It provides a reliable electrical connection between the 3300 XL proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate transmission of vibration, displacement, and Keyphasor signals for continuous machinery condition monitoring and protection.

Featuring an 8.5-meter cable length, this model is well suited for installations requiring extended cable routing. Its 0.876 kg weight indicates a reinforced construction designed for demanding industrial environments where enhanced mechanical protection and durability are required.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-085-13-05 acts as a precision low-loss coaxial extension cable, transmitting analog signals from the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor while maintaining signal accuracy over longer cable distances.

Signal Transmission Process

1. The 3300 XL proximity probe detects shaft movement using eddy-current sensing technology.
2. The probe converts shaft displacement or vibration into an analog electrical signal.
3. The extension cable transfers the signal with minimal attenuation and electromagnetic interference.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for monitoring, diagnostics, and protection systems.
