330190-080-01-05 Bently Nevada Armored Extension Cable

330190-080-01-05 Bently Nevada Armored Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330190-080-01-05 is a high-performance extension cable from the renowned 3300 XL series, specifically designed for mission-critical applications in hazardous environments. This model stands out with its Agency Approval Option 05, which includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications for explosive atmospheres. The 330190-080-01-05 offers an 8.0-meter length, providing greater flexibility in system layout and sensor placement. Its armored construction delivers superior resistance against mechanical impacts, abrasion, and crushing forces commonly found in industrial settings. Furthermore, the extended temperature range capability ensures dependable operation in both extreme heat and cold.

Technical Specifications of the 330190-080-01-05

The 330190-080-01-05 delivers precise electrical performance essential for accurate proximity measurements. The nominal DC resistance from the center conductor (RCORE) is 1.76 ± 0.26 Ω. Similarly, the outer conductor resistance (RJACKET) measures 0.53 ± 0.11 Ω. Additionally, the typical capacitance is 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft), consistent across the 3300 XL cable family. These electrical parameters guarantee signal integrity over the full 8.0-meter length. The cable uses gold-plated brass or beryllium copper connectors, which provide excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. Moreover, the maximum connector torque is 0.565 N•m (5 in•lbf), a critical specification for proper installation.

Hazardous Area Certifications

A defining feature of the 330190-080-01-05 is its comprehensive approval suite for dangerous locations. This model holds three key certifications: CSA for the North American market, ATEX for European compliance, and IECEx for international acceptance. These approvals confirm that the 3300 XL ETR cable meets the rigorous safety requirements for installation in Zone 1, Zone 2, and other classified hazardous areas. Therefore, the 330190-080-01-05 is the ideal choice for applications in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, and gas processing facilities. The certifications are permanently marked on the cable jacket for easy identification and regulatory compliance.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The 330190-080-01-05 excels in demanding thermal environments, operating reliably from -52°C to +260°C (-62°F to +500°F). This extended range is achieved through PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) insulation, which offers superior thermal stability compared to standard FEP materials. The armored version weighs approximately 103 g/m (1.5 oz/ft), providing substantial mechanical protection without compromising flexibility. Additionally, the cable features a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch), which must be strictly observed during installation to prevent internal conductor stress. This robust construction ensures long-term reliability in high-vibration machinery applications.

Compliance and Industry Standards

Beyond hazardous area certifications, the 330190-080-01-05 meets multiple international regulatory standards. It complies with FCC Part 15 rules for electromagnetic emissions. For the European market, it adheres to the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, meeting both EN 61000-6-2 (immunity) and EN 61000-6-4 (emissions) standards. For maritime installations, it satisfies the 2019 Rules for Conditions of Classification for both ships and offshore structures. In functional safety applications, the 3300 XL ETR cable supports SIL 2 (HFT = 0) and SIL 3 (HFT = 1) rated systems, making it suitable for safety-critical monitoring loops.

Installation Guidelines for the 330190-080-01-05

Proper installation of the 330190-080-01-05 ensures optimal performance and maintains its certified safety integrity. First, always respect the minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) during cable routing to avoid damaging the triaxial conductors. Second, apply the recommended connector torque of exactly 0.565 N•m (5 in•lbf) – excessive force can damage the gold-plated connector interface. For field wiring connections, use a 3-conductor shielded triad cable with 16 to 24 AWG tinned conductors. The maximum total field wiring length between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Additionally, consult the frequency response graphs (Figures 10 and 12) to assess high-frequency signal roll-off when using extended wiring runs. Finally, configure the recommended gap voltage to -9 Vdc for standard radial vibration measurements.
