330130-060-11-00 Bently Nevada Armored Cable

330130-060-11-00 Bently Nevada Armored Cable

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-00 is a high-performance extension cable specifically designed for use with 3300-series 5 mm, 3300 8 mm, and 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes and Proximitor sensors. This armored extension cable measures 6.0 meters (19.7 feet) and includes the FluidLoc option, which effectively prevents oil and other machine fluids from leaking through the cable's interior.

Manufactured in the U.S.A., this 3300 XL extension cable incorporates several patented design improvements. The CableLoc design delivers a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf), ensuring a secure attachment between the probe cable and the probe tip. Additionally, the TipLoc molding method creates a robust bond at the probe tip, enhancing durability in harsh environments.

Furthermore, this model uses corrosion-resistant, gold-plated ClickLoc connectors on the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor. These connectors provide excellent signal integrity and resist oxidation, making them ideal for long-term installations. For applications not exposed to turbine oil, the included silicone tape offers an alternative to connector protectors. However, Bently Nevada advises against using silicone tape in oil-exposed areas.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

• Accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm, 3300 8 mm, or 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe.

• Designed for use with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitors.

• Field wiring: 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG), with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between sensor and monitor.

Installation Guidelines

For proper installation of the Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-00, follow these recommendations:

1. Connector Care: Ensure the gold-plated ClickLoc connectors are clean and dry before mating. Align the connectors carefully and tighten them securely by hand—do not use tools that may damage the threads.

2. Cable Routing: Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the armored jacket. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 50 mm (2 inches) to preserve signal integrity.

3. FluidLoc Seal: When using the FluidLoc option, verify that the cable's interior seal is intact to prevent oil migration. This is especially critical in turbine and compressor installations.

4. Probe Gapping: For optimal linear range (0.25 to 2.3 mm / 10 to 90 mils), gap the probe at 1.27 mm (50 mils) against an AISI 4140 steel target, using a –24 Vdc power supply and a 10 kΩ load.

5. Silicone Tape Use: Apply the included silicone tape only if the connection will not be exposed to turbine oil. For oil-exposed areas, use the connector protectors instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which probes are compatible with the Bently Nevada 330130-060-11-00?
A: This 3300 XL extension cable works with 3300-series 5 mm, 3300 8 mm, and 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes and Proximitor sensors.

Q2: What is the purpose of the FluidLoc option on this armored cable?
A: The FluidLoc design prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior, which is essential for turbine and compressor applications where oil migration is a concern.

Q3: Can I use the included silicone tape instead of connector protectors?
A: Yes, but Bently Nevada does not recommend silicone tape for connections exposed to turbine oil. For such environments, use the connector protectors to ensure reliable sealing.

Q4: What is the maximum field wiring length between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor?
A: The maximum recommended length is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Longer runs may cause signal rolloff at high frequencies—refer to the frequency response graphs in the product manual for details.

Q5: How does the 330130-060-11-00 perform in humid conditions?
A: This cable maintains less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) after 56 days of exposure to 93% relative humidity, per IEC standard 68-2-3, ensuring reliable operation in humid environments.
