Bently Nevada 330130-040-02-00 Extension Cable 4.0m

Bently Nevada 330130-040-02-00 Standard Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The 330130-040-02-00 from Bently Nevada is a reliable extension cable designed for the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system. This cable connects your 3300 XL probe to the Proximitor sensor, enabling precise vibration and position measurements. This particular model features a standard cable construction with a connector protector. The Bently Nevada 330130-040-02-00 measures 4.0 meters (11.5 feet) in length. Therefore, it offers a cost-effective solution for applications that do not require armored protection or hazardous area approvals.

Additionally, the cable incorporates patented design improvements. For instance, the TipLoc molding method ensures a 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 probe tip. As a result, the entire assembly delivers consistent performance in critical machinery monitoring applications. Meanwhile, each cable includes silicone tape for connection protection. However, we do not recommend using this tape in applications that expose the connection to turbine oil.

Technical Specifications

The 330130-040-02-00 extension cable offers precise electrical characteristics for accurate signal transmission. Its nominal DC resistance from the center conductor to center conductor is 0.88 ± 0.13 Ω. Meanwhile, the resistance from the outer conductor to outer conductor is 0.26 ± 0.05 Ω. These low resistance values ensure minimal signal loss during operation. Moreover, the cable's typical capacitance is 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft). This consistent capacitance supports reliable system performance across the specified length.

The cable works with the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and 8 mm probe. Specifically, the system operates within a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils). This range begins at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target. Furthermore, it extends from 0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils), corresponding to approximately –1 to –17 Vdc output. For optimal performance, the system requires a power supply between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc. With barriers installed, the range is -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Additionally, the supply sensitivity is less than 2 mV change in output voltage per volt change in input voltage. The output resistance is 50 Ω.

Approvals and Compliance

The Bently Nevada 330130-040-02-00 carries the 00 approval code. This indicates that no hazardous area certifications are required for this model. Therefore, it is suitable for general-purpose installations in non-classified areas. However, for applications requiring CSA, ATEX, or IECEx approvals, please consider other variants in the 3300 XL extension cable family. Meanwhile, the standard cable construction provides reliable performance in typical industrial environments without the added cost of specialized certifications.

Mechanical and Physical Properties

The cable's weight depends on the construction type. A standard extension cable weighs approximately 34 g/m (0.4 oz/ft). Consequently, the total weight of the 330130-040-02-00 is approximately 0.204 kg. This lightweight design simplifies installation and routing. Additionally, the cable includes a connector protector for added reliability. This protector safeguards the connection point from contaminants and mechanical stress. Meanwhile, each cable also includes silicone tape for sealing. However, avoid using this tape in turbine oil applications. Instead, use the connector protector exclusively in such environments.

Installation Guidance

Installing the 330130-040-02-00 extension cable requires careful attention. First, ensure the system is powered off before making any connections. Next, connect the cable to the 3300 XL probe and Proximitor sensor. After that, secure the connector protector to prevent loosening from vibration. If using the silicone tape, apply it carefully around the connection point. However, avoid this tape in oil-exposed areas. For field wiring, use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) conductors. We recommend using 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring. Meanwhile, the maximum length between the Proximitor sensor and monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Finally, verify all connections are tight and properly insulated before powering on the system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the length of the 330130-040-02-00 extension cable?
This cable measures 4.0 meters (11.5 feet). The "040" in the part number indicates this specific length option.

2. What approvals does this Bently Nevada cable carry?
The 330130-040-02-00 carries the 00 approval code, meaning no hazardous area certifications are required. Therefore, it is suitable for general-purpose installations only.

3. What is the difference between standard and armored cables?
Standard cables offer lightweight construction for typical environments. Meanwhile, armored cables provide additional mechanical protection for harsh conditions. The 330130-040-02-00 is a standard cable without armored shielding.

4. Can I use the included silicone tape with turbine oil?
No. Bently Nevada does not recommend silicone tape for applications that expose the connection to turbine oil. Instead, use the connector protector exclusively in such cases.

5. What is the maximum field wiring length for this system?
The maximum length between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). However, for high-frequency applications, consult the frequency response graphs for signal rolloff information.
