Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 330102‑10‑45‑10‑02‑05 be hot‑swapped? A: No. Probes must be disconnected only when the system is de‑energized to preserve calibration integrity.

Q: How does API 670 compliance benefit users? A: It guarantees mechanical configuration and electrical stability, ensuring compatibility with industry‑standard monitoring systems.

Q: What applications are typical? A: Radial vibration, axial thrust position, and Keyphasor reference measurements on turbines, compressors, and other fluid‑film bearing machines.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Do not cut or modify the armored probe cable; factory termination preserves calibration.
• Maintain proper bend radius to avoid altering coaxial geometry.
• Route cables away from high‑frequency switching conductors to reduce induced noise.
• Ensure ClickLoc connector is fully seated before energizing the system.
• Confirm installation practices comply with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous‑area standards.
