It is used primarily for vibration and position measurements in fluid-film bearing machines, and also supports Keyphasor and speed measurements.

Does this model meet API 670 standards?
Yes, the standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system fully complies with the API 670 mechanical configuration, accuracy, linear range, and temperature stability standards.

Is the 330101 probe compatible with non-XL systems?
Yes, it is electrically and physically interchangeable with non-XL 3300 5 mm and 8 mm systems, though performance is limited by the lowest-spec component.
