Product Overview
The 330103-00-03-05-12-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe from Bently Nevada, designed for non-contact displacement and vibration measurements. It features an M10 x 1 thread, a 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) total length, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable. The probe tip is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and the case is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel. Agency approvals include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx.

Industry Applications
The 2 mm linear range and -9 Vdc recommended gap setting provide precise data for predictive maintenance programs, helping avoid unplanned outages.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the probe using the M10 x 1 thread with a maximum thread engagement of 15 mm. Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable (0.2 to 1.5 mm² / 16 to 24 AWG) for field wiring. Maximum cable length between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Set the initial gap to approximately -9 Vdc (1.27 mm) for radial vibration measurements.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring.
Why Precision Proximity Sensing Matters in Critical Machinery
In rotating machinery, even a minor misalignment or vibration can lead to costly downtime. The Bently Nevada 330103-00-03-05-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers the accuracy and reliability needed for continuous monitoring in harsh industrial environments.

Compatibility & Integration
The 330103-00-03-05-12-05 works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and monitoring systems. It supports intrinsically safe installations when used with zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators, and non-incendive circuits per drawing 140979.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a proximity probe, verify the thread size, cable length, and agency approvals match your application. The 330103-00-03-05-12-05 is available at AutoDCSTech. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
