3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Cable with FluidLoc Technology
Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-05 is a specialized extension cable from the 3300 XL series. This cable directly connects an 8 mm proximity probe to its Proximitor sensor. The "-060" option designates a 6.0-meter (19.7 feet) length. Moreover, the "-11" option specifies the armored FluidLoc cable construction. This design prevents oil and other liquids from penetrating the cable assembly. Additionally, the "-05" suffix marks agency approvals for hazardous locations. Therefore, the Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-05 is suitable for environments requiring CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certification. This cable fully complies with the API 670 standard for mechanical configuration.
Core Value
The Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-05 delivers exceptional durability and signal fidelity. Firstly, the FluidLoc armor provides robust protection against oil ingress and mechanical wear. This is especially valuable in turbine and compressor applications. Moreover, the cable features a 69.9 pF/m capacitance with 50Ω output resistance. This ensures stable and accurate data transmission. Furthermore, gold-plated ClickLoc™ connectors provide corrosion resistance and secure, tool-free connections. Besides, the 6.0-meter length fits within the 5 to 9 meter total extension requirement for the 3300 XL system. Consequently, this cable minimizes signal loss and supports long-term reliability.
Technical Insights
Understanding the technical parameters ensures proper system performance. Specifically, the Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-05 offers a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils), starting at approximately 0.25 mm from the target. The armored cable weighs 103 g/m (1.5 oz/ft), totaling 0.618 kg. Meanwhile, the DC resistance for a 6.0-meter length measures 1.32 ± 0.21 Ω for the center conductor and 0.39 ± 0.08 Ω for the outer conductor. The system requires a power supply between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc. This consistency allows for accurate gap voltage measurements across the entire monitoring system.
Installation & Maintenance
Proper installation of the Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-05 prevents common field issues. Firstly, power down the system before connecting the cable. Secondly, align the ClickLoc™ connector and push until you hear a secure click. Avoid over-tightening the connector to prevent thread damage. During routing, maintain a minimum bend radius of 100 mm (4 inches) to protect internal conductors. For maintenance, regularly inspect the armored jacket for cuts or kinks. Clean connector surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth. Moreover, do not use silicone tape in applications exposed to turbine oil, as it may degrade. Always verify the total extension cable length matches the system configuration for optimal linear range operation.
