Bently Nevada 330101-00-36-10-01-CN 3300 XL 8 mm Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330101-00-36-10-01-CN are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

In a steam turbine, the 330101-00-36-10-01-CN provides early warning of shaft vibration changes, allowing you to schedule repairs during planned outages rather than reacting to emergency shutdowns. For centrifugal compressors, its robust TipLoc design reduces probe tip failures, lowering replacement part costs. The stainless steel case withstands harsh environments, minimizing corrosion-related issues and extending service life.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation is key to achieving accurate measurements and maximizing ROI. Mount the probe with the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration. Use field wiring of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) with a 3-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum field wiring length between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Ensure the probe tip is clean and the target surface is smooth to maintain the specified linear range.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection of the probe and cable connections helps prevent signal degradation. Check the connector protector and cable for wear or damage. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. For extended temperature range applications, the probe tip can operate up to +218°C (+425°F) and the cable up to +260°C (+500°F).

Compatibility & Integration

The standard Incremental Scale Factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ensures consistent output across the linear range. For 9-meter systems, the ISF tolerance is ±6.5%. The probe's Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector provides a secure, quick connection, reducing installation time and labor costs.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a probe, consider the cable length and environmental conditions. The 330101-00-36-10-01-CN offers a 1.0 meter cable, suitable for many standard installations. For longer distances, choose a compatible extension cable. AutoDCSTech stocks this model and can verify current lifecycle status and availability before ordering. Contact our team for assistance with part number configuration and application support.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If you observe erratic readings, first check the cable and connector for damage. Verify the probe resistance is within 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω. Ensure the target gap is within the linear range. For signal roll-off at high frequencies, review the frequency response graphs for your field wiring length. If the probe has been exposed to temperatures below -34°C, inspect the pressure seal integrity.
