FAQ

Q1: What is the sensitivity of the 3300 XL 8 mm probe when paired with a matching Proximitor®?

A1: The sensitivity is typically 7.87 mV/μm (200 mV/mil), ensuring accurate vibration measurement.

Q2: Can this probe be used interchangeably with older 7200 series probes?

A2: Yes, the 3300 XL probes are backward-compatible with most 7200 series applications, but performance should be validated in critical systems.

Q3: What is the maximum cable length supported in a complete transducer system?

A3: Up to 9 meters (probe + extension cable) is supported without loss of accuracy when paired with a Proximitor®.

Q4: Does the probe support axial position monitoring in addition to radial vibration?

A4: Yes, it can measure both shaft radial vibration and axial position depending on installation.

Q5: How does the probe ensure immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)?

A5: The probe uses a shielded coaxial cable and grounded stainless steel body to minimize EMI effects.

Q6: What is the linear measurement range of this probe?

A6: The typical linear range is 2 mm (80 mils). Beyond this range, measurements become non-linear.

Q7: What frequency response can be expected?

A7: The probe provides a flat frequency response from DC up to 10 kHz, suitable for most rotating machinery.

Q8: Is recalibration required during its service life?

A8: Routine recalibration is generally not required, as the probe is factory-calibrated. However, system verification during major overhauls is recommended.

Q9: Can the probe operate in high-temperature environments above 150 °C?

A9: Yes, it is designed to work up to +177 °C, making it suitable for turbines and compressors.

Q10: What type of output signal is produced by the system?

A10: The probe system produces a voltage signal proportional to shaft displacement, typically in mV/μm.
