The 330130-040-13-00 extension cable belongs to Bently Nevada's premium 3300 XL series. This armored cable connects 8 mm proximity probes to Proximitor sensors, enabling precise vibration and position measurements. Its 4.0‑meter length offers installation flexibility, while the armored construction provides superior mechanical protection. Additionally, this cable incorporates FluidLoc technology to prevent liquid leakage through the cable interior. The 330130-040-13-00 is therefore an excellent choice for demanding turbine and compressor monitoring applications.
The 330130-040-13-00 features an armored FluidLoc cable with a connector protector. The armor provides enhanced resistance to physical damage, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The armored extension cable weighs 103 g/m (1.5 oz/ft), with a total weight of 0.618 kg for the 4.0‑meter length. By comparison, standard non‑armored cables weigh only 34 g/m. This additional weight reflects the rugged construction and superior protection offered by this model.
This extension cable maintains precise electrical properties essential for accurate proximity measurements. The nominal DC resistance from center conductor to center conductor (RCORE) is 0.88 ± 0.13 Ω. Meanwhile, the resistance from outer conductor to outer conductor (RJACKET) measures 0.26 ± 0.05 Ω. Furthermore, the cable capacitance is 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) typical. These specifications ensure consistent system performance when paired with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors.
The 330130-040-13-00 carries a 00 approval code, indicating that no specific hazardous area approvals are required for this configuration. This makes it suitable for standard industrial environments where ATEX or CSA certifications are not mandatory. For applications requiring hazardous area approvals, consider other options in the 3300 XL series with appropriate certification codes.
Manufactured in the U.S.A., this cable meets Bently Nevada's rigorous quality standards. It operates effectively between +18°C and +27°C (+64°F to +80°F) at a maximum altitude of 2000 meters. The probe features patented TipLoc molding, creating a robust bond between the probe tip and body. Additionally, the CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, ensuring the probe cable and tip remain securely attached even under stress. The probe sealing material consists of a Viton® O‑ring, which seals differential pressure between the probe tip and case.
When used with 3300 XL 8 mm components, the 330130-040-13-00 delivers reliable monitoring performance. The linear range spans 2 mm (80 mils), beginning at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target. Output voltage ranges from –1 to –17 Vdc over this linear range. The power supply requirement is -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc at 12 mA maximum consumption. Operation at voltages more positive than -23.5 Vdc may reduce the linear range. The output resistance is 50 Ω, while supply sensitivity remains below 2 mV change per volt change in input voltage.
This cable system demonstrates exceptional environmental resilience. Specifically, the Average Scale Factor (ASF) changes by less than 3% when tested in 93% humidity for up to 56 days, in accordance with IEC standard 68‑2‑3. This performance ensures stable, accurate measurements even in humid or harsh operating conditions commonly found in power generation and petrochemical facilities.
Installing the 330130-040-13-00 extension cable requires careful adherence to best practices. First, always power down the monitoring system before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Next, attach the extension cable to the 3300 XL 8 mm probe using the FluidLoc connector. Then, connect the opposite end to the Proximitor sensor. Ensure all connections are clean and dry to maintain signal integrity. For field wiring, use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) 3‑conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring. The maximum field wiring length is 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the sensor and monitor.
Each 3300 XL extension cable includes silicone tape as an alternative to connector protectors. However, do not use silicone tape where the probe‑to‑extension cable connection will be exposed to turbine oil, as this may compromise the seal. For applications requiring pressure seal testing, contact Bently Nevada's custom design department directly.
