Installation Guide

1. Mounting: Secure the sensor to the panel using the four-hole mounting pattern. Use appropriate hardware (screws, washers, lock washers) to prevent loosening from vibration.
2. Power Supply: Connect -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Max current: 12 mA.
3. Probe & Extension Cable: Connect the 3300 XL 8 mm probe and extension cable. Total system length must equal 9.0 meters (probe + cable combined).
4. Output Wiring: Connect shielded output cables to the monitoring system. Ground shield at the monitoring system end.
5. Gap Calibration: Set probe-to-target gap to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils). Verify output is within the linear range.
6. Cable Routing: Route the 9-meter cable away from high-voltage power cables and motor drives. Maintain minimum separation of 300 mm from AC power lines.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 330180-90-00 and 330180-91-00?
A: The 330180-90-00 is panel mount with no approvals. The 330180-91-00 is DIN rail mount with no approvals. Both are 9.0 meter system length. Choose based on your cabinet mounting preference.

Q: Can I use a 5-meter cable with this sensor?
A: No. The 330180-90-00 is calibrated for 9.0 meters total system length. Using a 5-meter cable will result in incorrect sensitivity. For 5-meter systems, order 330180-50-00 or 330180-51-00.

Q: Is the panel mount footprint compatible with 7200-series sensors?
A: Yes. The 3300 XL panel mount Proximitor Sensors are designed with a mounting footprint that matches legacy 7200-series sensors, facilitating direct replacement without drilling new holes.

Selection Tips

• Measure the total distance from the probe mounting location to the monitoring cabinet. Add 20% margin for routing. Order 5.0 m or 9.0 m accordingly.
• Choose panel mount (-90- or -50-) for high-vibration environments or when matching legacy mounting patterns. Choose DIN rail mount (-91- or -51-) for modern cabinet designs.
• For hazardous areas, select -05 approval suffix instead of -00.
• When upgrading from 7200-series, replace all components (probe, cable, Proximitor) with 3300 XL equivalents. Do not mix series.
