• 28: Probe option — 3300 XL 8 mm with connector

• 10: 1.0 m cable length

• 00: No standoff adapter (direct mount)

• 040: ~4 in probe penetration depth

• 00: No additional fittings

• 02: 3/4‑14 NPT mounting threads

3. What does the proximity assembly measure?

It detects changes in gap between the probe tip and a rotating target (shaft/shaft component), converting mechanical

position/vibration into an electrical signal used by monitoring systems.
