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

With an 8-meter cable length and a heavy-duty construction, this extension cable is suitable for industrial applications requiring enhanced mechanical durability and dependable signal integrity.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-080-11-05 functions as a precision low-loss coaxial extension cable, transmitting the analog signal generated by the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor while minimizing attenuation and electromagnetic interference.

Signal Transmission Process

1. The proximity probe detects shaft movement using eddy-current technology.
2. The probe converts shaft displacement into an analog electrical signal.
3. The extension cable transfers the signal to the Proximitor sensor.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for machinery monitoring and protection.
