Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the difference between 8 mm and 5 mm probes?The 8 mm probe offers a larger measurement range and is more rugged. For tighter spaces, the 3300 5mm Proximity Probes provide a smaller tip size.
• Can I use this probe with an existing 3300 XL extension cable?Yes. It is fully compatible with 3300 XL extension cables. Ensure the system total length matches the required driver or monitor.
• Is the pressure seal tested before shipping?No. Probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment. If your application requires a test, contact the custom design department.
• What is the maximum temperature at the probe tip?Standard range: +177°C. Extended range tip: up to +218°C. Avoid prolonged exposure below -34°C to protect the pressure seal.
• What approvals does this model carry?CSA, ATEX, IECEx for hazardous areas (option 05). Suitable for Zone 0, Zone 2, Class I, II, III.
• Which extension cable should I select?For most applications, the 330190-085-00-CN is cost-effective. For hazardous areas with approvals, choose the 330190-085-00-05. Verify total system length.
• How do I verify probe health on-site?Measure DC resistance between center and outer conductor. Expected value: 8.17 ± 0.50 Ω for the 3.0 m length.

Selection Guide

• Choose the 8 mm probe when you need robust construction and wide gap range.
• Select case length based on mounting depth; ensure unthreaded length is at least 0.8 in shorter than case length.
• For ambient temperatures above 177°C, confirm extended temperature tip compatibility.
• When operating in hazardous zones, verify the probe and cable both carry required approvals.
• Match total probe + extension cable length to your proximitor system specifications.
