Bently Nevada 330103-03-09-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe
Bently Nevada 330103-03-09-10-02-00 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe
The Bently Nevada 330103-03-09-10-02-00, also cataloged as the 330103 Proximity Probe, operates as a dedicated hardware component for non-contact shaft displacement measurement within 3300 XL machinery monitoring systems. Using eddy-current sensing technology, the probe measures the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target and supplies the signal to a compatible Proximitor sensor for linear voltage conversion.

Gap Voltage and Eddy-Current Measurement
The probe uses eddy-current sensing to detect the distance between the probe tip and a conductive shaft surface. When connected to a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensor, the system converts gap distance into a proportional voltage signal. During commissioning, gap voltage verification near -10 VDC is commonly used to confirm operation within the calibrated linear region for vibration and shaft position measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this probe require a separate signal conditioner?
A: Yes. The probe is designed to operate with a compatible 3300 XL Proximitor sensor.
Q: What is the cable length provided by option 10?
A: Option 10 specifies a 1.0 m integral cable length.
Q: What mounting configuration is designated by option 03?
A: The 03 mounting option identifies a reverse mount probe configuration.
Field Installation Guidelines
-
Install the probe securely using the specified reverse mounting arrangement.
-
Maintain adequate clearance between the probe tip and the conductive target during setup.
-
Route probe cables separately from power and motor conductors.
-
Avoid sharp cable bends that may affect cable integrity.
-
Ground cable shielding according to the machinery monitoring system design.
-
Verify gap voltage before placing the monitored machine into service.
-
Use only compatible 3300 XL extension cables and Proximitor components.
