Bently Nevada 330130-070-13-05 Armored Extension Cable

Bently Nevada 330130-070-13-05 Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The 330130-070-13-05 is a premium Bently Nevada extension cable that connects a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe to its Proximitor sensor. This 7.0-meter (22.9 feet) armored cable incorporates FluidLoc technology, which prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. Additionally, this model carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, making it suitable for hazardous area installations. The armored construction provides extra mechanical protection, while the gold-plated ClickLoc connectors ensure reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Electrical Characteristics

The 330130-070-13-05 maintains precise electrical parameters for system accuracy. The nominal DC resistance from center conductor to center conductor (RCORE) measures 1.54 ± 0.23 Ω. Similarly, the resistance from the outer conductor to the outer conductor (RJACKET) reads 0.46 ± 0.09 Ω. Moreover, the extension cable capacitance holds a typical value of 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) . These tightly controlled specifications preserve signal integrity over the 7.0-meter length.

Power and Output Requirements

The Proximitor sensor paired with this cable demands a power supply voltage between -17.5 Vdc and -26 Vdc when operating without barriers, drawing a maximum of 12 mA. However, when installing barriers, 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. Furthermore, the sensor offers a low output resistance of 50 Ω and demonstrates a supply sensitivity of less than 2 mV per volt change.

Connector and Mechanical Design

This extension cable features corrosion-resistant, gold-plated ClickLoc connectors that ensure a secure, vibration-proof connection. The armored construction provides enhanced protection against mechanical damage, making it ideal for harsh environments. Additionally, the FluidLoc option prevents oil migration through the cable interior, a critical feature for turbine and compressor applications. The cable also integrates with the patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs, with CableLoc delivering a pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf) to securely attach the probe cable to the probe tip.

Approvals and Certifications

The 330130-070-13-05 carries multiple international approvals for hazardous area use:

• CSA (Canadian Standards Association)

• ATEX (European Union explosion protection)

• IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission explosion protection)

These certifications make this extension cable suitable for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres, expanding its application range significantly.

Installation and Configuration

System Integration

This extension cable functions 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. For field wiring, use conductors 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 field wiring length 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 specified, the performance specifications 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 system maintains 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.
