FAQ

What systems are compatible with the 330103-00-15-10-02-00 probe?
This probe works exclusively with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor modules and matched extension cables.

Can this probe measure both vibration and shaft position?
Yes, it measures dynamic vibration and static radial shaft position using the same sensing element.

Is this probe suitable for harsh industrial environments?
Moreover, it performs reliably in high-vibration, oil-contaminated, and continuous-duty industrial conditions.

Does the probe require calibration after installation?
Factory calibration applies to the complete transducer system, therefore field calibration typically remains unnecessary.
