The Bently Nevada 330180-X1-CN MOD:145004-13 is a high-precision 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor engineered for non-contact vibration and position monitoring in industrial rotating machinery. As a critical component of the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System, this unit converts probe tip proximity to a conductive surface into a proportional output voltage, enabling accurate measurement of both static and dynamic machine parameters.

Features

• Designed for fluid-film bearing machines, compression systems, and speed measurement applications.
• Provides complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and sensors, eliminating the need for individual bench calibration.
• Backwards compatible with legacy 3300 series transducer system components.
• Extended temperature range performance for demanding industrial environments.
• Includes hazardous area approvals (ATEX, IECEx, and NEPSI) for safe operation in explosive atmospheres.

Applications

• Oil & Gas: Monitoring critical centrifugal compressors and pumps in refineries and offshore platforms.
• Power Generation: Protecting steam and gas turbines, and hydro generators.
• Petrochemical Processing: Tracking equipment health in high-risk areas where flammable gases are present.
• Water & Wastewater: Ensuring long-term reliability in large-scale pumping systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the sensor in a protective enclosure or on a DIN rail within a control cabinet.
• Isolation: The mounting base provides electrical isolation from the DIN rail; no additional isolator plates are required.
• Spacing: To prevent cross-talk, maintain a minimum separation of 40 mm (1.6 in) for axial measurements or 74 mm (2.9 in) for radial measurements when installing multiple sensors.
• Handling: Ensure the system is powered down before connecting or disconnecting cables to prevent electrical damage.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 330180-X1-CN?

It is a Proximitor sensor that processes signals from a proximity probe to provide a voltage output proportional to the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target, used primarily for vibration and position monitoring.

What does the -CN suffix indicate?

The -CN suffix denotes that the unit is configured with agency approvals specifically for the Chinese market, including compliance with NEPSI standards alongside standard ATEX/IECEx hazardous area markings.

Is this sensor compatible with older 3300 series probes?

Yes, the 3300 XL system is designed to be backwards compatible with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm probes, though system-wide performance is optimized when using the full 3300 XL component set.
