Bently Nevada 330130-060-03-00 Extension Cable 6m

Bently Nevada 330130-060-03-00 Armored Extension Cable

Product Introduction

This genuine Bently Nevada extension cable connects the 3300 XL probe to the Proximitor sensor. The 330130-060-03-00 model measures 6.0 meters (19.7 feet) in length. It includes an armored outer jacket. The cable also comes with a connector protector for maximum durability. Its design matches the electrical requirements of 3300 XL 8 mm systems. This ensures consistent capacitance and resistance values. As a result, it provides accurate machinery condition monitoring.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330130-060-03-00 offers precise electrical characteristics. These maintain signal integrity throughout the system. The typical extension cable capacitance is 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft). This ensures reliable performance with compatible proximity probes. For DC resistance, the center conductor (RCORE) measures 1.32 ± 0.21 Ω. The outer conductor (RJACKET) shows 0.39 ± 0.08 Ω. These values apply to the 6.0-meter length. They are crucial for maintaining the system's linear range.

Furthermore, this extension cable works with the Proximitor sensor. The sensor requires a power supply between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc. This applies when installed without barriers. The maximum consumption is 12 mA. The supply sensitivity remains less than 2 mV per volt. The output resistance is fixed at 50 Ω. Such specifications guarantee that the cable 330130-060-03-00 does not degrade sensor performance. The system maintains its 2 mm (80 mils) linear range.

Mechanical and Environmental Features

This armored extension cable weighs approximately 0.618 kg. Its robust armor provides superior protection. It guards against physical damage and abrasion. This makes it suitable for installations near rotating machinery. The connectors incorporate a corrosion-resistant design. They feature gold-plated ClickLoc terminals. This ensures a secure and stable connection. It connects the probe, cable, and Proximitor sensor reliably. This design significantly reduces signal loss. Vibration or contamination will not easily affect it.

Additionally, the cable comes with silicone tape. You can use this tape instead of the connector protector. However, Bently Nevada advises against using this tape. Do not use it where the connection may contact turbine oil. The cable construction supports patented TipLoc and CableLoc methods. These provide 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. This securely attaches the cable and probe tip. For fluid exposure, consider the optional FluidLoc cable option. This prevents liquid leakage from the machine.

System Integration and Performance

When integrated into a complete 3300 XL 8 mm system, this cable contributes to system accuracy. The performance is typically measured at specific conditions. The ambient temperature should be +18˚C to +27˚C (+64˚F to +80˚F). The power supply should be -24 Vdc. The load should be 10 kΩ. The target for calibration is AISI 4140 steel. The probe is gapped at 1.25 mm (50 mils). The system's interchangeability specifications apply only with this standard target.

Moreover, the field wiring can extend up to 305 meters (1,000 feet). This is the distance between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor. Use a 3-conductor shielded triad cable. Signal rolloff at high frequencies may occur at longer lengths. The humidity tolerance is also noteworthy. The 330130-060-03-00 system shows less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF). This is after exposure to 93% humidity for up to 56 days. This testing follows IEC standard 68-2-3.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the Bently Nevada 330130-060-03-00 is straightforward. Start by disconnecting the power supply. This prevents any electrical hazards. Align the gold-plated connectors carefully. Tighten them securely using the ClickLoc mechanism. If you are not using the connector protector, apply the provided silicone tape. But remember to avoid this practice in oil-laden environments.

Next, route the armored cable properly. Keep it away from high-temperature surfaces. Avoid sharp edges as well. The armor provides substantial resilience, but caution is still wise. Mount the Proximitor sensor with the appropriate hardware. After installation, verify the power supply voltage. Ensure it remains within the required range. Operation at a voltage more positive than -23.5 Vdc may reduce the linear range. Precise calibration is therefore advised.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the exact length of the Bently Nevada 330130-060-03-00?
This cable is precisely 6.0 meters long. This is equivalent to 19.7 feet. The "060" length code in its model number indicates this.

2. Can I use this cable with a 3300 5 mm probe?
Yes, this extension cable is compatible with several probes. It works with non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm probes. It also works with 3300 8 mm and 3300 XL 8 mm probes.

3. Why is the armored option important for my application?
The armor provides enhanced mechanical protection. It guards against abrasion and impact. This makes the cable more durable in harsh environments. It is especially useful near rotating machinery.

4. Is the silicone tape suitable for all installations?
No, it is not suitable for all installations. We do not recommend it where the connection may contact turbine oil. The oil could degrade the tape's protective qualities.

5. How should I store this cable before installation?
Store it in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures as well. This preserves the integrity of the insulation and connectors.
