Overview
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-20-02-CN is a 3300 XL 8 mm Probe with a 3/8-24 UNF thread, designed without armor for industrial vibration monitoring. This probe uses a patented TipLoc molding method for a robust bond between the probe tip and body, and a CableLoc design providing 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. The 8 mm probe offers thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic, resulting in a more rugged probe. The larger diameter of the probe body provides a stronger, more robust case.

Technical Specifications Breakdown
Key parameters for the 330101-00-96-20-02-CN are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications
The 8 mm probe provides optimal robustness against physical abuse, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs enhance reliability in continuous monitoring applications.

Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 330101-00-96-20-02-CN, ensure the probe tip is properly aligned with the target surface. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm). Use 3 conductor shielded triad cable for field wiring, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor. Exposing the probe to temperatures below –34˚C (-30˚F) may cause premature failure of the pressure seal.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and case using a Viton O-ring. Probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment; contact the custom design department if pressure seal testing is required. The probe relative humidity specification shows less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested in 93% humidity per IEC standard 68 2 3 for up to 56 days.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe is part of the 3300 XL system and is compatible with standard 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure and reliable connections. The 8 mm probes are recommended for optimal robustness.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a probe, consider the total length, connector type, and environmental conditions. The 330101-00-96-20-02-CN is available from AutoDCSTech. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
