FAQ

1. What is the main function of the 330101-00-30-10-02-00 probe?

   It is used to measure the dynamic and static displacement of machine shafts using non-contact eddy current technology.

2. Is the probe compatible with older Bently Nevada systems?

   Yes, it is backward-compatible with many 7200 and 3300 systems when properly configured.

3. Can it be used in high-temperature environments?

   Yes, it supports operations up to 177°C (350°F).

4. What is the maximum distance the probe can be mounted from the shaft?

   The linear measurement range is 2 mm (80 mils), and typical standoff is around 1.0 mm.

5. What type of material does the probe best work with?

   AISI 4140 steel is the standard target material for accurate readings.

6. Can this probe be used underwater or in wet environments?

   Yes, the IP67 rating allows use in wet and dusty conditions when properly installed and sealed.

7. What kind of cabling does it use?

   It uses a coaxial cable with optional armor for added protection in industrial environments.

8. How does it connect to the monitoring system?

   It connects to a Proximitor sensor, which then outputs the processed signal to the monitoring or control system.

9. What maintenance is required for the probe?

   It is maintenance-free under normal operation but should be inspected periodically for physical damage or cable wear.
