FAQ

Q1: What is the primary function of the 330103-00-14-10-12-05 probe?

A1: It measures shaft vibration and position by converting displacement into a proportional voltage signal.

Q2: How does it differ from the armored 330104 version?

A2: The 330103 is unarmored, while the 330104 includes stainless steel armor for cable protection.

Q3: Is this probe compliant with API 670?

A3: Yes, it meets API 670 (4th Edition) requirements for linear range, accuracy, and mechanical design.

Q4: Can it be mixed with other 3300 XL probes and sensors?

A4: Yes, the probe is fully interchangeable with other 3300 XL system components without recalibration.

Q5: What environments is this probe suitable for?

A5: It is certified for hazardous areas with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.

Q6: How does the FluidLoc cable improve performance?

A6: The FluidLoc design prevents moisture ingress, ensuring measurement stability and reducing failures.

Q7: What is the typical linear range of this probe?

A7: The 8 mm probe typically provides a linear range of up to 2 mm with high accuracy.

Q8: How is the probe installed on machinery?

A8: It uses an M10 × 1 threaded case for mounting, with optional mounting brackets or housings.

Q9: What materials are used in construction?

A9: Stainless steel case (AISI 303/304), PPS tip, and Viton® O-ring sealing.

Q10: Does it require periodic recalibration?

A10: No, when used with compatible Bently Nevada Proximitor® sensors and extension cables, no recalibration is needed.
