Functional Description
This probe employs eddy‑current transducer technology to deliver a proportional voltage output relative to shaft displacement. Its short case length (1.5 in) makes it ideal for installations with limited clearance. Hazardous‑area approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) ensure compliance for use in explosive or high‑risk industrial zones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 330101‑00‑15‑05‑02‑05 be hot‑swapped? A: No. Probes must be disconnected only when the system is de‑energized to preserve calibration integrity.
Q: Is it interchangeable with other 3300 XL probes? A: Yes. It is fully compatible with standard 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors without requiring bench recalibration.
Q: What applications are typical? A: Radial vibration, axial thrust position, and Keyphasor reference measurements on turbomachinery.
Field Installation Guidelines
Do not cut or modify the 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.
