Description

The Bently Nevada 330730-040-00-00 is a 4.0-meter (13.1-foot) extension cable designed for use with the 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Transducer System. This cable serves as the critical link between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring signal integrity in vibration monitoring applications. It is engineered to maintain the electrical characteristics required for accurate gap measurement in rotating machinery.

Features

• Designed specifically for the 3300 XL 11 mm transducer system.
• Constructed with 75 Ohm triaxial cable for high-frequency signal transmission.
• Insulated with fluoroethylenepropylene (FEP) for chemical resistance and durability in harsh industrial environments.
• Standard configuration without additional agency approvals or specialized mounting requirements.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure all connections are clean and free of debris before mating the connectors.
• Route cables away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to prevent signal noise.
• Use appropriate cable ties or conduits to secure the extension cable, ensuring the minimum bend radius is maintained to prevent internal conductor damage.
• Verify that the total system length (probe + extension cable) matches the calibration requirements of the Proximitor sensor.
• Always power down the monitoring system before disconnecting or connecting transducer components.

FAQ

Is this cable compatible with other Bently Nevada systems?

This cable is specifically designed for the 3300 XL 11 mm Proximity Transducer System. It is not intended for use with 5 mm or 8 mm probe systems, as the impedance and electrical characteristics differ.

What is the purpose of the triaxial construction?

The triaxial cable design provides superior shielding against electrical interference compared to standard coaxial cables, which is essential for maintaining the precision of proximity measurements in industrial environments.
