Features:
- Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance for hazardous area applications in offshore, chemical, and marine environments.
- CSA explosion-proof certification with CSA Type 4 enclosure rating ensures reliable operation in hazardous locations with protection against water and dust ingress.
- 3.5-inch standoff adapter with 2.7-inch probe penetration offers flexible positioning for installations requiring clearance from insulation layers or tool access.
The 24701-28-10-35-027-03-02 is built from stainless steel, making it the preferred choice for applications where exposure to corrosive agents is a primary concern. In offshore platforms, chemical processing plants, and marine installations, salt spray, humidity, and chemical vapors can quickly degrade aluminum housings, compromising both structural integrity and hazardous area seals.
The 24701-28-10-35-027-03-02 carries CSA explosion-proof certification and is rated as a CSA Type 4 enclosure, providing verified protection against both explosive atmospheres and environmental ingress. This dual certification simplifies compliance for installations in North American hazardous locations while ensuring the housing can withstand washdowns, rain, and dust exposure.
The 24701-28-10-35-027-03-02 is equipped with a 3.5-inch standoff adapter that provides critical clearance for insulation layers or installation tool access. This feature is particularly valuable in applications where the machine casing is insulated, as it allows the housing to be mounted securely without compressing or damaging insulation materials. The included cable seal grip comes with three grommet sizes, covering common cable diameters, while the stainless steel reducer to 1/2-14 NPT accommodates smaller conduit systems.

- Radial Vibration and Displacement: Mounted on large fluid thin-film bearings (sliding bearings) to monitor the dynamic behavior of the shaft.
- Axial (Thrust) Position: Used to monitor the rotor displacement relative to the thrust bearing, preventing internal collisions.
- Phase Reference (Keyphasor): Monitors speed and phase signals.
- No firmware required: This assembly consists of an aluminum housing, probe, sleeve, and cable. It does not contain a microprocessor and therefore requires no firmware updates.
- Hardware upgrades: If an "upgrade" is required, it typically refers to replacing the internal probe or seals. For example, upgrading an older 7200 series probe to a 3300 XL series probe provides better temperature stability and interference immunity.
- Maintenance recommendations: Regularly inspect the housing's O-rings (Viton material) and cable seals to ensure the protection rating (IP66/NEMA 4X) remains valid.
- Adjust the distance between the probe and the shaft by rotating the sleeve inside the protective housing.
- The gap voltage is typically set between -9.0 Vdc and -11.0 Vdc (center of the linear range).
- Since the probe cable is 1.0 meter, a 4.0 meter or 8.0 meter extension cable must be used when connecting to the 3300 XL Proximitor preamplifier to ensure a standard 5-meter or 9-meter system.
