Industry Applications
Its 8 mm diameter provides thicker encapsulation and greater robustness against physical abuse compared to smaller probes. The 1.5-meter cable length suits installations where the Proximitor sensor is mounted nearby, reducing signal degradation.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a pre-drilled hole, ensuring the tip is positioned within the linear range (0.25 to 2.3 mm from the target). Use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc for radial vibration applications. Field wiring should use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable, with a maximum length of 305 meters between the Proximitor sensor and monitor.
Maintenance & Reliability
The 3300 XL probe is designed for long-term reliability. The patented CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to secure the cable. Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage, especially in high-vibration areas. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure.
Compatibility & Integration
The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a secure, quick connection. Approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, making it suitable for hazardous area installations.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement or new probe, verify the thread size and cable length match your application. The 330101-00-43-15-02-05 is a standard 1.5-meter system without armor. For applications requiring oil leak prevention, consider the optional FluidLoc cable. Contact AutoDCSTech for availability and lifecycle status before ordering.
