A: Bently Nevada part numbers encode configuration:

• 28: Probe type with connector (typically 3300 XL 8 mm)

• 05: Probe cable length (0.5 m / ~20 in)

• 00: No standoff adapter

• 041: Probe penetration length (~4.1 in)

• 03: Fittings kit (e.g., plugs, reducers, cable seal grips)

• 02: Mounting thread type (3/4-14 NPT)

Q3 — What environments is this housing suitable for?
A: Designed for industrial use, it supports operation in high vibration and temperature conditions and can be supplied as explosion-proof with CSA Type 4 certification — suitable for hazardous environments.
