FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the linear range of this probe?
2 mm (80 mils). It starts at 0.25 mm from target and goes to 2.3 mm.
Can I use this probe in cold environments below -30°F?
Yes, but exposing below -34°C (-30°F) may damage the pressure seal.
What cable length works best with this sensor?
Keep total field wiring under 305 meters (1000 feet) to avoid high frequency signal loss.
How do I know if my probe is damaged?
Measure DC resistance between center and outer conductor. 1.0 meter probe should show 7.59 Ω ±0.50.
Does this probe need pressure testing before use?
Not normally. Contact Bently Nevada custom design if your application requires a tested pressure seal.
What thread size does this probe use?
3/8-24 UNF with armor. Maximum thread engagement is 0.563 inches.
Can I install this probe in a hazardous area?
Yes. It has ia and nA/ec certifications for Zone 0, Zone 2, and Division 1/2 areas.
Which proximitor sensor works with this probe?
3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. Keep distance within 305 meters.
What is the typical gap voltage for vibration measurement?
-9 Vdc. That equals about 1.27 mm (50 mils) from target.
Does the probe tip resist humidity?
Yes. Less than 3% scale factor change after 56 days at 93% humidity.
Selection Guide
How to choose the right 3300 XL probe
- Check your shaft diameter – 8 mm probe fits most standard shafts
- For larger shafts or metric threads, consider 11 mm probes
- Pick unthreaded length (00 = 0.3 inch here) based on mounting gap
- Select total length (10 = 1.0 meter) to reach your junction box
- Verify temperature range – standard or extended
- Confirm hazardous area rating (ia or nA/ec) with your site requirements
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not exceed 0.563 inch thread engagement
- Avoid bending the probe cable sharply near the connector
- Do not use unshielded field wiring beyond 1 meter
Real-world experience tip
Users often set gap voltage to -10 Vdc for extra margin in high vibration applications. Test with a calibrated target first.
