Quick Detail

Description

The 3300 XL Proximity Sensor represents a significant evolution in Proximitor sensor technology, offering enhanced performance, simplified installation, and greater reliability compared to earlier designs. Its compact and versatile housing is specifically engineered for high-density DIN-rail setups, while also accommodating conventional panel mount installations. By maintaining the familiar 4-hole mounting footprint of previous Proximitor Sensor generations, the 3300 XL allows seamless upgrades without requiring changes to existing mounting configurations.

Designed with both efficiency and safety in mind, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor features an integrated mounting base that provides full electrical isolation, eliminating the need for additional isolator plates and reducing installation complexity. The sensor’s robust construction ensures outstanding immunity to radio frequency interference (RFI), making it suitable for installation within fiberglass enclosures and other non-metallic housings without risk of signal degradation. Its improved RFI/EMI resistance meets stringent European CE mark requirements, enabling compliance without the added cost of specialized shielded conduits or metallic housings.

The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor also introduces innovative SpringLoc terminal strips, designed to streamline field wiring. Unlike traditional screw-type terminals that can loosen over time, SpringLoc connections provide secure, reliable electrical contact while significantly reducing installation time. No specialized tools are required, which enhances overall efficiency during deployment and maintenance. This feature ensures a durable and dependable connection in demanding industrial environments, improving both operational reliability and long-term performance.

Engineered for precision measurement and high-density applications, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is an ideal choice for vibration and position monitoring in fluid-film bearing machinery, rotating equipment, and other critical industrial systems. Its combination of RFI immunity, flexible mounting options, and tool-free wiring capabilities establishes the 3300 XL as a leading solution for modern industrial sensor networks. By integrating these advanced features into a single, reliable package, the 3300 XL Proximity Sensor simplifies installation, reduces costs, and enhances measurement accuracy across a wide range of industrial applications.

Applications

The 3300 XL Proximity Sensor is specifically engineered for high-precision vibration and position monitoring in industrial machinery, particularly for rotating equipment with fluid-film bearings. Its advanced design makes it suitable for a wide range of demanding applications in energy, manufacturing, and process industries.

1. Vibration and Position Measurement

The sensor provides an output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the observed conductive surface. This allows accurate static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurement, making it ideal for monitoring shaft displacement, rotor alignment, and other critical machine parameters. The high frequency response of 0–10 kHz ensures precise tracking of rapid vibration changes, even with long field wiring up to 305 meters (1000 feet).

2. High-Density and Flexible Mounting

With a 5.0-meter system length and DIN-rail mounting compatibility, the 3300 XL sensor fits efficiently in high-density industrial control panels. It also supports traditional panel mounting with a 4-hole footprint identical to older Proximitor Sensor designs. The integrated electrical isolation of the mounting base eliminates the need for separate isolator plates, simplifying installation.

3. Robust Performance in Harsh Environments

Constructed from durable A308 aluminum, the sensor operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -52°C to +100°C (-62°F to +212°F) and can withstand storage temperatures up to +105°C (+221°F). Its high immunity to RFI/EMI allows installation in fiberglass housings without performance degradation, meeting European CE approvals without the need for shielded conduit or metallic enclosures.

4. Reliable and Easy Field Wiring

The 3300 XL features SpringLoc terminal strips that enable quick and secure wiring without specialized tools. This design reduces installation time and eliminates the risk of loose screw-type connections, ensuring stable, long-term operation in critical monitoring applications.

5. Suitable for Precision Industrial Applications

Thanks to its sensitivity and low output resistance (50 Ω), along with the ability to measure targets as small as 15.2 mm (0.6 in) diameter, the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is ideal for precision applications such as turbines, generators, compressors, and other high-speed rotating machinery.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Superior Measurement Accuracy

The 3300 XL Proximity Sensor delivers precise output voltage directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the target conductive surface. With a frequency response of 0–10 kHz and the ability to measure targets as small as 15.2 mm (0.6 in) diameter, it ensures accurate static (position) and dynamic (vibration) monitoring for critical machinery. This level of sensitivity outperforms many legacy designs, enabling more reliable machine health diagnostics.

2. Flexible and Space-Saving Installation

Designed for both DIN-rail high-density mounting and traditional panel configurations, the 3300 XL fits easily into varied industrial setups. Its 4-hole mounting footprint, identical to older Proximitor Sensor designs, simplifies upgrades and replacements. Electrical isolation integrated into the mounting base removes the need for separate isolator plates, reducing installation complexity and cost.

3. Exceptional RFI/EMI Immunity

The sensor features advanced radio frequency and electromagnetic interference resistance, allowing installation in fiberglass or non-metallic housings without signal degradation. Compliance with European CE mark approvals without the need for shielded conduits or metallic enclosures lowers both material costs and labor effort, giving it a clear advantage in industrial environments where EMI/RFI is a concern.

4. Robust Environmental Performance

Constructed from durable A308 aluminum, the sensor operates reliably in extreme conditions ranging from -52°C to +100°C (-62°F to +212°F) and can be stored up to +105°C (+221°F). Its low supply sensitivity (<2 mV per volt change) and stable output resistance (50 Ω) guarantee consistent performance across varying power inputs and environmental conditions.

5. Efficient and Reliable Field Wiring

Equipped with SpringLoc terminal strips, the 3300 XL eliminates the need for traditional screw-type connections. This feature allows faster, more secure field wiring, reduces the risk of loose connections, and ensures long-term operational reliability, which is a significant advantage for maintenance-intensive industrial operations.

6. Compatibility with 3300 Series Probes

The sensor supports both 5 mm 3300-series and 8 mm 3300 XL Proximity Probes, providing flexibility for integration with existing systems while enabling upgrades without the need for full system replacements.
