Functional Description
The 330104‑00‑16‑10‑02‑05 probe uses an eddy‑current sensing coil encapsulated in a molded PPS plastic tip, providing enhanced resistance to oil ingress, moisture, and mechanical wear. The armored cable construction protects the probe from abrasion and crushing forces, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments such as turbine decks, compressor housings, and pump skids.
This model is fully compatible with other components in the 3300 XL system, including extension cables and Proximitor sensors. Because the system is factory‑matched, no bench calibration is required when replacing or interchanging components.
The probe’s shielding and internal design provide strong immunity to RFI/EMI interference, allowing installation in non‑metallic housings while maintaining CE compliance. Its compact form factor supports both DIN‑rail and panel‑mounted monitoring systems.

FAQ
Q: Does this probe require calibration after installation? A: No. The probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor are factory‑matched and do not require bench calibration.
Q: Can this probe be used in oil‑rich environments? A: Yes. The armored cable and PPS‑encapsulated tip provide excellent resistance to oil and moisture.
Q: Is it interchangeable with other 3300 XL 8 mm probes? A: Yes. All 3300 XL 8 mm probes are designed for full interchangeability within the system.
