FAQ

Q1: How do I adjust the probe gap?

A1: The recommended gap between the probe tip and the shaft is maintained using standard gap gauges to ensure accurate spacing.

Q2: What materials can the probe be calibrated to?

A2: The standard calibration is to AISI 4140 steel. Calibration to other materials can be performed if required.

Q3: Can the probe be used for overspeed protection applications?

A3: Yes, the 3300 XL system is suitable for tachometer and overspeed protection applications.

Q4: Is the probe compatible with non-XL 3300 series components?

A4: Yes, the 3300 XL 8 mm components are electrically and physically interchangeable with non-XL 3300 series components.

Q5: What is the recommended mounting orientation?

A5: The probe should be mounted perpendicular to the shaft to ensure accurate measurements.

Q6: How do I verify the probe’s functionality?

A6: Use the Keyphasor® pulse output and vibration signal to verify the probe’s operation.

Q7: Can the probe operate in humid environments?

A7: Yes, the probe is designed for humid conditions; however, it should not be exposed to direct water immersion.

Q8: What is the maximum cable length supported?

A8: Cable lengths up to 9 meters are supported, depending on application requirements.

Q9: How do I prevent signal interference during installation?

A9: Ensure proper grounding and shielding of the cable, and avoid routing the cable near high-voltage lines or sources of electromagnetic interference.

Q10: Is recalibration required when replacing the probe?

A10: No, the 3300 XL probes are interchangeable without the need for recalibration.
