2.1

Intended use

The BML magnetic tape, together with a sensor head (e.g.
BML-S...) and a controller (e.g. PLC), comprises a position
measuring system. It is installed on a flat or cylindrical
surface in 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.
The information in these instructions must be observed,
particularly information related to installation. Improper use
will result in the loss of warranty and liability claims against
the manufacturer.

General safety notes for the linear encoder

trained specialists.
Qualified personnel 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 measures to ensure
that a defect in the displacement measurement system will
not result in hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the magnetic
tape, the position measuring system should be taken out
of service and secured against unauthorized use.
