Structural Characteristics: Coaxial cable with a triaxial structure designed for the 25mm probe system. The cable features high-temperature ClickLoc connectors with standard connector protectors and FluidLoc sealing to prevent moisture migration. The 8.0-meter length provides sufficient reach for typical steam turbine DE measurement installations where the Proximitor is mounted at a distance from the turbine casing.

Working Principle: The extension cable serves as the signal transmission bridge in the eddy current sensor system, transmitting the high-frequency signal generated by the probe tip coil to the Proximitor without loss through the coaxial structure. The outer shielding braid of the coaxial structure prevents external electromagnetic interference from intruding, while the inner signal line maintains constant impedance. Once the signal reaches the Proximitor, it undergoes amplification, demodulation, and linearization, ultimately outputting a DC voltage signal proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the target surface.

Installation Requirements:

  • Ensure the total length of the probe cable plus the extension cable matches the Proximitor system length configuration
  • Cable routing must maintain at least 30cm clearance from high-voltage power cables
  • Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4mm; prohibit excessive bending
  • High-temperature ClickLoc connectors are hand-tightened; do not use tools
  • The shielding layer must be grounded at a single point on the Proximitor end; prohibit multi-point grounding to prevent ground loops
  • Connector protectors must be installed after the final connection is completed to ensure sealing effectiveness
  • Hazardous area installations must comply with applicable explosion-proof regulations

Usage Notes:

  • The “25” code indicates the 25mm probe system; this cable is not interchangeable with 8mm or 11mm system cables
  • The “05” code indicates multi-agency certification; verify that the specific certifications meet site requirements before installation
  • Inspect connector condition and connector protector integrity at each maintenance interval
  • Never cut or splice the extension cable; any modification will destroy impedance matching
  • When upgrading from 7200 series 25mm systems, all components (probe, extension cable, and Proximitor) must be replaced with 3300 XL 25mm components simultaneously
  • Hazardous area installations must comply with applicable explosion-proof regulations
