FluidLoc Cable Information

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 includes the FluidLoc cable option -12. This cable provides enhanced fluid resistance for challenging environments. The FluidLoc cable option is not necessary on the vast majority of 330105 and 330106 installations. Consider your application carefully before ordering. The presence of the probe sleeve typically provides sufficient protection. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 FluidLoc cable is for special fluid exposure applications.

Electrical Specifications

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 nominal probe DC resistance is measured from center conductor to outer conductor. The probe length is 0.5 meter. The RPROBE is 7.45 ± 0.50 Ω. This low resistance ensures accurate signal transmission. The probe cable is 75Ω triaxial type. The cable uses fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation for standard temperature.

Probe Thread and Engagement

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 probe case thread is M10 x 1. This metric thread suits many industrial mounting applications. The maximum length of thread engagement is 15 mm. This allows secure mounting without bottoming out. The probe weight is 323 g per meter (11.4 oz per meter). The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 0.5m length weighs approximately 162 g.

Probe Materials

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 probe tip uses Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This material offers excellent chemical resistance. The probe case uses AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). The connector material is gold-plated brass or gold-plated beryllium copper. The gold plating ensures reliable electrical contact. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 connector is the miniature ClickLoc type with FluidLoc cable.

Cable Specifications

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 uses standard 75Ω triaxial cable as base. The FluidLoc option adds enhanced fluid resistance. The total probe length is 0.5 meter. Extended temperature range cable uses perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) insulation. Flexible armor is optional with AISI 302 or 304 SST and FEP outer jacket. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 has no armor in this configuration.

Tensile Strength Ratings

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 maximum rated tensile strength is 330 N (75 lbf). This applies between the probe case and probe lead. The tensile strength at the probe lead to extension cable connectors is 270 N (60 lbf). Do not exceed these ratings during installation. Excessive pulling may damage the internal connections. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 FluidLoc cable maintains these strength ratings.

Temperature Ranges

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 operating and storage temperature for standard probe is -52°C to +177°C. This equals -62°F to +350°F. Exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) may cause premature pressure seal failure. The probe sealing material consists of a Viton O-ring. Extended temperature range probes reach higher temperatures for tip and cable. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 is not pressure tested prior to shipment.

Humidity Performance

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 shows less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF). Testing occurs in 93% humidity according to IEC standard 68-2-3. The test duration is up to 56 days. This ensures reliable operation in humid environments. The FluidLoc cable on the 330106-05-30-05-12-05 provides additional moisture protection.

Reverse Mount Design

The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 is a reverse mount probe. This design allows installation from the back of the mounting surface. Reverse mounting suits machines with limited front access. The M10 x 1 threads provide secure attachment. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 fits into tight spaces where standard probes cannot reach.

Installation Guidelines

Mount the 330106-05-30-05-12-05 using the M10 x 1 threads. Ensure the thread engagement does not exceed 15 mm. Hand-tighten the probe into the mounting hole. Do not use excessive force or tools on the probe body. Connect the miniature ClickLoc FluidLoc connector securely. Hand-tighten the ClickLoc connector until it locks. For hazardous area installations, follow all CSA, ATEX, and IECEx codes. The FluidLoc cable provides extra fluid sealing at the connection point. Do not pull on the cable during installation. Keep the probe cable away from sharp edges. Protect the cable from crushing or excessive bending. Verify the probe tip is clean before installation. Set the proper gap according to your proximitor specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What hazardous area approvals does the 330106-05-30-05-12-05 carry?
The probe has CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 is certified for use in explosive atmospheres worldwide.

Q2: Do I need the FluidLoc cable on this approved probe?
Most installations do not require FluidLoc cable. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 FluidLoc option is for special applications with fluid exposure at the connector.

Q3: Can I use this probe with a standard extension cable in hazardous areas?
Yes, but use only approved extension cables. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 requires matching hazardous area rated components for full certification.

Q4: What is the difference between standard and FluidLoc cable?
FluidLoc provides enhanced fluid resistance at the connector interface. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 seals better against oil and coolant ingress.

Q5: Is this probe suitable for temperatures below -34°C?
Prolonged exposure below -34°C may cause pressure seal failure. The 330106-05-30-05-12-05 should avoid these extreme low temperatures for seal longevity.
