2. Power Supply: Connect -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Max current: 12 mA.
3. Probe & Extension Cable: Connect 3300 XL 8 mm probe and extension cable. Total length must equal 9.0 meters.
4. Output Wiring: Connect shielded cables to the monitoring system. Ground shield at one end.
5. Gap Calibration: Set probe gap to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils).

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 330180-91-00 and 330180-91-05?
A: The -91-00 has no agency approvals. The -91-05 has multiple hazardous area approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx). Electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I mount this on a panel instead of DIN rail?
A: The -91- variant is designed for DIN rail mounting. For panel mounting, order 330180-90-00 or 330180-90-05.

Selection Tips

• Choose -91-00 for general-purpose 9-meter installations in non-hazardous areas with DIN rail cabinets.
• For hazardous areas, upgrade to -91-05.
• When replacing a unit, always match the exact model number to ensure identical system length and mounting.
