Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330103-00-04-15-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe designed for precise shaft vibration and position measurements in rotating machinery. This metric probe features an M10x1 thread, a 1.5 meter (4.9 feet) cable with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector, and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) tip. The probe case is made of AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel.

Industry Applications
This proximity probe is widely used in turbomachinery monitoring, including steam turbines, compressors, and pumps. The 2 mm linear range and -9 Vdc recommended gap setting make it suitable for radial vibration measurements. The probe's PPS tip and stainless steel case ensure durability in high-temperature environments up to +177°C. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector simplifies installation and reduces signal noise.
Installation & Setup Guidance
For field wiring, use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) tinned wire with a 3-conductor shielded triad cable. Maximum cable length between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Ensure the probe is properly torqued into the M10x1 thread with a maximum thread engagement of 15 mm. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between the tip and case using a Viton® O-ring; it is not pressure tested prior to shipment.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the probe cable and connector periodically for wear or damage. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature failure of the pressure seal. The probe exhibits 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. For extended temperature range applications, the probe tip can withstand up to +218°C and the cable up to +260°C.
Compatibility & Integration
This probe is compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and monitoring systems. When installed with intrinsically safe zener barriers per drawing 141092 or galvanic isolators, it meets Class I, Zone 0: AEx/Ex ia IIC T5...T1 Ga; Class I, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Groups E, F, G; Class III. When installed with non-incendive circuits per drawing 140979, it meets Class I, Zone 2: AEx/Ex nA IIC T5…T1 Gc; Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; and Class I, Zone 2: AEx/Ex ec IIC T5…T1 Gc.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a replacement probe, verify the thread size (M10x1), cable length (1.5 m), and connector type (ClickLoc). The 330103-00-04-15-02-00 is a standard probe without armor. For applications requiring agency approval, note that this option is not required. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with AutoDCSTech before ordering.
