Main Parameters
Core Features & Advantages
-
High-Density DIN Rail Mounting: The DIN rail mount configuration allows for space-efficient, high-density installations in modern control cabinets. The mounting base provides electrical isolation and eliminates the need for separate isolator plates, reducing wiring complexity and cabinet space requirements .
-
Superior RFI/EMI Immunity: The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is highly immune to radio frequency interference, allowing installation in fiberglass housings without adverse effects from nearby radio signals. Its improved RFI/EMI immunity satisfies European CE mark approvals without requiring special shielded conduit or metallic housings, resulting in lower installation costs .
-
Complete Interchangeability and Factory Calibration: The 3300 XL system supports complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors. This eliminates the need for time-consuming bench calibration or component matching, simplifying maintenance and reducing spare parts inventory .
-
SpringLoc Terminal Connections: The module features patented SpringLoc terminal strips that require no special installation tools. These terminals provide strong, vibration-resistant connections by eliminating screw-type clamping mechanisms that can loosen over time, ensuring reliable field wiring in high-vibration environments .
-
Robust Construction for Harsh Environments: The A308 aluminum housing and gold-plated connectors ensure durability and reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial conditions. The module operates reliably across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for compressors, turbines, and other equipment exposed to fluctuating ambient conditions .
Typical Applications
The 330180-91-00 is widely used for critical rotating machinery monitoring across various heavy industries :
-
Power Generation: Radial vibration and axial position monitoring of steam turbines, gas turbines, and generators
-
Oil & Gas: Vibration monitoring of centrifugal compressors, pumps, and fans in refineries and pipelines
-
Petrochemical: Condition monitoring of critical rotating equipment to ensure process continuity and safety
-
Heavy Industry: Monitoring large motors, gearboxes, and other vital assets in metallurgy, paper, and cement plants
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does the model number "330180-91-00" indicate?
A: The breakdown is: 330180 = 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor; -91 = 9.0 meters (29.5 feet) system length with DIN rail mounting; -00 = No agency approval required .
Q2: What is the difference between 330180-91-00 and 330180-90-00?
A: The -91 suffix indicates DIN rail mounting with a 9.0-meter system length. The -90 suffix indicates panel mounting with the same 9.0-meter system length .
Q3: What probes are compatible with this Proximitor Sensor?
A: It is compatible with 3300 series 5 mm probes, 3300 8 mm probes, and 3300 XL 8 mm probes and extension cables .
Q4: Does this system require field calibration after installation?
A: No. Each 3300 XL system is factory-calibrated as a complete unit. The complete interchangeability of components eliminates the need for bench calibration or component matching .
Q5: What is the recommended gap voltage for installation?
A: A healthy system should read between -9 V and -12 V DC at the monitor or extension cable connector. A reading near -2 V indicates a shorted probe or cable, while a reading near -24 V indicates an open circuit.
Q6: What are the power requirements?
A: The Proximitor requires a DC power supply of -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc (without safety barrier) or -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc (with safety barrier). Maximum current consumption is 12 mA .
Q7: Does this module carry hazardous area approvals?
A: This specific model (-00 suffix) has no agency approvals and is suitable for general-purpose environments only. For hazardous area installations, select a variant with the appropriate approval suffix (e.g., -05 for CSA, ATEX, IECEx) .

Choosing the Right Model
-
For standard 9.0 m DIN rail applications: The 330180-91-00 is the correct choice for high-density installations requiring a 9-meter system length without hazardous area approvals.
-
For hazardous area installations: Select the 330180-91-05 (CSA/ATEX/IECEx) or 330180-91-CN (NEPSI) variant .
-
For shorter system lengths: Consider the 330180-51-00 for 5.0-meter systems .
