FAQs
Q1: What material is the probe casing made of?
A1: The probe case is made of stainless steel (AISI 303 or 304).
Q2: Is the 330104-00-15-10-02-00 compatible with non-XL 3300 systems?
A2: Yes, it is electrically and physically compatible with non-XL 3300 8 mm and 5 mm systems.
Q3: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A3: +177°C for the probe tip; up to +260°C with extended temperature range (ETR) cables.
Q4: Is the connector field-replaceable?
A4: No, it uses factory-molded ClickLoc connectors for enhanced reliability.
Q5: What is the probe’s sealing method?
A5: It uses a Viton O-ring for pressure sealing between the probe tip and casing.
Q6: Can the probe operate in high EMI environments?
A6: Yes, the Proximitor sensor has strong EMI/RFI immunity and CE certification.
Q7: Does this probe support overspeed protection applications?
A7: Yes, when configured correctly with a compatible Proximitor sensor.
Q8: Is there an armored option for harsh conditions?
A8: Yes, this specific model is armored for mechanical protection.
Q9: How is the connection secured?
A9: ClickLoc connectors provide a finger-tight locking mechanism with a tactile “click”.
Q10: What’s the minimum recommended shaft diameter for accurate measurements?
A10: 50.8 mm (2 inches); 76.2 mm (3 inches) is recommended to minimize cross-talk.
