FAQ

• Q1: What is the maximum sensing range of this probe?

  A1: The 330104-03-08-10-02-00 probe has a nominal sensing range of 0.25 mm to 2.54 mm, depending on target material.

• Q2: Can this probe be used in high-speed turbine applications?

  A2: Yes, it is designed for high-speed rotating machinery and can reliably measure vibration at speeds up to 60,000 RPM.

• Q3: What is the recommended target surface for accurate measurement?

  A3: A smooth, ferromagnetic metal surface is recommended to achieve optimal eddy current response.

• Q4: How does temperature affect the probe’s output signal?

  A4: The probe maintains linear output within the rated temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), with minimal temperature drift.

• Q5: Is this probe compatible with non-Bently Nevada monitoring systems?

  A5: While primarily designed for 3300 XL systems, it can interface with other eddy current signal conditioners that support similar AC output characteristics.

• Q6: Can the probe be extended with longer cables without signal loss?

  A6: Yes, but care must be taken to use low-capacitance coaxial cable, and total cable length should not exceed 30 meters for optimal signal fidelity.

• Q7: Does the probe support online calibration?

  A7: Yes, the probe can be calibrated in situ using the associated 3300 XL monitoring system.

• Q8: What is the output frequency response of the probe?

  A8: The 3300 XL 8 mm probe supports a frequency response up to 10 kHz for accurate vibration monitoring.

• Q9: Can the probe detect axial and radial shaft movement simultaneously?

  A9: The probe measures displacement along the direction of the probe tip; multiple probes are used for full radial and axial coverage.

• Q10: Is the probe suitable for explosive or hazardous environments?

  A10: Yes, when used with appropriate certified junction boxes and monitoring modules designed for hazardous areas.
