Bently Nevada 330730-080-13-00 Extension Cable

Bently Nevada 330730-080-13-00 Extension Cable

This 330730-080-13-00 extension cable belongs to the trusted 3300 XL 11 mm transducer family. It connects probes to Proximitor Sensors in rotating machinery protection systems. The cable measures 8.0 metres (26.2 feet) and carries the Armored FluidLoc option with connector protector.

Key Technical Specifications

The cable uses 75 Ω triaxial construction with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. Its typical capacitance reaches 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft). The center conductor to center conductor resistance is 2.0 ± 0.5 ohms, while the coaxial conductor resistance is 0.6 ± 0.2 ohms.

Additionally, the armored variant features flexible AISI 302 stainless steel with an FEP outer jacket. This armor protects the cable in harsh industrial environments. The FluidLoc option prevents oil and liquids from leaking through the cable interior.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The extension cable operates within a temperature range of -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +351°F). Its lightweight design weighs only 45 g/m for the standard version and 140 g/m for the armored version.

Moreover, all system components use gold-plated brass ClickLoc connectors. These connectors lock firmly into place and prevent loosening during operation. The patented TipLoc and CableLoc designs ensure robust probe tip bonding and 330 N (75 lb) pull strength.

Installation Guidelines

First, verify the total system length before mounting. The 3300 XL system requires matching probe, extension cable, and Proximitor Sensor lengths. The recommended gap setting is 2.5 mm (100 mils) with a linear range of 4.0 mm (160 mils).

Next, connect the extension cable between the probe and Proximitor Sensor. The ClickLoc connectors push and lock into position with a simple twist. Route the cable away from high-temperature sources and secure it with appropriate clamps.

Furthermore, the connector protector option adds environmental protection in humid or moist conditions. Bently Nevada recommends connector protectors for all installations. Silicone tape is also supplied with each cable as an alternative.

Finally, verify the field wiring between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor. Use three-conductor shielded triad cable with a maximum length of 305 metres (1,000 feet). Field wiring accepts 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) conductors.
