FAQ

Q1: What is the recommended excitation voltage for the 3300 XL proximity probe?

A1: The probe is designed to operate with a maximum excitation voltage of 24 V DC.

Q2: Can this probe operate in high-vibration environments?

A2: Yes, it can tolerate vibrations up to 100 g without performance degradation.

Q3: What is the frequency response range of the probe?

A3: The frequency response extends from DC up to 12 kHz, suitable for high-speed machinery monitoring.

Q4: Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series monitoring systems?

A4: It is specifically designed for the 3300 XL series, but may require interface verification for older 3300 modules.

Q5: Can this probe be used outdoors or in extreme temperatures?

A5: Yes, it operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 121°C (-40°F to 250°F).

Q6: How is the probe connected to the monitoring system?

A6: The probe uses a shielded coaxial cable with a Microdot or custom connector, depending on system configuration.

Q7: What is the sensor tip material and why is it chosen?

A7: The tip is made of stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance in industrial environments.

Q8: How precise is the probe in measuring shaft displacement?

A8: The probe provides high-resolution measurements, with accuracy suitable for detecting small machinery misalignments or vibration patterns.

Q9: Can the 5 m cable length be extended further?

A9: Custom cable extensions are possible but should maintain proper shielding to prevent signal loss or interference.

Q10: Is this probe suitable for explosive or hazardous areas?

A10: It depends on the certification. Standard 3300 XL probes are not intrinsically safe; certified variants must be selected for hazardous locations.
