The Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-10-02-05 is an advanced 8 mm probe from the industry-standard 3300 XL series. This model uses a 3/8-24 UNF thread and comes without armor. It provides non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position with exceptional accuracy. This specific configuration includes a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) total length. It also features the Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. Most importantly, the '05' agency approval option certifies it for use in hazardous areas. Therefore, this sensor is ideal for demanding applications requiring safety compliance.
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-10-02-05 delivers precise electrical performance. The nominal DC resistance (RPROBE) measures 7.59 ± 0.50 Ω. This resistance is measured from the center conductor to the outer conductor. The probe cable uses high-quality materials to ensure signal integrity and longevity.
Additionally, the 3300 XL series incorporates several patented improvements. The TipLoc molding method creates a more robust bond between the probe tip and body. Furthermore, the CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. This securely attaches the probe cable and tip for enhanced durability in harsh environments.
The linear range for this sensor spans 2 mm (80 mils). It begins at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target. The range extends from 0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils). This corresponds to approximately –1 to –17 Vdc. The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc. This equals approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) for optimal performance.
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-10-02-05 demonstrates excellent accuracy and linearity. The Incremental Scale Factor (ISF) is 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) for a 1-meter system. This includes an interchangeability error of ±5% over the 80 mil linear range. The temperature range for this rating is 0°C to +45°C (+32°F to +113°F).
Moreover, the Deviation from Best Fit Straight Line (DSL) is minimal. For a standard 1-meter system, it measures less than ±0.025 mm (±1 mil). This high linearity ensures reliable and repeatable measurements. The extension cable capacitance is typically 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft). Field wiring can be 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG). We recommend using 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring. The maximum field wiring length between the Proximitor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet).
The '05' agency approval option makes this probe stand out. The Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-10-02-05 holds CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. These approvals confirm its suitability for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres. This makes it the preferred choice for oil, gas, and petrochemical applications. Users benefit from compliance with international safety standards without compromising on measurement accuracy.
Understanding the physical specifications ensures proper installation. The Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-10-02-05 features a 3/8-24 UNF thread. The unthreaded length option is 0.0 inches (Option '00'). The overall case length is 0.8 inches (Option '08'). The probe weighs approximately 323 g/m (11.4 oz).
Furthermore, the operating temperature range is critical. The standard probe operates between -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F). However, exposing the probe to temperatures below –34˚C (-30˚F) may cause premature seal failure. The pressure seal uses a Viton® O-ring. This seals differential pressure between the tip and case effectively.
Additionally, the probe handles humid conditions exceptionally well. Testing shows less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF). This testing occurs in 93% humidity per IEC standard 68-2-3 for up to 56 days. The probe case is AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). The probe tip is molded from Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This provides thicker encapsulation of the coil for increased ruggedness against physical abuse.
Proper installation maximizes the lifespan and performance of the sensor. First, clean the mounting surface thoroughly before installation. The 3/8-24 UNF threads require careful alignment to avoid damage. Next, thread the probe into the mounting hole by hand to prevent cross-threading. Tighten it to the recommended torque specifications.
Additionally, handle the 1.0-meter cable with care to prevent damage. Avoid sharp bends that could compromise the insulation. The Miniature ClickLoc connector should lock securely into place. This ensures a reliable electrical connection. Finally, set the initial gap to the recommended -9 Vdc. This provides optimal performance for radial vibration monitoring.

1. What makes this probe suitable for hazardous areas?
The 330101-00-08-10-02-05 carries the '05' agency approval option. This includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Therefore, it meets strict safety requirements for explosive atmospheres.
2. What is the total length of the probe cable?
The total length option '10' indicates a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) cable. This is suitable for installations where the Proximitor sensor is located close to the probe.
3. What is the advantage of the 8 mm probe design?
The 8 mm probe provides a thicker PPS plastic encapsulation around the coil. Therefore, it offers a more rugged probe body. The larger diameter also provides a stronger, more robust case against physical abuse.
4. How does the standard cable differ from FluidLoc?
This model uses the '02' standard cable option. The FluidLoc option prevents oil leakage through the cable interior. The standard cable is sufficient for most general-purpose applications.
5. What is the recommended gap setting for this probe?
The recommended gap setting for radial vibration is -9 Vdc. This corresponds to approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target surface. This setting ensures optimal linearity and system performance.
