3. Function and Product Positioning

Core Functions

• Non‑Contact Displacement Measurement: Processes signals from 3300 XL 8mm probes to measure static shaft gap (axial displacement, differential expansion) and dynamic vibration (shaft orbit, radial vibration).

• Signal Linearization & Conditioning: Provides highly linear output proportional to gap; filters high‑frequency noise to ensure stability in harsh electrical environments.

• Dual Measurement Capability:

  • Static (DC): Average gap for axial position, thrust wear, and differential expansion.

  • Dynamic (AC): Vibration amplitude and frequency for unbalance, misalignment, and bearing fault detection.

• System Interchangeability: Probes, extension cables, and proximitors are fully interchangeable without matched calibration, reducing inventory and maintenance costs.

Operational Features

• Hot‑Swap Compatible: Can be replaced without shutting down the monitoring system (when used with compatible racks).

• Built‑In Diagnostics: Detects probe open/short circuits, cable faults, and power supply anomalies; outputs fault indicators to monitoring systems.

• Wide Temperature Stability: Maintains sensitivity and linearity across −30°C to +65°C, suitable for turbine and compressor enclosures.

• DIN‑Rail Mounting: Compact design for high‑density panel installations; also compatible with traditional panel‑mount footprints.

Product Positioning

• Turbines, compressors, generators, and pumps in power generation, oil and gas, and petrochemical plants.

• API 670‑compliant protection systems requiring non‑contact shaft monitoring.

• New installations and retrofits of 3300 XL sensor systems with 5‑meter cable length requirements.

• Integration with Bently Nevada 3500, 1900, and 990 series monitoring equipment.
