FAQ

Q1: How does the probe ensure accuracy in high-temperature environments?

A1: The probe uses advanced insulation and thermal-resistant materials that maintain stable output even under elevated temperatures up to 177 °C.

Q2: Can this probe be directly connected to monitoring systems without a proximitor?

A2: No, it must be used with a Bently Nevada proximitor sensor to condition the raw probe signal into a usable monitoring signal.

Q3: What is the effect of cable length on signal accuracy?

A3: Cable length affects system calibration. The specified probe must be matched with its designed extension cable and proximitor for accurate performance.

Q4: Is the probe affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI)?

A4: The probe is shielded to minimize EMI. However, proper grounding and cable routing practices are necessary for optimal performance.

Q5: What frequency range can this probe reliably measure?

A5: It is designed for a usable frequency response up to 10 kHz, covering most industrial vibration monitoring needs.

Q6: Can the probe be used in hazardous or explosive environments?

A6: Yes, certain configurations of the 3300 XL probes are certified for hazardous areas when used with approved proximitor sensors.

Q7: How does this probe handle shaft runout measurements?

A7: The probe provides accurate proximity signals that allow monitoring systems to calculate both vibration and shaft runout values.

Q8: Does the probe require recalibration after installation?

A8: Factory calibration ensures accuracy, but system calibration with the proximitor and extension cable must match the specified configuration.

Q9: What is the insulation resistance specification and why is it important?

A9: The insulation resistance is greater than 10 MΩ, ensuring stable operation and signal integrity even in humid or contaminated environments.

Q10: How does probe orientation affect measurement?

A10: The probe orientation has minimal impact; however, it should be mounted perpendicular to the shaft surface for best accuracy.
