Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What kind of machinery is typically monitored using the 330180-90-01 Proximitor Sensor?
This sensor is most often installed on high-speed rotating equipment such as steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, and large electric motors where shaft vibration and displacement monitoring is critical for operational integrity.
2. Does the 3300 XL system require recalibration after replacing individual components?
No. The 3300 XL series is designed for modular use. As long as the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor are from the same system family, they are factory-calibrated to work together without the need for recalibration in the field.
3. How is the Proximitor sensor mounted in an enclosure?
It can be either panel-mounted using standard screws or DIN-rail mounted depending on the cabinet or enclosure design. DIN-rail mounting is particularly useful for compact, modular control panel installations.
4. Is it possible to extend the cable length beyond 9 meters?
The system supports cable lengths from 0.5 to 9 meters with specific part numbers assigned for each length. Custom lengths outside of this range are not recommended due to signal integrity and calibration issues.
5. What’s the difference between the 5mm and 8mm probe systems from Bently Nevada?
The 8mm system offers a larger linear sensing range and is generally better suited for heavy-duty industrial applications. The 5mm version is typically used where space is limited and a smaller footprint is needed.
6. How is this sensor affected by high-frequency electromagnetic interference?
The 3300 XL Proximitor sensor features enhanced shielding and filtering circuits designed to meet rigorous CE and API 670 standards. It remains reliable even in cabinets containing VFDs or near radio transmission equipment.
7. Can I use this Proximitor sensor in hazardous or classified areas?
The base 3300 XL system is not intrinsically safe by default. However, it can be installed in hazardous locations if used in conjunction with appropriate intrinsic safety barriers or galvanic isolators as per certification requirements.
8. What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 3300 XL proximity system?
Generally, no routine maintenance is needed. However, it’s good practice to visually inspect connections and verify readings during annual machine shutdowns or overhauls.
9. Does this system support integration with a DCS or SCADA system?
Yes, the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor outputs an analog voltage signal proportional to shaft displacement. This can be easily interfaced with most PLC, DCS, or condition monitoring systems via standard analog input modules.
10. What materials are used for the probe and cable to ensure industrial-grade durability?
The probe is made from stainless steel with a hermetically sealed ceramic tip, and the cable is constructed using Teflon-insulated wiring with braided shielding and optional armor for protection in harsh environments.
