Hardware Specifications

Eddy-Current Probe Scaling & Calibration

The 330103-00-06-10-02-CN operates via eddy-current probe scaling to generate a precise output voltage directly proportional to the gap distance over a 2.0 mm linear window. Standard loop installation demands validation of the gap voltage, targeting a baseline of -10 VDC at the center of the calibrated displacement band. This precise targeting isolates true machine rotor dynamics and prevents mechanical over-travel damage. Built-in system compatibility across the 3300 XL 8 mm platform enables complete component interchangeability, rendering manual bench calibration obsolete. To preserve system cross-talk suppression, all field cabling must maintain structured physical separation from surrounding industrial power conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the -CN suffix alter the electrical interchangeability of the 3300 XL probe?

A: No. The 330103-00-06-10-02-CN maintains full electrical and physical interchangeability with standard 3300 XL 8 mm probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors without matching or calibration.

Q: Can this 1.0-meter probe be directly connected to a Proximitor sensor?

A: No. A standard 5-meter or 9-meter total system length must be maintained by matching the probe with the appropriate 3300 XL extension cable before connecting to the corresponding Proximitor sensor.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Connector Engagement: Ensure the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector is fully locked into position. Apply self-fusing silicone tape across the junction to insulate the loop from structural machinery grounding paths.
• Mechanical Gap Position: Rotate the probe within the threaded mounting port until an online voltmeter connected to the Proximitor sensor reads a static gap voltage of -10 VDC (+/-0.5 VDC), confirming correct installation at the linear midpoint.
• Conduit Isolation: Route all probe leads inside dedicated, grounded steel conduits. Keep signal wiring separate from switching control circuits and high-voltage motor conductors to prevent inductive crosstalk from corrupting vibration readings.
