- Overall Case Length: 230 mm (option 23)
- Total Length: 7.0 meters (23.0 feet) (option 70)
- Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, standard cable
- Cable: 75 Ω coaxial, FEP insulated, available in 0.5, 1, 5, or 7 meters
- Probe DC Resistance: 5.9 ± 0.9 ohms (center to outer conductor)
- Operating Temperature: -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +351°F)
- Storage Temperature: -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +351°F)
- Probe Case Torque (recommended): 11.3 N•m (100 in•lb)
- Minimum Bend Radius: 25.4 mm (1.0 in)

One notable spec is the probe DC resistance of 5.9 ± 0.9 ohms, which ensures consistent signal integrity over the 7-meter cable length. This resistance value is critical for accurate gap voltage measurements in eddy-current systems.
Applications and Use Cases
This proximity probe is ideal for monitoring shaft vibration and axial position in turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. Its 7.0-meter cable allows flexible routing from the machine to the monitoring system, reducing the need for junction boxes. Furthermore, the M10x1 thread enables secure mounting in standard probe holders, simplifying installation.
In addition, the probe's wide operating temperature range (-52°C to +177°C) makes it suitable for extreme environments, from cold outdoor installations to hot process areas. The armored version provides extra protection against mechanical damage, enhancing reliability in rugged industrial settings.
Installation and Setup
Proper installation is essential for accurate readings. The probe case should be torqued to the recommended value of 11.3 N•m (100 in•lb) to ensure a secure fit without over-stressing the threads. The unthreaded length of 70 mm must be at least 20 mm less than the case length, as per the ordering guidelines, to allow proper insertion depth.
When routing the cable, maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm to prevent damage to the coaxial cable. The ClickLoc connector provides a reliable, quick connection that minimizes signal loss. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for gap setting and calibration to achieve optimal performance.
Maintenance and Reliability
To ensure long-term reliability, inspect the probe and cable periodically for signs of wear or damage. The stainless steel case and PPS tip resist corrosion and chemical attack, but regular visual checks are recommended. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C for sustained periods, as this may cause premature failure of the pressure seal.
Because the probe has no moving parts, maintenance is minimal. However, verifying the DC resistance periodically can help detect cable degradation. If the resistance deviates from the specified 5.9 ± 0.9 ohms, it may indicate a cable fault that requires attention.
Compatibility and Integration
The 330910-07-23-70-02-00 is designed to work with Bently Nevada monitoring systems, such as the 3300 and 3500 series. Its standard 75 Ω coaxial cable and ClickLoc connector ensure compatibility with existing extension cables and proximity transducers. Always confirm system compatibility with your specific monitor before installation.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter erratic readings, first check the probe gap and cable connections. A loose ClickLoc connector can cause intermittent signals. Also, verify that the probe tip is not damaged or contaminated, as this can affect the eddy-current response. If the DC resistance is out of range, replace the probe or cable assembly.
For EPL Ga and Gc environments, refer to the temperature classification table in the datasheet to ensure the probe is used within its rated ambient temperature range. For example, for T2 classification, the ambient temperature must not exceed +177°C.
