Key Features & Functional Overview
• API 670 Compliance: The 3300 System is designed to fully meet the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute's API 670 standard for such systems, providing continuous, online monitoring suitable for machinery protection applications
• Complete Interchangeability: The 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need to match or bench calibrate individual components
. The non-XL sensor and XL sensor are electrically and mechanically interchangeable -
• Enhanced EMI/RFI Immunity: The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is highly immune to radio frequency interference, allowing installation in fiberglass housings without adverse effects from nearby radio frequency signals. This immunity satisfies European CE mark approvals without requiring special shielded conduit or metallic housings, resulting in lower installation costs and complexity -
• Versatile Mounting: This specific model features a DIN rail mount configuration, allowing high-density installation in control cabinets. The mounting base provides electrical isolation and eliminates the need for separate isolator plates
. The sensor can also be mounted in a classic panel mount configuration, sharing an identical 4-hole mounting "footprint" with older Proximitor sensor designs
• SpringLoc Terminal Strips: The 3300 XL's SpringLoc terminal strips require no special installation tools and facilitate faster, more robust field wiring connections by eliminating screw-type clamping mechanisms that can loosen -
System Architecture
The 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System consists of three integral components
1. One 3300 XL 8 mm probe
2. One 3300 XL extension cable
3. One 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor (330180-51-05)
The system provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface and can measure both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) values
Primary Applications
The system's primary applications are -
• Radial Vibration Monitoring on fluid-film bearing machines
• Axial (Thrust) Position Monitoring to detect thrust bearing wear
• Keyphasor® Reference and speed measurements
• Shaft displacement and differential expansion measurements
Industry Applications
The 3300 System is designed for continuous, permanent monitoring of rotating and reciprocating machinery in a wide range of industries -
