Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is 31000-16-10-15-201-02-02 a direct replacement for older Bently Nevada probe housings?
A: Yes. This part is designed as a direct OEM-equivalent replacement within the 3300 XL system architecture. Verify your existing probe thread and cable length suffix before ordering.
Q: Can this housing be used with non-Bently Nevada probes?
A: The housing is machined to Bently Nevada 3/8-24 UNF probe thread specifications. Third-party probes with matching thread and tip diameter may physically fit, but system calibration and API 670 compliance must be re-verified.
Q: What is the correct gap voltage for this assembly?
A: The standard 3300 XL 8mm system targets a –10 VDC quiescent gap voltage at the nominal gap (typically 1.0 mm / 40 mil). Refer to Bently Nevada document 141078-01 for full gap/voltage tables.
Q: Do you supply the complete 3300 XL channel kit?
A: Yes. We can source the full BOM including probe, extension cable, Proximitor driver, and rack modules. Contact us with your channel count and configuration for a bundled quote.
Q: Is this part available with ATEX certification?
A: ATEX/IECEx variants are available depending on the part number suffix. Please confirm your hazardous area classification (Zone 1/2, gas group, temperature class) when inquiring.
