Industry Applications for the 3300 XL Probe
The 330101-00-12-10-12 provides accurate shaft relative vibration and position measurements. Its robust design, including a thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic, offers superior resistance to physical abuse in demanding industrial environments.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Proper installation is crucial for accurate readings. Mount the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread into a suitable mounting block or bracket. Ensure the target surface is clean and within the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration measurements. Use the recommended field wiring: 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) 3-conductor shielded triad cable, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor.
Maintenance and Reliability
The probe's design incorporates a patented TipLoc molding method for a robust bond between the probe tip and body. The CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. The FluidLoc cable option prevents oil leakage through the cable interior. Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton O-ring.
Compatibility and Integration
This probe is part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series and is compatible with 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor sensors. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a secure and reliable connection. The system provides a standard Incremental Scale Factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) for accurate vibration analysis.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement or new probe, verify the thread size (3/8-24 UNF), cable length (1.0 metre), and connector type (ClickLoc). The 330101-00-12-10-12 is a non-armored version suitable for standard industrial environments. For applications with extreme cable pull or liquid exposure, consider the FluidLoc option.
