Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is this probe used for?

It is used for continuous monitoring of shaft vibration, shaft position, eccentricity, and rotational reference in critical rotating machinery.

2. What does the "30" option indicate?

It specifies a 3.0-inch unthreaded probe length.

3. What does the "60" option indicate?

It specifies a 6.0-inch overall probe case length.

4. What cable length is supplied?

The 90 option specifies a 9.0-meter (29.5-foot) integral cable.

5. What connector does it use?

The 02 option specifies a Miniature coaxial ClickLoc® connector with a standard cable.

6. What does the "05" approval option mean?

It indicates the probe carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous-area approvals for installation in certified hazardous environments.

7. Which Proximitor® Sensor should be paired with this probe?

This 9-meter probe should be paired with the corresponding 9-meter 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor to maintain proper system calibration and API performance.

8. Is it API 670 compliant?

Yes. When installed as a complete 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, it is designed to meet API 670 requirements.

9. Can it replace another 3300 XL probe?

Yes, provided the replacement matches the required mechanical dimensions, cable length, connector configuration, and overall transducer system length.

10. What are its primary advantages?

It delivers accurate, stable, non-contact shaft motion measurements with excellent interchangeability and long-term reliability, supporting machinery protection and predictive maintenance programs.
