Main Parameters

Core Features & Advantages

• Complete Interchangeability and Signal Integrity: The 3300 XL system supports complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor Sensors. The cable's 75 Ω triaxial construction with FEP insulation ensures high signal-to-noise ratio and precise impedance matching, preserving the system's calibrated measurement accuracy without the need for individual component matching or bench calibration .

• Hazardous Area Approvals for Versatile Deployment: The -05 suffix indicates the cable carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, making it suitable for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres commonly found in oil & gas, chemical, and petrochemical facilities .

• Robust Construction for Harsh Environments: The FEP insulation provides excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, and temperature extremes, making the cable suitable for demanding industrial environments where rotating machinery is often located . The standard ClickLoc™ connectors feature a locking mechanism that prevents loosening from vibration and requires only finger-tight torque—the connectors "click" when properly engaged .

• Total System Length Configuration: The 8.0-meter extension cable is designed to pair with a 1.0-meter probe to form a complete 9.0-meter system when used with a 9-meter Proximitor Sensor. The sum of the probe cable length plus extension cable length must equal the Proximitor's rated system length .

Typical Applications

The 330130-080-00-05 is widely used for critical rotating machinery monitoring across various heavy industries :

• Power Generation: Radial vibration measurements on fluid-film bearing turbines

• Oil & Gas: Thrust (axial) position monitoring in high-speed compressors

• General Industry: Keyphasor and speed sensing applications, integration with 3500/42M or 3500/45 monitoring racks

• Hazardous Area Machinery: Suitable for petrochemical plants and oil platforms requiring explosion-proof or intrinsically safe monitoring systems

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the model number "330130-080-00-05" indicate?
A: The breakdown is: 330130 = 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable; -080 = 8.0 meter (26.2 feet) cable length; -00 = Standard cable (no armor, no connector protector); -05 = CSA, ATEX, IECEx agency approvals .

Q2: What is the total system length this cable can create?
A: The 8.0-meter extension cable pairs with a 1.0-meter probe to form a complete 9.0-meter system when used with a 9-meter Proximitor Sensor. The sum of the probe cable length plus extension cable length must equal the Proximitor's rated system length .

Q3: Can this cable be used with 5 mm or 11 mm probes?
A: The 3300 XL 8 mm system, including the 330130-080-00-05, is electrically tuned for 8 mm and 5 mm probes only. It is not compatible with 11 mm or 25 mm transducer systems due to differences in electrical impedance and scale factor .

Q4: What is the advantage of the hazardous area approvals?
A: The -05 suffix indicates CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. This allows the cable to be installed in potentially explosive atmospheres, ensuring compliance with safety regulations in petrochemical, oil & gas, and chemical processing facilities .

Q5: What is the minimum bend radius for installation?
A: The minimum cable bend radius is 25.4 mm (1.0 inch). Exceeding this limit can damage the cable's internal conductors and degrade signal quality .

Q6: How do I verify the correct total system length?
A: The sum of the extension cable length and the probe lead length must equal the Proximitor Sensor system length. For example, a 9-meter Proximitor works with an 8-meter extension cable and a 1-meter probe .

Q7: What is the operating temperature range?
A: The cable operates from -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +350°F). This extended range makes it suitable for extreme industrial environments .

Q8: How should the extension cable be routed?
A: Route the extension cable away from power lines and noise sources. Maintain a minimum distance of 12 inches from AC power cables and motor leads. Never run sensor cables in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring. Use mounting clips to secure the cable and avoid stress on the connections .
