Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330103-00-04-05-12-05 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe designed for precise, non-contact vibration and position measurements in critical rotating machinery. This metric probe features an M10x1 thread, a 0.5-meter cable, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable. It is approved for hazardous environments with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications, making it a trusted choice for industrial asset protection.
Technical Specifications Breakdown

Industry Applications
Its hazardous area approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) allow installation in Zone 0, 1, and 2 environments when used with appropriate barriers or isolators. The 0.5-meter cable length suits close-coupled installations where the sensor is near the machine casing.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the probe with the M10x1 thread into a pre-tapped hole. Ensure the unthreaded length (0 mm) is accounted for to avoid bottoming out. Maximum thread engagement is 15 mm. Use the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration measurements. Field wiring should use 3-conductor shielded triad cable, 16 to 24 AWG, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the probe and the monitor. Torque the probe to manufacturer specifications to maintain the pressure seal.
Maintenance & Reliability
The probe tip is made of PPS, and the case is AISI 303/304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The Viton O-ring provides a differential pressure seal. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature seal failure. Relative humidity up to 93% for 56 days causes less than 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF). Inspect the cable and connector periodically for damage, especially in high-vibration areas.
Compatibility & Integration
This 3300 XL probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and compatible monitoring systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure, quick connections. When used with intrinsically safe zener barriers (per drawing 141092) or galvanic isolators, it is suitable for Class I, Zone 0 hazardous areas. For non-incendive installations, use per drawing 140979 for Class I, Zone 2.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a proximity probe, consider cable length, thread size, and agency approvals. The 330103-00-04-05-12-05 is a robust choice for metric applications needing a 0.5-meter cable and hazardous area certification.
