Overview

The EZ1000 Converter Cable is a dedicated eddy-current sensor cable used with Emerson/EPRO’s PR642x proximity probes and the EZ1000 converter system. It provides a shielded, low-noise connection that preserves signal integrity in high-vibration and electrically noisy environments.

Moreover, the cable is engineered for heavy-duty turbomachinery applications, featuring oil-resistant and chemical-resistant polyurethane jacketing, robust connectors, and high operating-temperature tolerance. This ensures reliable data transmission for condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and protection systems in critical rotating equipment.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

Turbomachinery Monitoring
For steam, gas, and hydro turbines where accurate displacement and vibration signals are required.

Compressor and Pump Diagnostics
Ensures noise-free transmission of shaft displacement and eccentricity measurements.

Predictive Maintenance
Delivers reliable eddy-current probe signals to help detect imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, or rotor rub.

Safety & Trip Systems
Used in shutdown and protection systems that require precise, uninterrupted sensor data.

Example Use Case
In a gas turbine monitoring system, the EZ1000 cable connects a PR6423 probe to the EZ1000 converter, enabling continuous measurement of shaft vibration and eccentricity to prevent unplanned outages or mechanical failures.
