- Use shielded cable for field wiring up to 305m.
- Contact us for pressure seal validation before installation.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors. The ClickLoc connector ensures secure connection. It fits standard M10x1 mounting holes.
Typical Applications & Diagnostic Value
- Applications: Monitor radial vibration on turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans.
- Diagnostic Power: Gives early warning of bearing wear and imbalance. Enables predictive maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General & Selection
- What is the main purpose of this probe?
- It measures shaft vibration and position to protect critical machinery from failure.
- How do I choose the correct model suffix?
- Match the suffix to your needs: cable length, connector type, and required agency approvals.
- Can I use this probe in a Div 1 hazardous area?
- No. For Zone 0/Div 1, you must use the ia version with intrinsic safety barriers.
Installation & Operation
- What is the best practice for setting the gap?
- Adjust the probe so the system reads -9 Vdc. This is roughly 1.27 mm from the target.
- Why is my signal weak at high frequencies?
- Long cable runs over 305m can cause signal roll-off. Check system frequency response graphs.
- The environment is below -34°C. Is this a problem?
- Yes. Very low temperatures may damage the pressure seal. Consider the operating limits.
Experience-Based Tips
- From the field: Our probe readings became unstable.
- Check connector integrity and cable shielding. Often, moisture or a loose connection is the cause.
- We need a pressure-tested seal for our application.
- This is not standard. You must contact the custom design department before ordering.
Packaging, Shipping & Warranty
- Packaging: Includes one probe, connector, and documentation.
- Shipping: We ship globally via FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
- Warranty: This product comes with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
