3300 XL 8 mmProximity Transducer System 330104-00-05-10-02-CN

Description

The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System consists of: o One 3300 XL 8 mm probe, o One 3300 XL extension cable1, and o One 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor2

The system provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface and can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values. The system’s primary applications are vibration and position measurements on fluid-film bearing machines, as well as Keyphasor reference and speed measurements3.

The 3300 XL 8 mm system delivers the most advanced performance in our eddy current proximity transducer systems. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system also fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems provide this level of performance and support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need to match or bench calibrate individual components.

Each 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System component is backward compatible and interchangeable4 with other non XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer system components5. This compatibility includes the 3300 5 mm probe, for applications in which an 8 mm probe is too large for the available mounting space6,7

Proximitor Sensor

The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor incorporates numerous improvements over previous designs. Its physical packaging allows you to use it in high-density DIN-rail installations. You can also mount the sensor in a traditional panel mount configuration, where it shares an identical 4-hole mounting “footprint” with older Proximitor Sensor designs. The mounting base for either option provides electrical isolation and eliminates the need for separate isolator plates. The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is highly immune to radio frequency interference, allowing you to install it in fiberglass housings without adverse effects from nearby radio frequency signals. The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor’s improved RFI/EMI immunity satisfies European CE mark approvals without requiring special shielded conduit or metallic housings, resulting in lower installation costs and complexity.

The 3300 XL’s SpringLoc terminal strips require no special installation tools and facilitate faster, more robust field wiring connections by eliminating screw-type clamping mechanisms that can loosen.

Proximity Probe and Extension Cable

The 3300 XL probe and extension cable also reflect improvements over previous designs. A patented TipLoc molding method provides a more robust bond between the probe tip and the probe body. The probe’s cable incorporates a patented CableLoc design that provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to more securely attach the probe cable and probe tip.

You can also order 3300 XL 8 mm probes and extension cables with an optional FluidLoc cable option. This option prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable’s interior.

Connectors

The 3300 XL probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor have corrosion-resistant, gold-plated ClickLoc connectors. These connectors require only finger-tight torque (theconnectors will "click" when tight), and the specially-engineered locking mechanism prevents the connectors from loosening. These connectors require no special tools for installation or removal.

You can order the 3300 XL 8 mm probes and extension cables with connector protectors already installed. We can also supply connector protectors separately for field installations (such as when an application must run the cable through restrictive conduit). We recommend connector protectors for all installations to provide increased environmental protection8.

Extended Temperature Range Applications

An extended temperature range (ETR) probe and ETR extension cable are available for applications in which either the probe lead or extension cable may exceed the standard 177˚C (350˚F) temperature specification. The ETR probe has an extended temperature rating for up to 218˚C (425˚F). The ETR extension cable rating is up to 260˚C (500˚F). Both the ETR probe and cable are compatible with standard temperature probes and cables, for example, you can utilize an ETR probe with the 330130 extension cable. The ETR system uses the standard 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. Note that when you use any ETR component as part of your system, the ETR component limits the system accuracy to the accuracy of the ETR system.

Description Notes:

 1. One-meter systems do not use an extension cable. 

 2. Proximitor sensors are supplied by default from the factory calibrated to AISI 4140 steel. Calibration to other target materials is available upon request.
