FAQ

Q1: How do I set the correct probe-to-shaft gap?

A1: Use a standardized feeler gauge set to establish the recommended clearance between the tip and shaft during setup.

Q2: Can the probe handle rapid rotational changes?

A2: Yes, the probe maintains accuracy across the rated speed range for 3300 XL series systems.

Q3: Any tips for avoiding signal interference during installation?

A3: Route the cable away from electrical noise sources, ensure proper shielding and grounding, and maintain firm cable connections.

Q4: How do I test probe function after installation?

A4: Use the system’s self-test and verify Keyphasor® pulse and vibration signals for correctness.

Q5: Is the PPS tip compatible with different shaft materials?

A5: Yes, PPS is compatible with all standard target alloys used in the 3300 XL system.

Q6: Is there a quick way to confirm Keyphasor® output accuracy?

A6: Monitor signal timing under stable conditions and compare against known reference pulses.

Q7: Can the cable be extended beyond 5 m if needed?

A7: Longer cables may cause signal attenuation.

Q8: What error patterns suggest probe wear or failure?

A8: Irregular pulses, signal dropouts, or noise spikes typically indicate probe or cable degradation.

Q9: Does replacing the probe require system recalibration?

A9: No—3300 XL probes are designed for plug-and-play replacement without recalibration.

Q10: How do I deal with probe signal issues once installed?

A10: Check the mounting gap, cable integrity, grounding, and avoid route near electromagnetic interference.
