FAQ – 10 Questions (QA Format)

Q1: What does the code “14” signify in the model number?
A1: It signifies a probe body (case) length of 1.4 inches, providing extra mounting clearance compared to shorter case versions.

Q2: What is the measurement (linear) range of this probe?
A2: The typical linear range is ~0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils) for the 8 mm 3300 XL series, enabling precise shaft displacement monitoring.

Q3: Does this model require special certification for hazardous areas?
A3: Yes—this “05” variant is certified for hazardous areas (CSA/ATEX/IECEx), so it can be used in classified zones.

Q4: What is the standard cable length for this model?
A4: The cable length is 1.0 metre (indicated by “10” in the model code).

Q5: What thread size does this probe use for mounting?
A5: It uses a 3/8‑24 UNF threaded mount, standard for 8 mm 3300 XL probes.

Q6: How heavy is the probe including its cable?
A6: Approximately 0.323 kg is the typical weight of the complete assembly.

Q7: What materials are used for the tip and housing?
A7: The tip is made of PPS plastic; the housing (body) is stainless steel 303/304.

Q8: What is the operating temperature range for this probe?
A8: It is rated for –52 °C to +177 °C, suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Q9: Is the connector type specialized or standard?
A9: It uses the ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector (“02” designator), which is standard in the 3300 XL family for secure and reliable connection.

Q10: Can this probe be used as a direct replacement in existing 3300 XL systems?
A10: Yes—because it shares the same interface, mounting thread and electrical characteristics, it can often replace other 3300 XL probes without major system changes, provided the mounting length (case) is suitable.
