Description

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-03-CN is a high-performance 3300 XL standard extension cable designed for use within the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. This 8.0-meter cable serves as the critical link between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate transmission of vibration and position data in industrial monitoring applications. This specific model features armored cabling for enhanced physical protection and includes agency approvals for hazardous area installations.

Features

• 8.0 meters (26.2 feet) length for flexible installation
• Armored cable construction with integrated connector protector
• Full electrical and physical interchangeability with 3300 XL series components
• Supports static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurement signals
• Compliant with API 670 standards for mechanical configuration and accuracy
• Hazardous area certification including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx

Applications

• Fluid-film bearing machine monitoring
• Turbomachinery protection (compressors, turbines, pumps)
• Keyphasor reference and rotational speed measurement
• High-temperature industrial environments

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the total system length (probe + extension cable) does not exceed the maximum specified length for the 3300 XL system (typically 9 meters total for standard systems).
• Handle with care to avoid kinking or damaging the coaxial cable; observe minimum bend radius requirements.
• Ensure all connections are clean and tightened to the specified torque to prevent signal degradation or intermittent readings.
• Use appropriate conduit and cable routing practices to protect against EMI and physical impact in industrial environments.
• Always power down the Proximitor sensor before disconnecting or connecting the extension cable to prevent electrical discharge.

FAQs

What is the primary function of this cable?

This cable connects the 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe to the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor, facilitating the transmission of eddy current signals used for vibration and position monitoring.

Is this cable interchangeable with other 3300 XL components?

Yes, the 3300 XL series is designed for complete interchangeability, meaning you can replace components without requiring individual bench calibration.

What does the -CN suffix indicate?

The -CN suffix denotes that this specific unit includes regional agency approvals (such as NEPSI) required for hazardous area installations within China, in addition to standard ATEX/IECEx/CSA ratings.
