Bently Nevada 330102-00-13-15-02-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330102-00-13-15-02-05 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals allow installation in hazardous areas, such as oil and gas facilities or chemical plants, where intrinsic safety is critical. By providing early fault detection, it helps reduce unplanned maintenance and extends machinery life.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Field wiring should use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned conductors. The maximum length between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). For high-frequency applications, refer to the frequency response graphs (Figures 10 and 12) to account for signal rolloff with longer cable runs. Ensure the probe tip is clean and properly positioned within the linear range for optimal accuracy.

Maintenance & Reliability

Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or contamination. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure using a Viton O-ring, but it is not pressure tested before shipment. If pressure seal integrity is critical, contact the custom design department for testing. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature seal failure. The probe relative humidity performance shows less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor when tested at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3.

Reliable Vibration Monitoring with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Probe

When protecting critical rotating machinery, accurate and reliable vibration measurement is non-negotiable. The Bently Nevada 330102-00-13-15-02-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe designed for demanding industrial environments. It provides precise displacement measurements, helping you detect early signs of shaft vibration, misalignment, or bearing wear before they lead to costly downtime.

This probe features a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip and a rugged AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel case, ensuring durability in harsh conditions. With a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) starting at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target, it delivers consistent performance for radial vibration and position monitoring. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc, corresponding to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils).

Compatibility & Integration

The 330102-00-13-15-02-05 is part of the 3300 XL series and works with compatible Bently Nevada Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. For intrinsically safe installations, use zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators. For non-incendive circuits, connect per drawing 140979. The probe supports Class I, Zone 0 and Zone 2 hazardous area classifications with appropriate barriers.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a proximity probe, consider the required cable length, thread type, and agency approvals. The 330102-00-13-15-02-05 offers a 1.5 m cable, 3/8-24 UNF thread, and CSA/ATEX/IECEx certifications. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
