Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the standard output of this proximity probe?

   The probe provides a standard output of 200 mV/mil, allowing it to convert mechanical vibration or displacement into an electrical signal compatible with monitoring systems.

2. Is this probe compliant with API 670 standards?

   Yes, the 3300 XL 8 mm series, including this model, is designed to comply with API 670, making it suitable for critical machinery protection applications.

3. What does the “CN” in the part number stand for?

   The “CN” indicates that the product is manufactured or configured for the Chinese market, often ensuring compliance with local certifications and product standards.

4. Can this proximity probe be used in high-temperature environments?

   Yes, it is built to withstand temperatures up to +177°C (351°F), making it well-suited for applications such as turbines, compressors, and motors.

5. How long is the cable on this model?

   This model includes a 0.5-meter (approx. 20 inches) cable and uses a Miniature ClickLoc™ connector with protection for reliable connection.

6. Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series extension cables and drivers?

   Yes, the 3300 XL series is designed with backward compatibility in mind, making it usable with previous-generation 3300 systems, assuming proper matching and calibration.

7. Does this model support pressure sealing at the probe tip?

   It is designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and the probe case using a Viton® O-ring, but pressure testing is not standard during manufacturing.

8. Can I install this probe horizontally or vertically?

   Yes, installation orientation (horizontal or vertical) does not affect its performance, as long as mounting guidelines are followed.

9. What kind of material is used for the probe tip and body?

   The probe tip is made from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), and the body is constructed of stainless steel (AISI 303/304), both chosen for durability and resistance to corrosion.

10. What should I avoid when installing this probe?

    Avoid over-tightening the threads, running the cable near high-voltage lines, or bending the cable at sharp angles close to the probe head. These can cause premature failure.
