• Cable Length (045): 4.5 meters (14.8 feet).
• Connector Protection (01): Integrated flexible stainless steel armor jacket.
• Approvals (05): Multi-agency certified (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) for hazardous locations.
• Cable Tech: 75 Ω coaxial with low-capacitance design for signal stability.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

Proper installation of the 330130-045-01-05 is essential for hazardous area compliance. Each cable includes silicone tape for additional connector protection; however, note that silicone tape is not recommended for applications where the connection is directly exposed to turbine oil. For high-reliability gapping, the system should be powered between -23 Vdc and -26 Vdc. Ensure the armored jacket is properly grounded to prevent EMI interference from affecting the 2 mm linear range.

Engineering Advantages

The 330130-045-01-05 stands out due to its multi-agency hazardous area certifications, making it a universal choice for global infrastructure. The patented construction improvements ensure a 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, significantly reducing cable failure during conduit installation. Furthermore, the cable’s design is optimized to maintain a sensitivity of less than 2 mV change in output per volt of input change, ensuring that power supply fluctuations do not compromise your vibration monitoring accuracy.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Why is the weight higher on this model compared to standard cables?
A1: This model (Option 01) includes full stainless steel armor, which increases the weight to 0.618 kg but provides essential protection against mechanical wear, cutting, and crushing.

Q2: Can this cable be used in offshore maritime applications?
A2: Yes. Its 56-day humidity resistance rating (per IEC 68-2-3) and multi-agency approvals (ATEX/IECEx) make it suitable for harsh marine and offshore platforms.

Q3: What target material is required for the stated accuracy?
A3: System accuracy and interchangeability specifications are based on calibration to an AISI 4140 steel target. Use with other materials may require recalibration.
