Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What does the “8 mm” in this probe mean?
It refers to the tip diameter of the probe, which determines the target size and measurement range. -
Is the probe suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, it operates safely up to +177°C and stores up to the same temperature range. -
What systems is this probe compatible with?
It is compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series transducer system, including extension cables and Proximitor sensors. -
Can this be used underwater or in high-dust areas?
Yes, the probe is IP68-rated for complete dust protection and prolonged water immersion. -
How is the probe mounted?
It can be installed using a jam nut on the threaded section or with a mounting bracket. -
What target materials are best for accurate measurements?
The probe is calibrated for 4140 steel, the standard material in most machinery. -
What type of signal output does it produce?
It produces a voltage output proportional to the distance from the target, with 200 mV/mil sensitivity. -
Is the cable detachable or fixed?
This probe connects via a standard extension cable to the proximitor sensor, and is not hardwired. -
How long is the probe’s lifecycle?
With proper installation and within environmental limits, it can last for years without degradation. -
Does the probe require recalibration?
Recalibration is not typically required unless the target material changes or drift is observed in readings.
