Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use the PR6423/10R-010CON021 as a direct replacement for a PR6424 series sensor?
A: The PR6424 (EPRO series) uses the same 200 mV/mil sensitivity and –24 VDC supply, making cross-compatibility possible in most cases. However, verify the connector type and cable length before installation.
Q: Does this sensor require recalibration after replacement?
A: OEM units are factory-calibrated and typically do not require recalibration when replacing a like-for-like unit in a 3300 XL system. A gap check (typically 1.0 mm nominal) is recommended after installation.
Q: What is the target material requirement?
A: The sensor is calibrated for AISI 4140 steel. For stainless steel or other alloys, a material correction factor may apply — consult the Bently Nevada calibration guide or contact Konmask for support.
Q: Is this sensor API 670 compliant?
A: Yes, when used within a certified Bently Nevada 3300 XL system, the installation meets API 670 (5th Edition) requirements for machinery protection systems.
Q: Can Konmask supply the matching driver/conditioner?
A: Yes. We can supply the complete 3300 XL proximity transducer system including driver, extension cable, and junction box. Contact us for a complete BOM quote.
