Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What approvals does option 05 include?
  A: Multiple Approvals include CSA (North America), ATEX (Europe), and IECEx (international) for global hazardous location use. Suitable for Class I, Zone 0, Zone 2, and Division 2 areas.
• Q: What is a reverse mount probe?
  A: Reverse mount probes install from inside the machine casing outward. Use for thrust position measurement, limited access areas, or when standard outside mounting is not possible.
• Q: What is the resistance at 2.0 meters?
  A: RPROBE is 7.88 ± 0.50 Ohms. Compare to 1.0m probe (7.59 Ohms) and 5.0m probe (8.73 Ohms).
• Q: Can I add extension cable to this 2.0m probe?
  A: Yes. Total system length (probe cable + extension) must match your proximitor calibration. Example: 2.0m probe + 3.0m extension = 5.0m system.
• Q: What is the advantage of ceramic tip for hazardous locations?
  A: Alumina ceramic tip provides excellent wear resistance and dielectric properties. It maintains performance in harsh industrial environments where standard PPS tips may degrade.
