The integrated 0.5m cable must combine with a 4.5m cable to maintain the required 5.0m total system electrical loop tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does the \"00\" at the end of the part number signify?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ending \"00\" indicates standard non-approvals. This model is built for safe, non-hazardous areas where explosion-proof or intrinsically safe certifications are not legally required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the scale factor of this 3300 XL probe system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system produces a standard scale factor of 7.87 V\/mm (200 mV\/mil) when correctly paired with a matching 3300 XL extension cable and Proximitor sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy select the short 0.5-meter cable option (\"50\") for this probe?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe short 0.5m lead is ideal for internal bearing housings. It avoids leaving excess cable coiled inside hot, oil-slick machine casings where it could snag or degrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the minimum bend radius for this unarmored coaxial cable?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch). Kinking the cable past this limit permanently degrades structural impedance, causing severe calibration tracking errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes this metric probe require routine calibration after installation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 3300 XL series features complete factory interchangeability. As long as the total system loop length is maintained, you can swap components without field tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat target material is this proximity probe calibrated against?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is factory-calibrated against AISI 4140 electric steel. Target metals with higher chromium or aluminum content will alter the sensor's scale factor accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use this probe with a 3300 NSv platform Proximitor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 3300 XL 8 mm system operates on a different RF frequency and tuning curve than the NSv series. Mixing the two platforms causes massive measurement drift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bently Nevada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45518847672493,"sku":"330103-00-05-50-02-00","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/1613\/9181\/files\/bently-nevada-330103-00-05-50-02-00-3300-xl-8-mm-proximity-probes-yfmvrvh1zsu.jpg?v=1766980353","url":"https:\/\/www.maxwellplc.com\/products\/330103-00-05-50-02-00-bently-nevada-3300-xl-proximity-probes","provider":"Maxwell PLC Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
