FAQ

Q1: What is the linear measurement range of this probe?

A1: The linear range is 2 mm (80 mils), from approximately 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm from the target.

Q2: Does this probe comply with API 670 standards?

A2: Yes, it fully meets the mechanical, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability requirements of API 670.

Q3: Can it be used for both vibration and position measurements?

A3: Yes, it is designed to measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) parameters.

Q4: Is the probe suitable for high-temperature applications?

A4: The standard probe operates up to +177°C. For higher temperatures, extended temperature range (ETR) variants are available.

Q5: Are ClickLoc connectors field-replaceable?

A5: No special tools are needed, but proper handling is recommended to maintain integrity.

Q6: Can the probe be mounted on small-diameter shafts?

A6: It is recommended for shafts ≥76.2 mm (3 in) to maintain scale factor and minimize cross-talk.

Q7: Is the probe interchangeable with older 3300 series components?

A7: Yes, it is backward compatible and interchangeable with non-XL 3300 8 mm and 5 mm components.

Q8: What is the advantage of the armored cable?

A8: The armor provides mechanical protection and improved durability in harsh environments.

Q9: Does the probe need calibration for different target materials?

A9: By default, it is calibrated for AISI 4140 steel; other calibrations are available upon request.

Q10: What is the minimum target size the probe can measure?

A10: The minimum recommended target diameter is 15.2 mm (0.6 in).
