Thread the 4.1-inch armored probe body into the mounting port and monitor the DC gap voltage at the corresponding 3300 XL Proximitor sensor test terminals. Adjust the depth until the meter registers approximately -10.0 VDC, which corresponds to the precise center of the 2.0 mm linear calibration envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain a strict minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) across the armored coaxial cable to eliminate risk of kinking the inner core or modifying the calibrated impedance. Route the flexible stainless steel armor lines through isolated instrument trays to eliminate electromagnetic crosstalk from adjacent high-voltage lines. Instrumentation specialists must verify that the installed extension cable combines with this 1.5-meter probe to achieve the exact 5.0-meter or 9.0-meter total loop length dictated by the specific Proximitor model in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSevere-Environment Survivability \u0026amp; System Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-performance design of the 3300 XL probe utilizes a specialized polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip material that forms an airtight, chemically inert seal over the internal copper winding.

This extended length allows installation technicians to route the coaxial connection outside complex bearing housings or steam seals without requiring an immediate extension cable connection in narrow, oil-slick spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: Can this 3300 XL probe be connected directly to an older 7200 series Proximitor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2: No. The 3300 XL series uses a different drive frequency and coil geometry compared to the legacy 7200 series hardware. Intermixing these components alters the eddy current field mechanics, causing severe scale factor errors and disabling the machinery protection loop. Always pair this probe with a matching 3300 XL Proximitor module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: What failure mechanism does a constant -24 VDC output from the Proximitor indicate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA3: A constant -24 VDC saturation signal indicates an open-circuit fault within the probe loop. Inspect the miniature ClickLoc connection between the probe lead and the extension cable for a loose coupling, internal moisture, or physical core damage. Test the continuity of the entire cable run with a multimeter to locate the break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Does the stainless steel armor eliminate the need for an external junction box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA4: The stainless steel armor (-12 option) provides excellent protection against physical impact and fluid abrasion along open machine runs, but it does not seal electrical terminals. You must still terminate the probe-to-extension-cable ClickLoc junction inside a clean, grounded, weatherproof terminal box to preserve signal integrity and maintain the IP68\/hazardous area certification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bently Nevada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45518868578477,"sku":"330101-00-41-15-12-05","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/1613\/9181\/files\/bently-nevada-330101-00-41-15-12-05-3300-xl-8-mm-proximity-probes-p3sbodx5brv.jpg?v=1766980601","url":"https:\/\/www.maxwellplc.com\/products\/bently-nevada-330101-00-41-15-12-05-3300-xl-8mm-proximity-transducer-probe","provider":"Maxwell PLC Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
