Hardware Specifications

Mechanical Monitoring & TSI Integration

The 3300 XL 8 mm system utilizes high-frequency modulation for precise eddy-current probe scaling, allowing for accurate displacement capture on fluid-film bearing surfaces. During installation, gap voltage validation to the -10 VDC baseline is required to maintain the specified linear operating range. The system architecture supports rotor dynamics monitoring by providing simultaneous static and dynamic outputs. In multi-probe arrays, inherent cross-talk suppression is managed through consistent cable shielding and high-performance connector impedance matching, ensuring signal fidelity for Keyphasor and speed measurement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 3300 XL 8 mm system interchangeable with older 3300 series components?

A: Yes. The 3300 XL components are backward compatible with standard 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer components, allowing for partial system upgrades without requiring re-calibration of individual matched sets.

Q: Does this probe meet the API 670 Standard?

A: Yes. The 3300 XL 8 mm transducer system is designed to comply with API 670 mechanical configuration, accuracy, linear range, and temperature stability requirements.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Reverse Mounting: The 330106 probe is designed for through-panel mounting. Ensure the mounting bracket provides adequate rigidity to prevent measurement errors due to bracket deflection under load.
• Cable Handling: Utilize the ClickLoc connector system to ensure a secure, low-impedance signal path. Avoid sharp bends in the coaxial cable to prevent changes in characteristic impedance.
• Signal Integrity: Keep probe leads separated from high-voltage AC cabling to minimize potential EMI/RFI interference.
• Gap Setting: Perform final gap adjustments using a calibrated micrometer or the associated monitor's gap voltage display to ensure the target is within the linear measurement window.
