FAQ

Q1: What is the operating voltage range for this probe?

A1: The probe operates at 24 VDC, standard for 3300 XL systems.

Q2: Can this probe measure non-ferromagnetic materials?

A2: No, it is designed for ferromagnetic targets; non-ferromagnetic materials will not generate accurate readings.

Q3: What is the maximum cable length supported without signal degradation?

A3: The standard cable length is 1m; extensions up to 15 m are possible with proper shielding.

Q4: How does the probe respond to high vibration environments?

A4: It is designed to withstand 20 g vibration up to 2000 Hz without performance degradation.

Q5: Is it possible to replace the probe while the system is running?

A5: No, the system should be powered down before replacing the probe to avoid transient errors.

Q6: What is the maximum sensing gap for reliable measurement?

A6: The probe reliably measures within a 0.25–2.54 mm gap.

Q7: Does the probe provide analog or digital output?

A7: It provides an analog voltage output proportional to shaft displacement.

Q8: Can this probe be used in explosive atmospheres?

A8: It requires certification for hazardous areas; standard 3300 XL probes need intrinsically safe barriers for such environments.

Q9: How precise is the measurement accuracy?

A9: Typical accuracy is ±2 µm over the calibrated gap range.

Q10: What maintenance is required for long-term performance?

A10: Regular inspection of the probe tip and cable integrity is recommended; no calibration is generally needed under normal operation.
