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.
2.2 General safety notes for the position
measuring system
Installation and startup may only be performed by
trained specialists with basic electrical knowledge.
Qualified personnel are persons whose technical
training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge
of the relevant regulations allow them to assess the work
assigned to them, recognize possible hazards and take
appropriate safety measures.
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 position measuring 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.
