Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of the 330101-00-16-10-02-05 probe?
A1: The probe measures shaft position and vibration by generating an AC voltage proportional to the gap between its 8 mm tip and a conductive target.

Q2: What is the total cable length and weight of this probe?
A2: The total cable length is 1.0 meter and the weight is 0.323 kg.

Q3: What operating temperatures can the probe withstand?
A3: It operates reliably from –50 °C up to +120 °C, suitable for most industrial applications.

Q4: Which connector does this probe use?
A4: The probe employs a standard 7/8″-16 UN male connector, ensuring secure attachment to 3300 XL modules.

Q5: What is the typical measuring range of the 8 mm probe tip?
A5: The measuring range spans approximately 0.005 in to 0.125 in (0.13 mm to 3.18 mm).

Q6: Is calibration required after installation?
A6: No, once installed and configured in the 3300 XL rack, field calibration is generally not required.

Q7: Can the 330101-00-16-10-02-05 be used in high-vibration environments?
A7: Yes, its robust design and high shock/vibration resistance (100 g shock, 20 g vibration) make it suitable for severe operating conditions.

Q8: What industries commonly utilize this 8 mm proximity probe?
A8: Industries include power generation (turbines), oil & gas (compressors), petrochemical plants, paper mills, and steel mills.

Q9: How does this probe integrate with condition monitoring software?
A9: When connected to a 3300 XL rack module, real-time data is fed into System 1 or 2300 Series Relay diagnostics software for analysis and alarming.

Q10: Can I order custom cable lengths or tip diameters?
A10: Bently Nevada offers a variety of custom configurations; consult the factory for options beyond the standard 1.0 meter cable and 8 mm tip.
