Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the PR6423/010-010 CON021 a direct replacement for Bently Nevada 3300 XL sensors?
A: Yes, the PR6423 series is designed as a functional equivalent for Bently Nevada 3300 XL eddy current sensors. Verify cable length and connector type before installation.
Q: What target materials are compatible?
A: The sensor is optimized for ferrous steel targets (AISI 4140). Performance on non-ferrous or stainless steel targets requires calibration adjustment — consult the datasheet or contact our technical team.
Q: Can this sensor be used in ATEX Zone 1 hazardous areas?
A: ATEX-certified variants exist within the PR6423 family. Confirm the specific ATEX marking on the unit’s nameplate and verify against your area classification before installation.
Q: What is the recommended gap setting?
A: The nominal linear range is 0–10 mm. The recommended operating gap is typically 1.0–2.0 mm for optimal linearity. Refer to the calibration curve in the product datasheet.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Calibration certificates can be arranged upon request. Please specify this requirement at the time of order.
