Q: What is the calibrated sensitivity of the 330102‑00‑80‑10‑02‑00 probe?
A: The probe‑driver system is calibrated to 200 mV per millimetre of shaft displacement.
-
Q: Can the probe operate in oil‑flooded bearing housings?
A: Yes. Its hermetically sealed design and IP67 rating ensure reliable operation when immersed in lubricant splash or mist.
-
Q: What Proximitor driver do I need?
A: Use a standard 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor driver (e.g., P/N 3300 XL‑NSv). The driver and probe must be field‑matched.
-
Q: Is a 1 m probe long enough for large compressors?
A: If the instrumentation location requires more reach, simply add a 3300 XL extension cable (5 m or 9 m) without affecting calibration.
-
Q: How often should the probe gap be checked?
A: Verify gap voltage during each major outage or when vibration trends change unexpectedly. No routine recalibration is needed.
-
Q: What target materials are compatible?
A: Any conductive metal (steel, Inconel, Monel). Non‑metallic or coated targets reduce signal quality.
-
Q: Can I bend the integral cable?
A: Minimum bend radius is 25 mm. Avoid repeated flexing near the probe head to maintain seal integrity.
-
Q: Does high EMI affect the reading?
A: The triaxial‑shield cable and driver input filtering provide excellent immunity; follow recommended grounding practices.
-
Q: What happens if the probe is submerged?
A: The IP67 seal prevents ingress; however, ensure connector backshells are also sealed to maintain system integrity.
-
Q: Is the probe compatible with legacy 7200 systems?
A: Yes, the 3300 XL family was designed as a direct replacement with identical electrical characteristics.
