Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

1. Mounting Security: The 330104-00-12-50-02-05 includes an anti-vibration locknut and pre-drilled safety wire holes. Use these features to ensure the M10x1 thread remains secure under the 25g vibration loads common in mining and turbine applications.

2. Connector Integrity: The ClickLoc connector features gold-plated contacts to prevent signal degradation. Ensure the connector is fully seated and clicked into place to maintain the 50Ω impedance required for high-frequency signal integrity.

3. Armor Handling: The stainless steel braid armor is rated for 5000+ flex cycles. While robust, avoid sharp kinks during installation to ensure long-term reliability in subsea or nuclear plant supervision environments.

Engineering Advantages

The 3300 XL 8mm system is the global benchmark for eddy current sensing. The 330104-00-12-50-02-05 stands out with its Viton® O-ring seal, capable of sustaining 10 bar differential pressure, making it ideal for subsea equipment monitoring at significant depths. Its HV 200 hardness validation and 304 SST construction ensure resistance to physical wear and corrosive chemistry, while full EMC compliance (EN 61326-1:2020) guarantees minimal noise interference in electrically dense environments.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the maximum thread engagement for this model?
A1: This 120mm armored case model supports a maximum thread engagement of 15mm with its M10x1 threads.

Q2: Can this probe be used in Zone 0?
A2: Yes, it is fully AEx/Ex ia IIC T1-T5 compliant, making it safe for continuous operation in Zone 0 hazardous locations.

Q3: Is the 5.0m cable suitable for all installations?
A3: The "50" suffix indicates a 5.0-meter total system length. This probe must be paired with a 3300 XL Proximitor specifically calibrated for a 5-meter system to ensure measurement accuracy.
