1.2 Probe
The DS600 family currently supports the Prime Controls’ 30mm non-ferrous metal P80T30P
probe. The connection between the controller and the probe uses an industrial Ethernet cable
with 4 twisted wire pairs terminated on one end in a female M12 8 pole connector. The
maximum combined length of cables between the probe and controller is 30m.
The probe is in the form of a 30mmx1.5 threaded plastic body 70mm long not including the
connector (see page 29).
1.3 Probe Nose
The P80T30P probe may be used with the AC30N Delrin probe nose to protect the sensor nose
from potential impact damage. The nose is 2mm thick at the probe face.
1.4 Brackets
The P80T30P probe may be used with the following brackets:
• BR30PL Compliant (spring) mount, plastic
• BR30PA Straight, adjustable point, plastic
• BR30PS Straight, clamp, plastic
1.5 Cables
1.5.1 High Flex
The following high flex cables are available for connecting the P80T30P probe to the DS600
controller:
• CBL600-5 5m high flex cable
• CBL600-15 15m high flex cable
To realize the rated flex life of the cable (10 million cycles), the bend radius of the cable in
continuous flex applications must be 150mm (6 inches) or greater. Smaller radii may result in
reduced flex life.
Additional cable length may be added to the standard cable length up to 30m total distance from
the probe to the controller.
