Minimum distance to fixed obstacles

During installation, make sure that there is a minimum
distance between the BTL housing and fixed obstacles,
such as protective covers. The required distance is
specified in EN 60079-14 and depends on the applied gas
group.

Magnetizable material
If using magnetizable material, the BTL must be protected
against magnetic interference through suitable measures
(e.g. spacer ring made of non-magnetizable material, a
suitable distance from strong external magnetic fields).

Preparing for installation

Installation note: We recommend using non-
magnetizable material to mount the BTL and magnet.
Horizontal assembly: For horizontal assembly with
nominal lengths > 500 mm, support the rod and tighten it
at the end if necessary.
Hydraulic cylinder: If installed in a hydraulic cylinder,
ensure that the minimum value of 13 mm for the bore
diameter of the support piston is complied with.
Fitting bore: The mounting surface of the BTL must make
full contact with the supporting surface. A suitable O-ring
must completely seal the bore, i.e. the countersink for the
O-ring must be produced according to Fig. 4-4.
