Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the maximum temperature the 3300 XL 8 mm probe can withstand?
The probe can withstand an operating temperature of -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F) under standard conditions. For extended temperature range probes, the maximum temperature is +218°C (+425°F) for the probe tip and +260°C (+500°F) for the cable.

How do I install the connectors for this proximity probe?
The connectors are designed to be finger-tightened. Simply twist the gold-plated connectors until they click into place, ensuring a secure connection. No special tools are required for installation.

Can this proximity probe be used in hazardous areas?
Yes, the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe has certifications for use in hazardous environments, including ATEX/IECEx, and can be installed with intrinsic safety barriers or galvanic isolators in Zone 0 and Zone 2 areas.

What materials are compatible with this proximity probe?
The probe is calibrated by default to AISI 4140 steel. Calibration to other materials can be requested.

What is the maximum cable length that can be used with the 3300 XL 8 mm probe?
The system can support up to 305 meters (1000 feet) of field wiring, depending on the configuration.

What are the mechanical limitations for probe installation?
The probe has a maximum recommended torque of 33.9 N•m (300 in•lbf) for standard forward-mounted probes. Ensure the thread engagement length does not exceed the industry standard to avoid issues during installation.

Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series probes and systems?
Yes, the 3300 XL 8 mm probe and components are backward compatible with non-XL 3300 5 mm and 8 mm probes, ensuring easy integration with older systems.

What is the recommended gap setting for measuring radial vibration?
The recommended gap setting for radial vibration measurements is -9 Vdc, which corresponds to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target.
