Installation Instructions

1. Preparation
   Ensure that the mounting location is clean and free of oil, dust, or debris. Confirm that the mounting hole thread matches the probe’s 3/8-24 UNF specification.

2. Mounting the Probe
   Thread the probe into the mounting port. Use a torque wrench to tighten it to the recommended specification (typically 2.3 Nm or 20 in-lbs). Avoid over-tightening.

3. Routing the Cable
   Route the armor cable carefully to avoid sharp bends or abrasion. Use cable ties and clips to secure the cable.

4. Connecting the Extension Cable
   Connect the probe to the extension cable using the miniature coaxial connectors. Ensure connectors are clean and fully seated.

5. Connecting to the Proximitor Sensor
   Attach the extension cable to the proximitor sensor. Double-check connector orientation and lock mechanism if present.

6. System Testing and Calibration
   Power on the system, verify signal integrity, and perform a calibration check using standard procedures or OEM tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the part number 330101-00-30-10-02-00 represent?
A1: It indicates a 3300 XL proximity probe with a 30-inch length, 10 ft armored cable, and standard connector configurations for typical proximitor sensor systems.

Q2: Can this probe be used in high-temperature environments?
A2: Yes, the operating temperature range of -35°C to +177°C makes it suitable for most high-temperature industrial applications.

Q3: How do I know if my probe is properly calibrated?
A3: Proper calibration can be confirmed through a proximitor sensor calibration procedure using a micrometer and verifying the linearity across the measurement range.

Q4: Is this probe compatible with older 3300 series systems?
A4: Yes, the 3300 XL series is backward compatible with legacy 3300 series systems, though performance is optimized with XL Proximitor sensors.

Q5: What happens if the cable length is modified?
A5: Cable length affects signal integrity and system calibration. Always use the factory-assembled cable lengths or recalibrate if modified.

Q6: How often should the probe be inspected or replaced?
A6: Routine inspection every 6 to 12 months is recommended. Replacement may be necessary if signal drift, physical damage, or connector wear is detected.
