Intended use

The BTL5 Micropulse Transducer, together with a machine
controller (e.g. PLC), comprises a position measuring
system. It is intended to be installed into a machine or
system. Flawless function in accordance with the

possible hazards and institute the appropriate safety
measures due to their professional training, knowledge,

relevant conditions pertaining to the work to be done.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
