Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the maximum cable length for this probe?
  • This version has 9.0 meters (29.5 feet). Perfect for remote monitoring.
• What does “Multiple Approvals” mean?
  • Agency approval option 05 certifies the probe for hazardous locations. Check local codes.
• Can I cut the 9m cable to a shorter length?
  • No. Cutting changes impedance and calibration. Order correct length from start.
• How to choose between 330172 (5mm) and 330191 (8mm)?
  • 5mm for smaller targets and tighter spaces. 8mm for larger gaps and heavy duty. See comparison below.
