Industry Applications
The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals allow installation in hazardous areas, including Class I, Zone 0 environments when used with intrinsic safety barriers.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 330102-05-55-10-02-05, ensure the probe tip is clean and the target surface is smooth. Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned field wiring (0.2 to 1.5 mm² / 16 to 24 AWG). Maximum field wiring length between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). For radial vibration, set the gap voltage to -9 Vdc, corresponding to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target. Tighten the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF thread, respecting the maximum thread engagement of 0.563 in.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for damage. The probe case is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance. The Viton® O-ring seals differential pressure between tip and case, but probes are not pressure tested before shipment. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. The probe tip material (PPS) withstands standard operating temperatures up to +177°C.
Compatibility & Integration
The probe uses a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure, quick installation. It is compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and monitoring systems. For hazardous locations, follow intrinsic safety wiring per drawing 141092 or non-incendive wiring per drawing 140979.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement, verify the unthreaded length (0.5 in), overall case length (5.5 in), and total length (1.0 m) match your application.
