Hardware Specifications

Eddy‑Current Probe Scaling and Rotor‑Dynamic Signal Stability

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe system maintains a calibrated −10 VDC gap‑voltage target, enabling linear displacement scaling across the proximitor’s measurement range. The 1.5 m system length is factory‑matched to preserve coaxial impedance, reducing phase distortion during high‑speed rotor‑dynamic analysis. ClickLoc termination ensures repeatable electrical seating, suppressing cross‑talk in multi‑channel installations. The probe’s eddy‑current field geometry supports stable sensitivity even when mounted near high‑temperature or high‑vibration machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the probe cable be disconnected while the proximitor remains energized? A: The channel should be de‑energized before removal to prevent transient gap‑voltage excursions.

Q: Does the 1.5 m system length require recalibration? A: No. The length is factory‑matched to standard 3300 XL proximitor modules.

Q: Do hazardous approvals affect electrical performance? A: No. Approvals relate to compliance only; electrical characteristics remain unchanged.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Maintain clean mounting surfaces to ensure stable mechanical seating and consistent eddy‑current field alignment.
• Terminate cable shielding at the proximitor end only to avoid ground‑loop formation.
• Avoid sharp bends to preserve coaxial impedance and minimize signal distortion.
• Route probe wiring away from high‑current conductors to reduce electromagnetic interference.
• Verify ClickLoc connector engagement before energizing the monitoring channel.
