Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What happens if the probe is exposed to oil, water, or dust?
The probe is IP68-rated, which means it can withstand full immersion in oil or water under pressure. Just ensure the connector is properly sealed, and avoid physical damage to the probe tip. -
Can this probe be used with other proximitor modules?
Yes, it’s fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor® sensors. -
Is it suitable for submerged applications?
Yes, it’s IP68-rated and can function reliably in submerged or humid environments. -
Does this probe support Keyphasor® applications?
While primarily for vibration, some configurations can be adapted for phase/reference measurements. -
What is the recommended mounting style?
Direct threaded mounting into the machine housing or bracket-mounted for ease of access. -
What material should the target be made of?
Typically, ferromagnetic materials like 4140 steel offer the most accurate results. -
Can I use this probe in hazardous areas?
Yes, certain configurations carry ATEX or CSA certifications for hazardous zones. -
Does the cable length affect signal accuracy?
The system is calibrated based on total cable length (probe + extension); correct pairing ensures accuracy. -
What software is used with this probe?
Bently Nevada’s System 1® and related monitoring platforms support this sensor for real-time data acquisition. -
How often does the probe need replacement?
Under normal use, the probe can last many years. Replace if physically damaged or exposed to extreme wear.
