Direct Questions & Answers

What is the main difference between this and more expensive armored probes?

The key difference is the “-00” agency approval. This model lacks costly hazardous area certifications (CSA/ATEX/IECEx), making it a more economical choice for standard areas.

Is the 100mm armor sufficient for my application?

The 100mm armor covers a critical length. It is suitable for most applications where the cable needs protection from incidental contact, vibration, or loose insulation materials.

Can this probe be used outdoors?

Yes, its materials are corrosion-resistant. However, ensure the electrical connections are in a sealed enclosure, as the probe itself is not rated for direct, prolonged water immersion.

From a maintenance view, is the armored section serviceable?

No, the armor is a permanent, molded part of the probe assembly. If the armored cable is damaged, the entire probe must be replaced.

How do I order this for a high-temperature application above 177°C?

This standard model is rated to 177°C. For higher temperatures, you must select the Extended Temperature Range (ETR) version. Please contact us to specify the correct variant.
