Bently Nevada 330130-005-00-00 3300 XL Extension Cable

The Bently Nevada 330130-005-00-00 is a 3300 XL extension cable used within the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system. It provides the calibrated connection between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor while preserving the electrical characteristics required for accurate vibration and position measurements. This configuration includes a 0.5 m standard cable, non-armored construction, and no special agency approvals.

Configuration Identification

The model number defines the cable length, cable construction, and certification option.

• Base Model: 330130, 3300 XL Extension Cable

• Length Option: 005 = 0.5 m (1.6 ft)

• Cable Option: 00 = Standard cable without stainless steel armor

• Approval Option: 00 = No agency approvals required

Function Within the 3300 XL System

The extension cable is a calibrated component of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system. It is installed between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor and is designed to maintain the system's specified electrical characteristics.

Because the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor are calibrated as a complete system, cable type and length are important selection parameters. Substituting non-approved cable configurations may affect overall system accuracy and calibration.

Electrical Characteristics

The cable utilizes a 75 Ohm coaxial design and incorporates triple shielding to reduce susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. Its passive signal path preserves the inductive and capacitive characteristics required for accurate transmission of the probe signal.

When used in a properly matched 3300 XL transducer system, the extension cable supports transmission characteristics required for the standard system scale factor of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil).

Mechanical Construction

The cable assembly uses an FEP-insulated coaxial cable designed for industrial machinery monitoring applications. Gold-plated ClickLoc coaxial connectors at both ends provide a secure connection and help resist loosening caused by machinery vibration.

The standard cable version does not include stainless steel armor. A minimum bend radius of 25 mm should be maintained during installation to avoid excessive mechanical stress on the cable assembly.

Environmental Considerations

The cable is designed for use in demanding industrial environments and supports the operating temperature range specified for compatible 3300 XL transducer system components.

The triple-shielded construction helps maintain signal integrity in installations where electromagnetic interference may be present near rotating machinery monitoring equipment.

Technical Specifications

Installation Notes

• Intended for use with compatible 3300 XL proximity probes and Proximitor sensors.

• Maintain the minimum cable bend radius of 25 mm during routing.

• Verify the selected cable length matches the overall calibrated system configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
