Main Parameters

Core Features & Advantages

• Complete Interchangeability: The 3300 XL system supports complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor Sensors. Components can be replaced without individual matching or bench calibration, significantly simplifying maintenance and reducing spare parts inventory .

• Connector Protector for Environmental Sealing: The -03 suffix indicates the inclusion of connector protectors. These pre-installed silicone rubber seals eliminate the need for self-fusing tape or heat-shrink tubing at the connection point, providing a reusable environmental seal that prevents fluid contamination and moisture ingress—essential in oily or humid industrial environments .

• Superior EMI/RFI Immunity: The cable's 75 Ω triaxial construction with full shielding ensures high signal-to-noise ratio and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference. This allows stable transmission of low-level analog signals for both static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurements .

• Armored Option Available for Mechanical Protection: While this specific model is a standard (non-armored) cable, Bently Nevada offers an armored variant (330130-080-01-00) with stainless steel braiding for applications requiring enhanced protection against abrasion, crushing, and accidental impact .

Typical Applications

The 330130-080-03-00 is widely used for critical rotating machinery monitoring across various heavy industries :

• Power Generation: Radial vibration measurements on fluid-film bearing turbines

• Oil & Gas: Thrust (axial) position monitoring in high-speed compressors

• General Industry: Keyphasor and speed sensing applications, integration with 3500/42M or 3500/45 monitoring racks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the model number "330130-080-03-00" indicate?
A: The breakdown is: 330130 = 3300 XL Extension Cable; -080 = 8.0 meter (26.2 feet) length; -03 = Armored cable with connector protector (Note: Some sources list -03 as armored, while others list it as standard with connector protector; verify against your specific system documentation) ; -00 = No agency approval required .

Q2: What is the total system length this cable can create?
A: The 8.0-meter extension cable is designed to pair with a 1.0-meter probe to form a complete 9.0-meter system when used with a 9-meter Proximitor Sensor. The sum of the probe cable length plus extension cable length must equal the Proximitor's rated system length .

Q3: Can this cable be used with 5 mm or 11 mm probes?
A: The 3300 XL 8 mm system, including the 330130-080-03-00, is electrically tuned for 8 mm and 5 mm probes only. It is not compatible with 11 mm or 25 mm transducer systems due to differences in electrical impedance and scale factor .

Q4: What is the advantage of the connector protectors?
A: The connector protectors provide a reusable environmental seal that prevents fluid contamination and moisture ingress. They eliminate the need for self-fusing silicone tape or heat-shrink tubing at the connection point, making installation faster and more reliable .

Q5: What is the minimum bend radius for installation?
A: The minimum cable bend radius is 25.4 mm (1.0 inch). Exceeding this limit can damage the cable's internal conductors and degrade signal quality .

Q6: How do I verify the correct total system length?
A: The sum of the extension cable length and the probe lead length must equal the Proximitor Sensor system length. For example, a 9-meter Proximitor works with an 8-meter extension cable and a 1-meter probe .

Q7: What is the operating temperature range?
A: The cable operates from -52°C to +175°C (-62°F to +351°F). This extended range makes it suitable for extreme industrial environments .

Q8: How should the extension cable be routed?
A: Route the extension cable away from power lines and noise sources. Maintain a minimum distance of 12 inches from AC power cables and motor leads. Never run sensor cables in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring. Use mounting clips to secure the cable and avoid stress on the connections.
