FluidLoc Cable Information

The 330106-05-30-50-12-00 includes the FluidLoc cable option (12). This option provides additional fluid protection for the cable over the full 5.0 meter length.

Important Note from Manufacturer

The FluidLoc cable option is not necessary on the vast majority of 330105 and 330106 installations. This is due to the presence of the probe sleeve. Consider the application carefully before ordering this cable option.

When to Use FluidLoc

• Applications with direct fluid exposure to the cable

• Installations without adequate probe sleeve protection

• Environments with aggressive fluids or oils

• Long cable runs in wet or contaminated areas

Environmental Specifications

Temperature Limits

• Standard Probe Operating and Storage: -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F)

• Extended Range Probe Tip: -52°C to +218°C (-62°F to +425°F)

• Extended Range Cable and Connector: -51°C to +260°C (-60°F to +500°F)

• Critical Note: Exposure below -34°C (-30°F) may cause premature pressure seal failure

Humidity Performance

• Humidity Test: Less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF)

• Test Standard: IEC 68-2-3

• Test Duration: Up to 56 days at 93% humidity

Pressure Seal

• Seal Material: Viton® O-ring

• Design Function: Seals differential pressure between probe tip and case

• Pressure Testing: Probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment

Cable Options

The 330106-05-30-50-12-00 uses the FluidLoc cable option at 5.0 meters. Standard cable options are also available for other configurations.

Standard Cable

• Insulation: Fluoroethylene propylene (FEP)

• Available Lengths: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, or 9 meters

FluidLoc Cable (Option 12)

• Type: 75Ω triaxial with additional fluid protection

• Connector: Miniature ClickLoc® coaxial

• Application: Installations requiring enhanced fluid resistance

Extended Temperature Range Cable

• Type: 75Ω triaxial

• Insulation: Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)

• Available Lengths: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 5, or 9 meters

Key Features

The 330106-05-30-50-12-00 provides reliable performance for reverse mount applications. The 5.0 meter FluidLoc cable offers enhanced fluid protection over a long distance. The M10 x 1 threads enable mounting in metric threaded holes. The miniature ClickLoc® connector ensures secure cable attachment.

The 8.73 Ω nominal DC resistance provides consistent signal transmission over 5.0 meters. The PPS probe tip offers excellent chemical resistance. The AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case resists corrosion. No agency approvals are required for general industrial use.

The long 5.0 meter cable allows installation far from monitoring equipment. The FluidLoc cable option adds an extra layer of fluid protection. Consider this option carefully before ordering. The probe sleeve already provides significant protection in most installations.

The Viton® O-ring seals differential pressure effectively. The probe maintains stable performance in high humidity environments. The less than 3% scale factor change after 56 days at 93% humidity demonstrates excellent reliability. The 330 N tensile strength ensures mechanical durability.

Installation Guidelines

Install the 330106-05-30-50-12-00 with proper attention to thread engagement. Do not exceed 15 mm maximum thread engagement. Use M10 x 1 threaded holes for mounting. Hand-tighten the probe into the mounting hole.

Connect the miniature ClickLoc® connector to the extension cable. Push the connector until it clicks into place. Do not use tools on the connector. Hand-tighten only.

Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C. This may cause premature pressure seal failure. Contact the custom design department if pressure testing is required. Ensure proper clearance for the reverse mount configuration.

Evaluate whether the FluidLoc cable is necessary for your application. The probe sleeve provides adequate protection for most installations. Route the 5.0 meter cable away from heat sources and sharp edges. Secure the cable to prevent damage from vibration or movement.
