Professional FAQs

What does "NSv" stand for in the compatible probe type?

"NSv" stands for "Non-Safety, vibration." These are standard proximity probes used for machinery condition monitoring, as opposed to "Safety" rated probes used in critical protection systems.

What is the purpose of the standoff adapter?

The 1.5-inch standoff adapter creates space between the mounting surface and the housing. This allows for probe adjustment, heat dissipation, and clearance over irregular surfaces.

Can this housing be used in explosive atmospheres?

The housing itself is constructed from static-dissipative material (per EN50014). The overall system rating for hazardous areas depends on the approved probe and barrier/isolator used inside it.

What cable sizes does the seal grip accommodate?

The included cable seal grip kit has grommets for three ranges: 1/8-3/16 in, 1/4-5/16 in, and 5/16-3/8 in diameter cables.

Is the probe included with this housing?

No. The model number specifies compatibility (Option 27 for a 3300 XL NSv probe), but the probe is a separate component that must be ordered to complete the system.
