Technical Specifications 31000-16-05-00-059-02-02

Probe Compatibility
This housing is designed exclusively for the 3300 XL 8 mm probe (Option 16). This ensures a perfect fit and optimal performance for your vibration monitoring system.

Cable and Penetration
The unit includes a 0.5 m (20 in) probe cable (Option 05). Additionally, the probe penetration is precisely set at 5.9 inches (Option 059), offering the exact depth required for many standard installations.

Fittings and Mounting
This model features two 3/4-14 NPT fittings and one plug (Option 02). The mounting thread is also a 3/4-14 NPT (Option 02), which is required for this configuration. This standardizes the installation process and simplifies the connection to your existing piping or conduit.

Environmental Protection
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-059-02-02 excels in harsh conditions. It has a Type 4X rating certified by CSA and an IP66 rating verified by SC115582-1 (e) 106. Moreover, it meets the CENELEC standard EN50014 for electrostatic dissipation in hazardous areas. These certifications ensure the housing protects the probe against dust, water ingress, and corrosion.

Mechanical & Environmental Parameters

Durable Material Construction
The housing is crafted from glass-reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic containing conductive fibers. This provides outstanding chemical resistance and dimensional stability. Meanwhile, the sleeve and retaining chain are made from AISI 304 stainless steel, and the outer sleeve and exterior screws use AISI 303 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.

Temperature and Impact Ratings
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-05-00-059-02-02 can operate within a wide temperature range of -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F). It also boasts impressive impact strength. BASEEFA certified it to withstand two separate 4 Joule impacts at -39°C and 115°C. Furthermore, the CSA verified samples to withstand a 7 Joule impact at ambient temperature.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting Procedure
First, ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat. Next, secure the housing using the provided retaining nut and apply the recommended torque of 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb). This precise torque value is crucial for achieving a proper seal and maintaining the housing's integrity.

Probe Installation
Carefully insert the 3300 XL 8 mm probe into the housing. The 5.9-inch penetration (Option 059) is pre-configured, so minimal adjustment is needed. However, always verify the probe's gap voltage after installation as per Bently Nevada's standard procedures.

Cable Management
Connect the probe cable through the designated fittings. Use the two 3/4-14 NPT fittings to route the cable safely, and seal the unused port with the provided plug. Finally, ensure all connections are tight to maintain the IP66 and Type 4X integrity.
