Hardware Specifications

Rotor Dynamics and Eddy-Current Probe Scaling

Eddy-current probe scaling relies on exact capacitive and inductive matching across the complete 3300 XL transducer loop. The 4.5-meter length of the 330130 extension cable pairs with a 0.5-meter probe to complete a 5.0-meter system length, preserving the 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) transfer function. Precision coaxial construction prevents signal cross-talk suppression degradation along long cable runs between machine casings and junction boxes. During system setup, gap voltage validation target (-10 VDC targets at center gap) requires proper total system cable capacitance to ensure accurate radial vibration and axial position readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 330130-045-00-00 cable be shortened or spliced in the field?

A: No. Splicing or altering cable length changes total system capacitance and inductance, which severely disrupts probe sensitivity and calibration.

Q: Is this extension cable compatible with non-XL 3300 series proximity probes?

A: No. The 3300 XL extension cables use specialized electrical parameters and ClickLoc connectors designed specifically for 3300 XL series probes and Proximitor Sensors.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify overall system length compatibility before connecting, matching the 4.5-meter extension cable to a 0.5-meter probe for a total 5.0-meter system configuration.
• Route the extension cable through grounded metal conduit or cable trays to minimize high-frequency electromagnetic interference.
• Avoid tight bend radii during routing, keeping the minimum bend radius above 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) to prevent physical impedance changes in the internal coaxial conductor.
• Fully push the miniature ClickLoc coaxial connectors together until an audible tactile click confirms a secure connection.
• Wrap non-protected coaxial connections with self-fusing silicone tape to prevent physical shorting against local junction boxes or machine framework.
