Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Ensure the probe is mounted in a stable, vibration-resistant bracket. The 3300 XL design fits standard 4-hole mounting patterns.
• Gap Voltage: For optimal performance, calibrate the system to a gap voltage between -9 V and -11 V DC.
• Cable Routing: Use shielded coaxial cabling and maintain a minimum permissible bend radius to prevent signal degradation or cable damage.
• Environmental Protection: The probe tip utilizes a Viton O-ring to maintain a pressure seal; ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris during installation.
• Handling: As a precision sensor, handle the probe tip with care to avoid mechanical impact or surface scratches that could affect linearity.
