Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-00 Extension Cable 6.0m

Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-00 Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The 330130-060-00-00 is a genuine Bently Nevada extension cable that interfaces seamlessly between a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe and its corresponding Proximitor sensor. This 6.0-meter (19.7 feet) cable serves as a critical component of the vibration monitoring system, transmitting the high-frequency signal from the probe tip to the sensor for processing. This model features standard construction and offers robust performance for a wide range of industrial monitoring applications.

Technical Specifications

Electrical Characteristics

The electrical parameters of the Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-00 precisely define system accuracy. The nominal DC resistance from center conductor to center conductor (RCORE) measures 1.32 ± 0.21 Ω. Similarly, the resistance from the outer conductor to the outer conductor (RJACKET) reads 0.39 ± 0.08 Ω. Additionally, the extension cable capacitance holds a typical value of 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) . This precise impedance matching maintains signal integrity over the cable's entire length.

Power and Output Requirements

The Proximitor sensor paired with this cable requires a power supply voltage between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc when installed without barriers, drawing a maximum of 12 mA. However, when barriers are in use, the supply voltage must fall between -23 Vdc and -26 Vdc. Operating at a more positive voltage than -23.5 Vdc will reduce the linear range. Moreover, the sensor offers a low output resistance of 50 Ω and exhibits a supply sensitivity of less than 2 mV per volt change.

Connector and Mechanical Design

A key feature of the 330130-060-00-00 is its corrosion-resistant, gold-plated ClickLoc connectors. This design ensures a secure and reliable connection, preventing signal loss due to vibration or corrosion. Furthermore, the cable works seamlessly with the patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs found in 3300 XL probes. The CableLoc design delivers a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf) , securely attaching the probe cable to the probe tip. For additional protection, each cable includes silicone tape as an alternative to connector protectors, though we do not recommend its use in applications exposing connections to turbine oil.

Installation and Configuration

System Integration

This extension cable operates as part of a 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor system. It accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm, 3300 8 mm, or 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe. When connecting the system, use field wiring between 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) . We recommend using a 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned wiring. Keep the maximum length of field wiring between the Proximitor Sensor and the monitor under 305 meters (1,000 feet) to prevent high-frequency signal rolloff.

Environmental and Performance Conditions

Unless otherwise noted, the performance specifications for the 330130-060-00-00 reflect a system operating between +18˚C and +27˚C (+64˚F to +80˚F) at a maximum altitude of 2000 meters. These ratings assume a -24 Vdc power supply, a 10 kΩ load, and an AISI 4140 steel target with a probe gap of 1.27 mm (50 mils). The system delivers a linear range of 2 mm (80 mils) , beginning from approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target. Additionally, the 3300 XL 8 mm probes seal differential pressure between the probe tip and case using a Viton® O-ring.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the exact length of the Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-00?
The 330130-060-00-00 has a length of exactly 6.0 meters, which is equivalent to approximately 19.7 feet.

2. Which probes are compatible with this extension cable?
This extension cable works with 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probes and other non-contacting 3300-series 5mm and 8mm probes that use the standard ClickLoc connector.

3. What is the weight of the 330130-060-00-00?
The standard cable weighs 0.204 kg. We also offer an armored version that weighs 0.618 kg.

4. Can I use the included silicone tape with this extension cable in all environments?
No. While we provide silicone tape, Bently Nevada advises against using it where the probe-to-extension cable connection will face exposure to turbine oil. Use standard connector protectors instead.

5. What is the maximum operating voltage for a system using this extension cable?
The Proximitor sensor requires a power supply between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc without barriers. Remember that operating at a voltage more positive than -23.5 Vdc will reduce the linear range, so set your power supply accordingly.
