• Storage Temperature (F): -62°F to +351°F range.

• Note: Slight variation exists between operating and storage minimums.

• Moreover, this cable withstands extreme temperature variations.

FluidLoc and Sealing Features

The FluidLoc option prevents oil and liquid leakage. Therefore, it stops fluids from escaping through the cable interior. Consequently, this protects the machine and work environment. Additionally, silicone tape is provided with each extension cable. However, do not use silicone tape in turbine oil applications. Instead, order a connector protector for humid or oily environments.

Installation Guide

First, connect the Bently Nevada 330730-080-10-CN between probe and Proximitor Sensor. Then, align the ClickLoc connectors carefully before joining. After that, push connectors together until they lock audibly. Next, consider using silicone tape for connection sealing. However, do not use silicone tape with turbine oil exposure. Subsequently, route the cable away from high temperature sources. Also, secure the cable using appropriate clamps or ties. Then, verify the connection withstands pull forces up to 330 N. Finally, set the probe gap to the recommended 2.5 mm (100 mils). As a result, the complete transducer system will perform accurately.
