FAQ

Q1: Is this probe compatible with other Bently Nevada systems?

Yes, the 3300 XL 8 mm probes are designed for full interchangeability with other 3300 XL series components, including extension cables and Proximitor sensors, without the need for individual component matching or bench calibration.

Q2: What are the primary applications of this probe?

The probe is primarily used for:

Vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines.

Keyphasor reference and speed measurements.

Q3: What is the operating voltage requirement?

The system requires a power supply of -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc without barriers, and -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc with barriers, with a maximum consumption of 12 mA. Operating at a more positive voltage than -23.5 Vdc can result in reduced linear range. 

Q4: What is the protection rating of the probe?

The probe has an IP67 rating, indicating it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
