Bently Nevada 330130-060-13-05 Extension Cable 6.0m Armored

Bently Nevada 330130-060-13-05 Armored Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330130-060-13-05 extension cable provides a critical link between the 3300 XL proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor. Specifically, this model offers a 6.0-meter (19.7 feet) length with rugged armored construction. Furthermore, it includes the FluidLoc cable option, which effectively prevents oil and other liquids from migrating through the cable interior. Consequently, this design makes the 330130-060-13-05 particularly suitable for turbine and compressor applications where fluid exposure is a concern. Meanwhile, the included connector protector adds an extra layer of defense against contamination at the connection point. Therefore, this cable maintains signal integrity and extends the service life of your monitoring system.

Technical Specifications

The Bently Nevada 330130-060-13-05 meets stringent performance criteria for industrial machinery protection.

• Capacitance: The cable features a typical capacitance of 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft). This low value ensures minimal signal distortion over the cable run.

• DC Resistance (RCORE): The center conductor to center conductor resistance is 1.32 ± 0.21 Ω for the 6.0-meter length.

• DC Resistance (RJACKET): The outer conductor to outer conductor resistance is 0.39 ± 0.08 Ω.

• Connectors: Both ends feature corrosion-resistant, gold-plated ClickLoc connectors. These ensure a secure, low-resistance connection that withstands vibration.

• Pull Strength: The cable incorporates a patented CableLoc design, providing a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf). This robust attachment prevents accidental disconnection.

• Input Compatibility: Accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm, 3300 8 mm, or 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe.

• Linear Range: When used with a 3300 XL system, the linear range extends from 0.25 to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils), corresponding to approximately -1 to -17 Vdc.

Environmental and Mechanical Parameters

This extension cable is built to perform reliably under challenging industrial conditions.

• Armored Construction: The armored jacket provides excellent protection against physical damage, abrasion, and crushing. This durability reduces the risk of cable failure in harsh environments.

• FluidLoc Technology: This option prevents oil and other process liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. As a result, it enhances both safety and environmental compliance.

• Sealing: When used with 3300 XL 8 mm probes, the system utilizes a Viton O-ring to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and case.

• Humidity Resistance: The cable and probe system exhibit less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) when tested in 93% humidity per IEC standard 68-2-3 for up to 56 days.

• Temperature Range: Specifications are based on operation between +18°C and +27°C (+64°F to +80°F) at a maximum altitude of 2000 meters.

• Approvals: This model carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, making it suitable for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation of the 330130-060-13-05 ensures accurate and reliable vibration monitoring.

• Power Requirements: The Proximitor sensor requires -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc without barriers (12 mA max). When using barriers, the range is -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Operation at a more positive voltage than -23.5 Vdc may result in a reduced linear range.

• Field Wiring: Use 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) 3-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum length between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). For high-frequency applications, check the frequency response graphs for signal rolloff.

• Output Resistance: The output resistance is 50 Ω, matching standard monitoring system inputs.

• Connector Protection: Each cable includes silicone tape. However, Bently Nevada does not recommend using this tape in applications where the probe-to-cable connection is exposed to turbine oil. For such cases, the connector protector is the preferred solution.

• Gap Setting: For AISI 4140 steel targets, a probe gap of 1.27 mm (50 mils) is standard for optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the 330130-060-13-05 compatible with older 3300 series probes?
Yes, this cable accepts 3300-series 5 mm and 8 mm probes, as well as 3300 XL 8 mm probes. Its gold-plated ClickLoc connectors ensure a secure fit.

Q2: What is the advantage of the FluidLoc option on this cable?
The FluidLoc design prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable interior. This feature is essential for applications involving turbines and compressors, improving environmental safety.

Q3: Can I use the silicone tape instead of the connector protector?
Yes, you may use the silicone tape. However, Bently Nevada advises against using it for connections exposed to turbine oil. In such environments, use the supplied connector protector for better reliability.

Q4: What approvals does the 330130-060-13-05 carry?
This cable has CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. Therefore, it is suitable for use in hazardous areas requiring explosion-proof instrumentation.

Q5: How do I determine if I need the armored or standard version?
Choose the armored version (like the 330130-060-13-05) when the cable will be routed through areas with high risk of physical damage, such as sharp edges, heavy foot traffic, or moving machinery. For less demanding environments, the standard extension cable may suffice.
