FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Q&A)

Q1: What’s the primary role of this probe?
A1: It measures vibration and shaft position using eddy-current detection in cramped mounting areas.

Q2: Is it backward-compatible with older systems?
A2: Yes—compatible with standard 3300 probes and 5 mm variants, supporting mix-and-match ease.

Q3: How secure is the connector?
A3: Features ClickLoc technology—locks by finger torque, resilient and corrosion-resistant.

Q4: Can it handle high temperatures?
A4: Yes—store up to +177 °C reliably; high-temp versions extend performance further.

Q5: What makes it API-compliant?
A5: Meets API 670 for linear measurement, accuracy, and mechanical stability.

Q6: What are its weight and dimensions?
A6: Roughly 0.323 kg; typical packaging about 2.3 cm × 2.0 cm × 112 cm.

Q7: Does it offer explosion-proof certifications?
A7: Yes—select variants include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.

Q8: Why choose reverse-mount?
A8: Ideal when front mounting is obstructed; reverse on the rear shaft side reduces damage risk.

Q9: Is cabling interchangeable?
A9: Yes—extension cables and sensors share same interface, simplifying spares.

Q10: What industries benefit most?
A10: Turbo-machinery, gas compressors, turbines, and any rotating equipment in confined areas.
