Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

1. Structural Mounting: The 330104-00-08-50-12-00 has a net weight of 0.323 kg. During installation of the 80mm case, ensure that the connector insertion force does not exceed 1.5 kg to prevent damage to the ClickLoc™ mechanism. Use the 0 mm unthreaded section for maximum engagement within the machine case.

2. Fluid Protection: The FluidLoc® cable option (12) is specifically designed to seal the internal part of the cable against process fluids. This is critical in applications where the probe is exposed to pressurized lubricants or cooling oils that might otherwise "wick" through the cable into the Proximitor sensor.

3. Electrical Compliance: With an isolation rating of 1000 V AC and a supply voltage range of 12 V to 30 V DC, this probe ensures safe operation and low phase shift (< 3°). Always calibrate at the standard 1.5 kHz frequency for optimal sensitivity (> 2.0 mV/mm).

Engineering Advantages

The 3300 XL series is the industry benchmark for reliability. This specific 0.323 kg configuration offers an expanded temperature range (down to -50°C) and superior shock resistance of 50 G. The combination of IP68 ingress protection and a 15-year design life makes the 330104-00-08-50-12-00 an exceptional long-term investment for critical turbine and compressor monitoring where maintenance accessibility is limited.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Why is the weight 0.323 kg for this model?
A1: The 0.323 kg weight accounts for the high-density FluidLoc® cable material and the specialized 80mm case construction required for the IP68 rating.

Q2: What is the benefit of the FluidLoc® cable?
A2: FluidLoc® technology prevents process liquids from migrating through the cable, protecting both the sensor and the connected electronics from contamination.

Q3: Is this probe compatible with standard 3300 XL Proximitors?
A3: Yes, provided the Proximitor is calibrated for a 5.0-meter system length as indicated by the "50" total length option.
