Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "50" option indicate?
It specifies a 5.0-meter (16.4-foot) total transducer system length.
2. What is the difference between the "CN" and "00" approval options?
The CN version includes ATEX, IECEx, and Chinese NEPSI hazardous-area approvals, while 00 indicates no special hazardous-area approval.
3. Which connector does this probe use?
It uses the Miniature ClickLoc® coaxial connector with a standard cable (Option 02).
4. Can this probe be used by itself?
No. It must be used with the matching 3300 XL extension cable and 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor of the same system length to ensure proper calibration.
5. What measurements can this probe perform?
It is designed for shaft vibration, radial position, axial position, eccentricity, Keyphasor® reference, and rotational speed measurements.
6. Is this model suitable for hazardous locations?
Yes. The CN option provides hazardous-area approvals for installations requiring ATEX, IECEx, and Chinese NEPSI certification.
