Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-10-02-00 Reverse Mount Probe

Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-10-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Reverse Mount Probe

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-10-02-00 belongs to the 3300 XL 8 mm reverse mount probe family. This model uses M10 x 1 threads and has a 1.0-meter (3.3 feet) total length. The -02 connector option provides a miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector. Agency approval option 00 indicates no hazardous area certifications are required. Choose this version for standard, non-classified environments only.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-10-02-00 features a Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip. The probe case uses AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST). Maximum thread engagement length for M10x1 threads is 15 mm.

Nominal probe DC resistance from center conductor to outer conductor is 7.59 ± 0.50 ohms for the 1.0m length.

Standard cable uses 75Ω triaxial with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. Available total probe lengths include 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, or 9 meters. Extended temperature range cable uses perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) insulation. Length options for PFA are 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 5, or 9 meters.

Optional armor uses flexible AISI 302 or 304 SST with an FEP outer jacket. The connector material is gold-plated brass or gold-plated beryllium copper.

Tensile Strength Ratings

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-10-02-00 has specific maximum tensile strength ratings:

• 330 N (75 lbf) from probe case to probe lead

• 270 N (60 lbf) at probe lead to extension cable connectors

Therefore, always handle the probe carefully during installation. Never pull directly on the cable. Use the probe case for tension relief.

Temperature & Environmental Parameters

Standard operating and storage temperature ranges from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).

Extended temperature range capabilities:

• Probe tip: -52°C to +218°C (-62°F to +425°F)

• Probe cable and connector: -51°C to +260°C (-60°F to +500°F)

A critical warning: exposing the probe below -34°C (-30°F) for a sustained period may cause premature failure of the pressure seal.

Probe relative humidity performance: less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested at 93% humidity per IEC standard 68-2-3 for up to 56 days.

Pressure Sealing Information

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-10-02-00 seals differential pressure between probe tip and case. A Viton® O-ring provides this sealing function.

Important note: probes are not pressure tested prior to shipment. Contact the custom design department if your application requires a pressure seal test.

Mechanical Specifications

Probe weight is 323 g per meter (11.4 oz per meter). For the 1.0m length, the probe weighs approximately 0.32 kg.

Agency Approval Note

The -00 agency approval option means this probe carries no hazardous area certifications. It is not rated for Class I, Division 1, Division 2, Zone 0, or Zone 2 installations. Use this version only in non-hazardous, general purpose locations.

For hazardous area installations, select option -05 (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) instead.

Installation Guidelines

Follow these steps for proper installation:

• First, verify the M10x1 threads match your mounting hole.

• Next, check the maximum thread engagement of 15 mm.

• Then, apply recommended torque without exceeding limits.

• Finally, secure the ClickLoc connector until you hear a click.

Additionally, consider whether your application needs optional armor. Armor adds protection in high-wear areas. However, it also increases cable stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does the -00 agency approval mean for this 330106-05-30-10-02-00?
The -00 option means no hazardous area certifications. Use this probe only in non-classified, general purpose environments. For hazardous locations, order the -05 version instead.

2. Can I use the standard cable version in high-temperature areas?
Standard FEP cable works up to 177°C. For tip temperatures up to 218°C or cable temperatures up to 260°C, order the extended temperature range PFA cable option.

3. Is the probe pressure tested before shipment?
No, it is not. Bently Nevada does not perform pressure testing on standard probes. Contact their custom design department if your specific application requires a pressure seal test.

4. What is the difference between this and the 330106-05-30-10-02-05 model?
Both models have identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The only difference is agency approvals. The -05 version includes CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous area certifications. The -00 version has no certifications.

5. Does the M10x1 thread option fit standard 3300 XL mounting holes?
Yes, M10x1 is a standard thread option for 3300 XL 8mm probes. However, verify your mounting hole thread type before ordering. The other common option is 3/8-24 UNF. These are not interchangeable without adapters.
