Compact Design with Integrated Signal Conditioning
The transmitter accepts vibration signals from a compatible 3300 NSv proximity probe, converts them into engineering units, and outputs a standard 4–20 mA signal for continuous machinery protection. Integrated Proximitor® electronics eliminate the need for an external signal conditioner, reducing cabinet space and wiring complexity.
A dedicated dynamic output is also available for waveform analysis, probe gap verification, and maintenance diagnostics without interrupting the process signal.
