FAQ
Q1: What is the linear measurement range of this probe?
A1: The linear range is 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils).
Q2: Does this model comply with API 670?
A2: Yes, it fully meets API 670 requirements for configuration, accuracy, and stability.
Q3: Can it operate in high-temperature environments?
A3: Yes, standard up to 177°C, and with the ETR option up to 218°C at the probe tip.
Q4: Is it backward compatible with older 3300 systems?
A4: Yes, it is fully backward compatible and interchangeable with 3300 5 mm and 8 mm systems.
Q5: What is the minimum recommended shaft diameter?
A5: Recommended minimum shaft diameter is 76.2 mm for optimal accuracy.
Q6: Does it require calibration to specific materials?
A6: It is factory calibrated to AISI 4140 steel; other materials require recalibration.
Q7: How does the ClickLoc connector improve installation?
A7: It provides secure, finger-tight installation with audible feedback, eliminating over/under-tightening.
Q8: Can I use this probe in high-vibration environments?
A8: Yes, the robust mechanical design and secure connections ensure reliable operation under vibration.
Q9: Is there a risk of leakage through the cable?
A9: Standard cables can allow leakage; the FluidLoc option prevents fluid ingress.
Q10: What is the output sensitivity of the system?
A10: Approximately 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% over the linear range.
