Eddy-Current Probe Scaling and Cross-Talk Suppression
Although configured for LVDT inputs, the 3300/48 module maintains compatibility with system-level eddy-current probe scaling logic. Internal circuitry validates displacement signals against reference voltages to ensure linearity. Cross-talk suppression routines isolate dual-channel inputs, preventing interference during comparative casing growth analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can buffered transducer outputs be used for dynamic analysis? A: Yes, coaxial connectors on the front panel provide direct buffered signals for analyzer connection.
Q: What is the alarm loop response time? A: The module executes alarm relay switching in less than 1 millisecond.
Q: Does the unit require internal safety barriers for hazardous areas? A: No, this configuration (-00) does not include internal barriers; external protection must be applied if required.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Insert into a single-slot rack position with full connector engagement.
- Ensure LVDT cabling is shielded and grounded at the rack end only.
- Maintain separation between signal wiring and high-voltage conductors.
- Verify displacement calibration during commissioning using reference displacement blocks.
- Configure operating mode (independent vs. differential) via front panel switches before startup.
