- Wide temperature immunity – Stable output from cryogenic to high-temperature process environments
- EMI/RFI robustness – Coaxial cable construction and driver shielding suppress electrical noise in VFD-rich environments
- Direct system compatibility – Plug-and-play replacement for existing Bently Nevada 3300 XL rack slots; no recalibration required when replacing like-for-like
- ATEX-rated – Suitable for Zone 1 hazardous area installation (verify Ex certificate for specific installation)
- Compact 16mm form factor – Fits standard API 670 proximity probe mounting bosses without machining modification
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PR6425/010-100 CON021 operates as the sensing element within a three-component eddy current measurement chain:
- PR6425 Probe (16mm tip) → generates high-frequency electromagnetic field; detects target displacement via impedance change
- CON021 Driver / Oscillator-Demodulator → converts probe impedance variation to a calibrated DC voltage output (–24 VDC powered)
- Signal Conditioner / Monitor Card (e.g., Bently Nevada 3300 XL 01-01-00-00 or EPRO MMS 6120) → receives DC voltage, applies alarm/trip setpoints, outputs 4–20 mA or relay contacts to DCS/PLC
The integrated CON021 driver eliminates the need for a separate extension cable in short-reach installations (≤1 m probe-to-driver distance), simplifying installation in confined machinery spaces.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the PR6425/010-100 CON021 a direct replacement for the Bently Nevada 330101-00-06-10-02-00?
A: The PR6425 series is EPRO’s equivalent to the Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity probe family. Electrical output characteristics (sensitivity, supply voltage, output range) are compatible. Verify mounting thread and cable length before installation.
Q: Can this sensor be used with non-steel targets (e.g., titanium, aluminum)?
A: Yes, but sensitivity and linear range will differ from the standard AISI 4140 calibration. A target-specific calibration curve is required. Contact our technical team for guidance.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this sensor can monitor?
A: The eddy current principle is frequency-independent for DC displacement measurement. The limiting factor is the signal conditioner bandwidth (typically 10 kHz for Bently Nevada 3300 XL cards), supporting shaft speeds well above 100,000 RPM for vibration frequency components within that bandwidth.
Q: Is ATEX certification included with each unit?
A: ATEX classification applies to the PR6425 product family. Individual unit certificates are available upon request. Specify your installation zone and gas group when ordering for hazardous area projects.
Q: What is the lead time for stock orders?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For large-volume or project orders, contact us for confirmed lead time.
