Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can this probe be used with any proximity monitoring system?
   No. It is designed specifically for use with Bently Nevada 7200 Series systems for accurate calibration.

2. What makes it compatible with 8 mm configurations?
   The probe design allows the use of tips in diameters, enabling fit in varied installation conditions.

3. What type of materials can it measure accurately?
   It is factory-calibrated for ferromagnetic materials such as AISI 4140 steel.

4. Is this probe suitable for high-vibration applications?
   Yes. It can tolerate peak vibrations up to 20 g, making it ideal for turbines and compressors.

5. Can the probe cable length be modified after purchase?
   No. Modifying cable length alters system calibration and is not recommended.

6. Is recalibration necessary during equipment servicing?
   Recalibration is advised during major overhauls or every 3–5 years.

7. What is the expected lifespan of the probe?
   With proper installation, it can operate effectively for over 5–10 years without degradation.

8. How is the probe sealed against contaminants?
   It comes with sealed connectors and an IP65-rated body to withstand industrial environments.

9. Does it support hazardous area certification?
   This model does not come with ATEX/IECEx certification. Check explosion-proof variants if needed.

10. Is there a temperature limitation for continuous use?
    Yes, it should be used within the -35°C to +120°C operating range for optimal accuracy.
