Technical FAQs

1. What does this proximity probe measure?
   It measures shaft displacement and relative vibration by monitoring the gap between the probe tip and a conductive target surface.

2. What sensing technology is used?
   Eddy current non‑contact sensing provides precise, long‑life measurement without mechanical wear.

3. What is the typical gap range?
   Designed to operate reliably within an approximate gap of 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

4. How is the probe installed?
   Mounted near the rotating surface with the integrated cable routed back to a compatible 3300 XL proximitor or conditioning module.

5. Does this probe require calibration?
   Initial setup and alignment with the monitoring hardware are recommended to ensure accurate gap‑to‑signal mapping.

6. Can this probe be used for predictive maintenance?
   Yes, its stable, high‑resolution output supports trend analysis and early fault detection.

7. Is it suitable for harsh environments?
   Yes, it is built for industrial conditions including vibration, temperature swings, and electrical noise.

8. Does it wear over time?
   No — the non‑contact measurement method eliminates wear on the sensing tip.

9. How does it integrate with monitoring systems?
   The probe connects via its integrated cable to a 3300 XL proximitor or conditioning module that prepares the signal for protection and analysis.

10. Why choose this probe over generic displacement sensors?
    It offers industrial‑grade durability, proven performance in critical applications, and seamless integration with established monitoring systems.
