FAQ

1. What differentiates this model from other 3300 XL proximity probes?

   The “05” at the end of the part number denotes a 90-degree angled boot connector, which is useful in tight installation spaces.

2. What length of extension cable is supported?

   It supports Bently Nevada extension cables up to 9 meters when used with a matching Proximitor®.

3. Can this be used with all Proximitor® modules?

   It is specifically compatible with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor module.

4. Is this probe suitable for hazardous area installations?

   When paired with appropriate barriers and modules, it can be used in Class I, Div 2 or Zone 2 areas.

5. How do I ensure proper calibration?

   Factory-calibrated for AISI 4140 steel targets; use recommended calibration curves for other materials.

6. Is it possible to replace the cable independently?

   No, the cable is integral; the entire probe must be replaced if damaged.

7. How is this different from reverse-mount probes?

   This is a forward-mount probe intended to be installed with the tip facing the shaft.

8. Does the angled connector affect signal performance?

   Not at all. It’s designed for routing convenience with no impact on signal integrity.

9. Can it withstand vibration over long periods?

   Yes, the probe and connector are vibration-resistant and qualified for continuous-duty environments.

10. What kind of signal output does it provide?

    The probe provides a linear voltage output in proportion to the shaft-to-probe distance.
