Q2. Which monitoring system is this probe designed for?
It is compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity transducer system.

Q3. What is the cable length of this probe?
The cable length is 2 meters.

Q4. What is the recommended probe gap?
The recommended operating gap is 1.27 mm (50 mil).

Q5. What is the probe diameter and tip material?
The probe diameter is 8 mm, and the tip is stainless steel.

Q6. What temperature range can the probe operate in?
Standard operating temperature is −52°C to +177°C, with optional high-temperature versions up to +218°C.

Q7. What types of machinery typically use this probe?
It is used on turbines, compressors, pumps, fans, motors, and other critical rotating machinery.

Q8. Why use a non-contact probe instead of a contact sensor?
