FAQ

Q1: What does the “11 mm” mean in the 3300 XL 11 mm family?
A1: It refers to the diameter of the probe tip (11 mm). This larger tip size compared to 8 mm versions gives a longer linear measurement range and more robust signal in bigger machines.

Q2: Can I directly replace an 8 mm probe with this 11 mm one?
A2: Not necessarily. The 11 mm family (3300 XL 11 mm) has different linear range, calibration, and mounting requirements than the 8 mm

 family. The datasheet states when upgrading from the older 7200 series to the 3300 XL 11 mm system, “every component must be

 replaced with 3300 XL 11 mm components.” So using this 11 mm probe may require matching the extension cable

and Proximitor sensor for correct performance.

Q3: What gap should I set between probe tip and target?
A3: The datasheet recommends ~2.5 mm (100 mils) gap for the 11 mm system in typical operation. 
Operating closer or further is possible but may impinge on linear range or calibration.
