetizable material:
When using non-magnetizable ma-
terial:
non-magnetizable material
a = spacer made of non-magnetiz-
able material
b = magnet ring

Ignition Class "d"
Flameproof enclosure
The smallest permissible distance
between the magnet ring and the
mounting surface of the BTL hous-
ing is shown in ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ Fig. 3-1.
The BTL transducer is supplied with
either a 3/4"-16UNF or M18×1.5
mounting thread. Sealing is accom-
plished at the flange contact surface
using the supplied O-ring.
