Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 Extension Cable

Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 is a specialized extension cable engineered for the 3300 XL series monitoring platform. This 8.0-meter (26.2 feet) cable connects your non-contacting proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate vibration and position data transmission. What sets this model apart is the "10" option, which signifies the inclusion of the patented FluidLoc cable design.

This FluidLoc feature actively prevents oil and other process liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. Consequently, the Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 provides a critical sealing function that protects both your equipment and the environment. Furthermore, this cable carries the "05" approval code, meaning it is certified for use in hazardous locations, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

FluidLoc Technology and Leak Prevention

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 incorporates a significant advancement over standard cables: the FluidLoc option. This design is particularly beneficial when the probe cable passes through a pressure boundary, such as in a turbine casing. It effectively seals the cable, preventing oil, water, or other liquids from escaping the machine interior.

Therefore, this feature not only maintains a cleaner work environment but also helps avoid potential safety hazards associated with fluid leaks. Additionally, it protects the internal cable conductors from contamination, which could degrade signal quality over time. For installations where fluid containment is a priority, this FluidLoc cable provides a robust and reliable solution.

Hazardous Area Approvals

The "05" approval code on the Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 indicates it meets stringent international safety standards. Specifically, it is certified by CSA, ATEX, and IECEx for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. This allows you to install the cable in Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 hazardous areas with confidence.

Furthermore, the system requires a -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc power supply when installed with a nonincendive circuit per drawing 140979. When barriers are used, the voltage range is -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Always ensure your installation complies with all relevant local and international regulations for explosive environments.

System Integration and Performance

Proper system integration is essential to achieve the full capability of the Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05. The entire 3300 XL system, including this cable, is performance-calibrated using an AISI 4140 steel target and a -24 Vdc power supply. The linear range is 2 mm (80 mils), spanning from approximately 0.25 mm to 2.3 mm (10 to 90 mils), which corresponds to a -1 to -17 Vdc output.

For the field wiring between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor, we recommend using a 3-conductor shielded triad cable (0.2 to 1.5 mm2 / 16 to 24 AWG). The maximum distance is 305 meters (1,000 feet). Remember, the Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 uses gold-plated ClickLoc connectors to ensure a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection that maintains signal integrity.

Installation and Environmental Durability

Installing the Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05 requires careful attention to ensure the FluidLoc seal functions correctly. First, connect the cable to the probe and sensor using the ClickLoc connectors until they snap securely into place. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends that could damage the internal structure or compromise the seal.

The cable and system are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. For instance, the system demonstrates less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) after 56 days of exposure to 93% humidity, per IEC 68-2-3. Additionally, the 3300 XL probes feature a Viton® O-ring to seal differential pressure at the tip. While probes are not pressure tested at the factory, you can contact Bently Nevada's custom design department if you require specific testing for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the FluidLoc feature on the Bently Nevada 330130-080-10-05?
FluidLoc is a patented cable design that prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. This feature is crucial for turbine and compressor applications where the cable passes through a pressure boundary.

2. What hazardous area certifications does this cable hold?
The 330130-080-10-05 carries the "05" approval code. This means it is certified by CSA, ATEX, and IECEx for safe installation in potentially explosive atmospheres (Zones 0, 1, and 2).

3. Is this cable compatible with all 3300 series probes?
Yes, this cable accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm or 3300 8 mm probe. However, it is primarily designed for use with the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe for optimal system performance.

4. Can I use the silicone tape instead of the connector protector on this FluidLoc cable?
While silicone tape is included with each 3300 XL extension cable, we do not recommend using it in applications where the connection will be exposed to turbine oil. The FluidLoc feature is the primary sealing mechanism for this application.

5. What is the maximum distance between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor?
The maximum recommended field wiring length between the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and the monitor is 305 meters (1,000 feet). For high-frequency signals, you should consult the frequency response graphs to account for signal rolloff when using longer runs.
