Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the probe is mounted in a rigid, vibration-free bracket to prevent measurement errors.
• Maintain proper air gap spacing as specified by the system calibration requirements.
• Route signal cables away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to prevent signal noise.
• Use shielded cables and ensure proper grounding of the probe housing to the machine frame.
• Handle the probe tip with care; avoid physical impact or contamination to maintain sensor accuracy.
• Verify that all connections are secure and that the ClickLoc connector is fully seated before system startup.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 330104 probe?

This probe is part of a proximity transducer system used to measure radial vibration, axial position, and shaft speed in rotating machinery such as steam turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series systems?

The 3300 XL 8 mm probe is designed specifically for the 3300 XL system. It is generally not interchangeable with older 3300 (non-XL) components without verifying system compatibility and recalibration.
