Calibration: Every year calibrate the accuracy using standard gap blocks, ensuring the error ≤ ±0.5% FS;

Cleaning: Clean the dust on the panel and the rack quarterly to ensure good heat dissipation;

Spares: Only use the original Bently modules, probes, and cables to avoid measurement deviations.

IX. Usage Notes

Non-explosion-proof use: No explosion-proof design. It is strictly prohibited to use in flammable and explosive hazardous areas;

Probe matching: Must be paired with the 3300 XL 8mm eddy current probe system. Do not mix 5mm/11mm probes;

Gap standard: The static gap of the probe must be strictly installed at 1.27mm. Too close is prone to collision and wear, and too far results in weak signal;

Do not modify privately: Do not disassemble the module, modify the circuit, or change the cable length. This will avoid module failure and loss of warranty;

Power-off operation: When connecting, repairing, or replacing the module, the power supply of the rack must be cut off to prevent short circuits / electric shock;

Parameter setting: Alarm thresholds, delay, etc. parameters must be strictly configured according to the process requirements of the unit to avoid protection failure or false alarms.
