2.1

Intended use

The BML magnetic linear encoder is intended for
communication with a machine control (e.g. PLC). It is
intended to be installed into a machine or system. Flawless
function in accordance with the specifications in the
technical data is ensured only when using original
BALLUFF accessories. Use of any other components will
void the warranty.
Non-approved use is not permitted and will result in the
loss of warranty and liability claims against the
manufacturer.

General safety notes for the linear encoder

Installation and startup may only be performed by
trained specialists with basic electrical knowledge.
Specialists are those who can recognize possible hazards
and institute the appropriate safety measures due to their
professional training, knowledge, and experience, as well
as their understanding of the relevant conditions pertaining
to the work to be done.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take steps to ensure that a
defect in the linear encoder will not result in hazards to
persons or equipment.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the linear
encoder, take it out of service and secure against
unauthorized use.
