Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-05 Extension Cable 4.5m

Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-05 Armored Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The 330130-045-13-05 from Bently Nevada is a high-performance extension cable designed for the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system. This extension cable connects your 3300 XL probe to the Proximitor sensor, enabling accurate vibration and position measurements. A standout feature of this model is its armored construction with a FluidLoc cable option. This design prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable interior. Consequently, it offers superior protection in demanding turbine and compressor applications. The Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-05 measures 4.5 meters (14.8 feet) in length. It also includes a connector protector for added reliability. Additionally, this cable carries multiple approvals, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. These certifications make it suitable for installation in hazardous locations worldwide.

The cable incorporates patented technology that reflects improvements over previous designs. 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 and dependable performance in critical machinery monitoring applications.

Technical Specifications

The 330130-045-13-05 extension cable offers precise electrical characteristics for accurate signal transmission. Its nominal DC resistance from the center conductor to center conductor is 0.99 ± 0.15 Ω. Meanwhile, the resistance from the outer conductor to outer conductor is 0.30 ± 0.06 Ω. These low resistance values ensure minimal signal loss during operation. 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. 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. 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. 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 Environmental Compliance

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-05 holds several important certifications. These include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. Therefore, you can safely install it in potentially explosive atmospheres. The cable's FluidLoc option provides an additional layer of safety. It prevents oil and other process liquids from escaping through the cable interior. This feature is particularly valuable in turbine and compressor applications where oil leakage poses a risk. Additionally, the armored construction protects the cable from physical damage. This enhances its durability in harsh industrial environments.

Mechanical and Physical Properties

The cable's weight varies depending on the construction. A standard extension cable weighs approximately 34 g/m (0.4 oz/ft). In contrast, the armored extension cable weighs about 103 g/m (1.5 oz/ft). The total weight of the 330130-045-13-05 is approximately 0.618 kg. This weight reflects the armored construction and connector protector. The cable's rugged design ensures long service life in demanding conditions. Each cable includes silicone tape for connection protection. However, we do not recommend using silicone tape in applications that expose the probe-to-extension cable connection to turbine oil.

Installation Guidance

Installing the 330130-045-13-05 extension cable requires attention to detail. First, ensure the system is powered off before making any connections. Next, connect the cable to the 3300 XL probe and Proximitor sensor. Secure the connector protector to prevent loosening from vibration. If using the silicone tape, apply it carefully around the connection point. However, avoid using 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. 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.
