Bently Nevada 330130-060-12-05 Extension Cable 6m

Product Introduction

The 330130-060-12-05 is a precision extension cable from Bently Nevada's 3300 XL series. This cable measures 6.0 meters (19.7 feet) in length. It connects a 3300 XL proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor. Furthermore, the 330130-060-12-05 features the FluidLoc cable option. This design prevents oil and other liquids from leaking through the cable's interior. The cable incorporates gold-plated ClickLoc connectors. These connectors offer corrosion resistance and secure connections. Moreover, the cable carries multiple approvals. These include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. This makes it suitable for hazardous area installations.

Technical Specifications

Cable Construction and Materials

The 330130-060-12-05 uses high-quality materials for reliable performance. Its nominal capacitance measures 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) typical. The center conductor to center conductor resistance (RCORE) is 1.32 ± 0.21 Ω. The outer conductor to outer conductor resistance (RJACKET) is 0.39 ± 0.08 Ω. These precise electrical characteristics ensure accurate signal transmission. The cable also includes silicone tape. Users can apply this tape instead of connector protectors. However, the manufacturer does not recommend silicone tape for turbine oil applications.

Connector and Sealing Features

The 330130-060-12-05 uses the patented ClickLoc connector system. These connectors feature gold plating for corrosion resistance. This ensures reliable connections in harsh industrial environments. Additionally, the cable incorporates a patented CableLoc design. This provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength. Consequently, it securely attaches the probe cable and probe tip. The FluidLoc option adds an important sealing function. It prevents oil leakage through the cable's interior. This protects both the machine and the surrounding environment.

Compatibility and Approvals

The 330130-060-12-05 works with Bently Nevada 3300-series proximity probes. Specifically, it accepts 5 mm, 3300 8 mm, or 3300 XL 8 mm probes. The cable carries hazardous area approvals. These include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Therefore, it suits installations in explosive atmospheres. The cable weighs 34 g/m (0.4 oz/ft) for standard construction. The armored version weighs 103 g/m (1.5 oz/ft). This provides additional mechanical protection in demanding applications.

Mechanical and Environmental Specifications

The 330130-060-12-05 operates reliably across a wide temperature range. Bently Nevada specifies performance characteristics at +18°C to +27°C. However, the cable functions in more extreme industrial conditions. The connector protectors offer additional environmental sealing. The silicone tape alternative provides basic protection. Nevertheless, avoid using silicone tape in turbine oil environments. The FluidLoc option specifically addresses oil leakage concerns. This makes the cable particularly suitable for turbomachinery applications.

Installation and Setup Guide

1. Inspect the Cable
First, inspect the 330130-060-12-05 for any damage. Check the ClickLoc connectors for cleanliness. Ensure the gold-plated contacts are free from contamination. Any dirt or debris can affect signal quality.

2. Connect to the Probe
Next, connect one end of the 330130-060-12-05 to the 3300 XL probe. Align the connectors carefully. Then, secure them firmly using the ClickLoc mechanism. This ensures a reliable mechanical and electrical connection.

3. Connect to the Proximitor Sensor
Then, connect the other end to the Proximitor sensor. Again, use the ClickLoc mechanism for secure attachment. The Proximitor sensor accepts the extension cable input. This completes the transducer system.

4. Apply Cable Protection
Finally, apply the included silicone tape if needed. Alternatively, use a connector protector. For applications exposed to turbine oil, choose the FluidLoc design. This prevents oil leakage through the cable interior. Route the cable away from sharp edges and excessive heat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the length of the 330130-060-12-05 cable?
The 330130-060-12-05 measures 6.0 meters (19.7 feet) in length. The "060" in the part number indicates this specific length option. Other lengths are available under different part numbers.

2. What does the FluidLoc option provide?
The FluidLoc option prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. This is especially important for turbomachinery applications where oil leakage poses safety and environmental risks.

3. Is the 330130-060-12-05 suitable for hazardous areas?
Yes, the 330130-060-12-05 carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. These certifications confirm its suitability for installations in explosive atmospheres. Always verify the specific approval requirements for your location.

4. What probes are compatible with this cable?
The 330130-060-12-05 works with 3300-series 5 mm probes, 3300 8 mm probes, and 3300 XL 8 mm probes. The ClickLoc connectors ensure compatibility across the 3300 XL product line.

5. Does this cable include connector protectors?
The 330130-060-12-05 includes silicone tape as an alternative to connector protectors. For turbine oil applications, Bently Nevada recommends using the FluidLoc option instead of silicone tape.
