FAQ

Q: What exactly does a “3300 XL extension cable” do?
A: The extension cable connects the 8 mm probe tip (mounted near the shaft or machine target) to the Proximitor sensor electronics.

 It carries the probe’s eddy‑current signal so the system can output a voltage proportional to the gap between probe tip and

conductive target — enabling static position or dynamic vibration measurement.

Q: Is this extension cable compatible with any 3300 XL probe or sensor?
A: Yes — one of the design principles of the 3300 XL system is interchangeability. Probes, extension cables, and Proximitor

 sensors are generally electrically and mechanically compatible across the 3300 XL series

(and some older 3300‑series devices).

Q: What connector type does the extension cable use?
A: The cable uses Bently Nevada’s gold‑plated brass “ClickLoc” connectors. These connectors lock via a

finger‑tight “click” (no special tools needed)

and resist loosening.
