Industry Applications
The CSA explosion-proof certification (Class I Divisions 1 and 2 Groups C and D) allows safe installation in hazardous areas. The 3300 XL 8 mm probe provides accurate proximity measurements essential for predictive maintenance programs.

Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 21000-16-10-00-124-03-02, ensure the probe penetration length (C plus D) does not exceed 300 mm (12 in) without sleeve support to prevent resonance. The adjustment range of probe penetration option D is 13 mm (± 0.5 in). For penetration lengths between 1.0 and 2.0 inches, counter boring the machine case may be necessary to reduce side view or rear view effects. Use the provided fittings (3/4-14 NPT plug and reducer) for conduit connections. The mounting thread is 3/4-14 NPT.
Maintenance & Reliability
The aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve offers corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The assembly includes O-rings and a thread seal for reliable sealing. For hazardous area installations, ensure the circuit remains non-incendive per drawing 140979. Inspect the housing periodically for signs of wear or damage, especially the cable seal grip and grommets.
Reliable Vibration Monitoring in Harsh Environments
In rotating machinery, undetected vibration can lead to catastrophic failure. The Bently Nevada 21000-16-10-00-124-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly provides a robust, explosion-proof enclosure for precise shaft displacement measurement. Designed for hazardous areas, this assembly ensures reliable data collection in the most demanding industrial settings.

Compatibility & Integration
This assembly is fully compliant with the American Petroleum Institute's (API) 670 Standard for externally mounted proximity probe housings. It is certified as a CSA Type 4 enclosure. The assembly works with Bently Nevada monitoring systems and accepts 3300 XL series probes. The cable seal grip accommodates cable sizes from 1/8 to 3/8 inches.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When ordering, verify that the probe penetration length (C plus D) meets your machine's requirements. The 21000-16-10-00-124-03-02 includes a 1.0 m probe cable and 12.4 in penetration. For longer penetrations, consider sleeve support. AutoDCSTech offers this assembly as new original in factory packing with a 12-month warranty.
