Industry Applications
The 2 mm linear range and precise -9 Vdc gap setting enable early detection of shaft misalignment, imbalance, or bearing wear. Its robust stainless steel case and PPS tip withstand harsh conditions, reducing unplanned downtime.
Installation & Setup Guidance
For field wiring, use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) three-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring. Maximum field wiring length between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Ensure the probe is installed with the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration applications. The maximum thread engagement is 15 mm.
Maintenance & Reliability
The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton® O-ring. While not pressure tested prior to shipment, periodic inspection of the cable and connector is recommended. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. The probe maintains less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested in 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3 for up to 56 days.
Compatibility & Integration
This 5-meter probe is designed for use with the 5 meter Proximitor sensor only. When installed with intrinsically safe zener barriers per drawing 141092 or with galvanic isolators, it meets Class I, Zone 0: AEx/Ex ia IIC T5...T1 Ga; Class 1, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Groups E, F, G; Class III. When installed with non-incendive circuit per drawing 140979, it meets Class I, Zone 2: AEx/Ex nA IIC T5…T1 Gc; Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class 1, Zone 2: AEx/Ex ec IIC T5…T1 Gc.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the Bently Nevada 330103-00-03-50-02-00, verify your application's thread requirement (M10 x 1) and cable length needs. This probe includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector for secure, quick installation. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
