Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between 3300 5mm probes and standard 3300 NSv probes?
  The 3300 5mm probe series features a 5mm tip diameter and triaxial cable design. Model 330171-00-16-05-02-05 offers enhanced magnetic field immunity compared to standard probes.
• What applications suit the 0.5-meter cable length?
  This shorter cable works well when the proximity system mounts close to the measurement point, reducing cable management needs in compact installations.
• What torque specifications apply to 1/4-28 threaded probes?
  Use 5.1 N•m (45 in•lb) recommended torque. Maximum torque is 7.3 N•m (65 in•lb) to prevent thread damage. A #3 or larger tap drill is recommended for mounting hole preparation.
• What is the operating temperature range for this probe?
  The probe operates from -35°C to +177°C (-31°F to +351°F). Sustained exposure below -34°C may cause premature pressure seal failure.
• What does the multiple approvals option include?
  Agency approval option 05 provides certifications for hazardous area installations. Consult Bently Nevada documentation for specific approval details.
