Expert FAQs for Tough Applications

What is the “armored” section, and where is it?

The armor is a rigid metal sheath over the first 50mm of the cable (specified by “-05”). It protects the cable where it is most vulnerable, right at the probe case exit.

When is an armored probe necessary?

Use an armored probe when the cable is exposed to potential impact, crushing, abrasion from insulation, or heavy vibration. It is critical in pulp/paper, mining, or heavy steel industries.

Does the armor affect installation?

Slightly. Ensure the mounting hole or gland is large enough for the armored cable diameter. The armored section must be fully supported and clamped securely.

Can I get this configuration without FluidLoc?

Yes. The “-11” specifies both connector protector and FluidLoc. For armor without FluidLoc, you would choose a different “Connector and Cable-Type Option” code (e.g., -01 or -02). Contact us to configure.

What is the lead time for this specialized probe?

This is a premium configuration. While often in stock, please confirm availability. We use FedEx/DHL/UPS for fast delivery once your order is ready.
