Use the removed probe or machine drawing to compare the 3/8-24 thread, 3.6 in case length and available adjustment. If the tip cannot reach the specified gap without running out of thread, this is not the correct mechanical configuration.

Start with the static gap voltage under the same stopped or steady machine condition used for the previous baseline. If the gap is correct, continue with the ClickLoc connection, cable continuity, target surface and channel scale before changing alarm settings.

Only when the probe lead and extension cable form the documented total length for the installed 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor Sensor. A connector that physically fits is not enough to establish a matched measurement chain.

A loose connector, cable movement, poor grounding, a damaged lead or an irregular target surface can create instability. Compare the raw gap voltage and cable response before treating the trend as a real machine change.

A different position can be acceptable only when thread engagement, target clearance and final gap remain within the approved installation. Record the new mechanical position and gap voltage so future maintenance has a reliable reference.

Keep the complete suffix: code 36 sets case reach, 10 sets the 1 m lead and 01 adds the connector protector. Ordering only “330101 probe” can deliver a part that fits the thread but not the installed geometry or cable arrangement.
