Bently Nevada 330103-00-13-20-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 330103-00-13-20-12-05 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

Turbine and Compressor Protection

In steam turbines and centrifugal compressors, shaft vibration must be monitored continuously. Its PPS tip and stainless steel case withstand high temperatures and corrosive atmospheres.

Pump and Motor Condition Monitoring

For large pumps and electric motors, the probe's -9 Vdc recommended gap setting simplifies setup. The 2.0 m FluidLoc cable with ClickLoc connector ensures a secure, oil-resistant connection in wet environments. The probe's less than 3% ASF change in 93% humidity guarantees stable readings over time.

Hazardous Area Machinery

With CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, this probe is certified for use in Class I, Zone 0 and Zone 2 explosive atmospheres. When installed with intrinsic safety barriers or galvanic isolators, it meets AEx/Ex ia IIC T5...T1 Ga requirements, enabling safe deployment in refineries and chemical plants.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the 330103-00-13-20-12-05 using the M10 x 1 thread with a maximum thread engagement of 15 mm. Ensure the target surface is clean and within the linear range. For radial vibration, set the gap to -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm). Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable (16 to 24 AWG) for field wiring, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor Sensor and the monitor. Refer to frequency response graphs for signal rolloff at high frequencies with longer cables.

Maintenance and Reliability

Inspect the probe and cable periodically for physical damage or contamination. The probe is designed to seal differential pressure between tip and case using a Viton O-ring. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure. The probe is not pressure tested before shipment; contact the custom design department if a pressure seal test is required.

Precision Vibration Monitoring with the 330103-00-13-20-12-05

Industrial rotating machinery demands accurate, reliable vibration measurement to prevent catastrophic failures. The Bently Nevada 330103-00-13-20-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe delivers the precision and durability needed for continuous monitoring in the most demanding environments. This probe is engineered for non-contact displacement measurement, providing critical data for machinery protection and condition monitoring.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe is part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL system and works with 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and compatible monitors. The Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures a reliable, quick connection. For non-incendive installations, refer to drawing 140979.
