Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the 330104 model indicate?
It identifies a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe with M10 × 1 metric threads and armored cable.
2. What does the "50" option mean?
It specifies a 5.0-meter (16.4 ft) total transducer system length.
3. What connector does this probe use?
Option 02 provides a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc® connector with a standard cable.
4. What does the "RU" suffix represent?
It indicates a region-specific approval or certification option. The exact certification should be confirmed using the product nameplate or the Bently Nevada Approvals Quick Reference Guide.
5. Can this probe operate by itself?
No. It must be used with a compatible 3300 XL Extension Cable and 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor as a complete transducer system.
