FAQ

1. What is the linear range of 330103-12-16-10-02-05?

The linear range is 2 mm, starting at 0.25 mm from target. Output voltage spans -1 to -17 Vdc across this range.

2. What does the 120 mm unthreaded length allow?

The 120 mm unthreaded section lets the probe pass through thick housings or insulation before threads engage. This helps when mounting through heavy machine walls in hazardous areas.

3. What is the benefit of 160 mm case length?

The 160 mm case provides an extended rigid section for deep mounting applications. Combined with 120 mm unthreaded, this probe handles complex installations requiring both clearance and depth.

4. Is this probe approved for hazardous areas?

Yes, with option code 05, this probe carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. It suits Zone 0 installations with proper barriers.

5. When should I choose this probe configuration?

Select this probe when you need both long unthreaded clearance and deep rigid insertion in hazardous locations. Ideal for machines with thick insulation or double housings requiring ATEX certification.
