• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal servicing due to robust design.

FAQ

1. What is the sensing principle of the 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Probe?
   The probe operates using an eddy current-based proximity measurement method, detecting shaft displacement without physical contact.

2. What type of output signal does the probe generate?
   It provides an AC voltage output compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring system for accurate vibration and position measurement.

3. What is the recommended target-to-probe gap for installation?
   The typical installation gap ranges from 0.25 mm to 1.5 mm, depending on the machinery and monitoring system specifications.

4. Can the probe be used in explosive or hazardous environments?
   Yes, the probe can be used with appropriate intrinsically safe barriers or explosion-proof systems as defined by industrial safety standards.

5. How does temperature affect measurement accuracy?
   The probe maintains high accuracy across the operating range of -40°C to 120°C, with calibration compensating for temperature-related variations.

6. Is the probe compatible with older 3300 series monitors?
   The probe is primarily designed for the 3300 XL series. Backward compatibility may require interface modules or specific adjustments.

7. What is the frequency response of the probe?
   It has a frequency response suitable for high-speed rotating machinery, typically from 0 Hz up to 10 kHz.

8. Can this probe measure both radial and axial vibration?
   It is designed mainly for radial displacement measurement. Axial vibration detection requires alternative mounting or additional sensors.

9. How resistant is the probe to mechanical shock?
   The probe can withstand shocks up to 100 g for 11 ms without affecting its measurement performance.

10. Can the probe operate reliably in high humidity or wet environments?
    Yes, the probe’s IP67 rating ensures protection against water and dust ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
