Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is included with the fittings option 03?
  A: Option 03 includes two plugs, one 3/4-14 NPT fitting, one 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT stainless steel reducer, and a cable seal grip with three interchangeable grommets for cable sizes from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch.
• Q: Is the probe already installed in this housing?
  A: Yes. Option 28 means the 3300 XL 8mm probe is included and factory installed. The probe has multiple approvals (CSA/ATEX/IECEx) for hazardous locations.
• Q: What is the probe cable length?
  A: The probe has a 0.5 meter (20 inch) cable. This short cable is ideal when the proximitor mounts very close to the housing. Extension cables can be added if needed.
• Q: What is the IP66 rating good for?
  A: IP66 means completely dust tight and protected against powerful water jets. Suitable for outdoor washdown environments, marine applications, and dusty industrial areas.
• Q: Can this housing withstand internal pressure?
  A: No. The plastic housing is certified for NEMA 4X and IP66 (external water protection) but is not designed to resist internal or external pressure. For pressurized applications, contact Bently Nevada about custom designs.
