Specifications and Ordering Information Part Number 178554-01 Rev. NC (10/07) Page 1 of 12 PROXPAC XL Proximity Transducer Assembly Description The design of the PROXPAC XL® Proximity Transducer Assembly is similar to our 31000/32000 Proximity Probe Housing Assemblies. The assembly offers the same advantages and features as the 31000 and 32000 housings for accessing and externally adjusting proximity probes. However, the housing cover of the PROXPAC XL Assembly also contains its own 3300 XL Proximitor® sensor. This design makes the PROXPAC XL Assembly a completely self-contained proximity probe system, and eliminates the need for an extension cable between the probe and its associated Proximitor sensor. It also eliminates the need for a separate Proximitor housing, as the field wiring connects directly between the monitors and PROXPAC XL Assemblies. The PROXPAC XL housing is made of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), which is an advanced, molded thermoplastic. This material replaces the steel and aluminum in previous housings offered in the Bently Nevada product line, It also incorporates glass and conductive fibers in the PPS to strengthen the housing and more effectively dissipate electrostatic charges. The PROXPAC XL housing is rated for Type 4X and for IP66 environments and provides extra protection in severe environments.
