Bently Nevada 330730-080-13-05 Extension Cable

Bently Nevada 330730-080-13-05 Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The 330730-080-13-05 is an extension cable from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series. This 11 mm cable links a proximity probe to a Proximitor Sensor. Moreover, it carries vibration and position signals in turbine, compressor, and generator monitoring systems.

Plant technicians prefer this model for its armored FluidLoc design. The 330730-080-13-05 offers an 8.0 metre length, which equals 26.2 feet. In addition, the connector protector shields the ClickLoc joint in humid or oily environments. Furthermore, multiple approvals support use in regulated industrial sites.

Technical Specifications

The extension cable uses 75 Ω triaxial construction with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. Its optional armor is flexible AISI 302 stainless steel with an FEP outer jacket. Additionally, all transducer system components carry gold-plated brass ClickLoc connectors.

Main parameters appear below:

• Cable Length: 8.0 metres (26.2 feet) (red)

• Connector and Cable Option: Armored FluidLoc cable with connector protector (blue)

• Agency Approval: Multiple Approvals (red)

• Capacitance: 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) typical (blue)

• Core Resistance: 2.0 ± 0.5 ohms

• Jacket Resistance: 0.6 ± 0.2 ohms

• Operating and Storage Temperature: -51°C to +177°C (blue)

The 8.0 metre length gives a core resistance of 2.0 ohms. Meanwhile, the jacket resistance stays near 0.6 ohms. These values help technicians confirm cable health after installation.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The extension cable weighs 45 g/m in standard form. Armored versions weigh 140 g/m. Therefore, an 8.0 metre armored cable weighs roughly 1.12 kg before packing.

Operating and storage temperature spans -52°C to +177°C. The FEP insulation resists oil, moisture, and most industrial chemicals. Besides, the flexible AISI 302 armor protects the cable from abrasion and crushing.

Field wiring accepts 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG). With ferrules, the range narrows to 0.25 to 0.75 mm² (18 to 23 AWG). Bently Nevada recommends a three-conductor shielded triad cable. The maximum field wiring length between the Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is 305 metres (1,000 feet).

Linear range reaches 4.0 mm (160 mils). This range begins about 0.5 mm (20 mils) from the target and extends to 4.5 mm (180 mils). The extended DSL range covers 0.5 to 5.0 mm (20 to 200 mils). However, this extended range does not apply when using zener barriers. The recommended gap setting is 2.5 mm (100 mils).

Key Design Features

ClickLoc connectors lock into place and prevent loosening. The patented TipLoc molding method creates a strong bond between probe tip and body. Meanwhile, the patented CableLoc design holds the cable to the probe tip with 330 N (75 lb) pull strength.

The FluidLoc cable option stops oil and other liquids from leaking through the cable interior. Connector protectors add extra protection in humid or moist areas. Bently Nevada recommends them for all installations. Silicone tape ships with each extension cable as an alternative. However, do not use silicone tape where turbine oil contacts the probe-to-cable joint.

Installation Guide

First, confirm the cable length and connector type against the system drawing. Next, mate the ClickLoc connector to the probe cable until it locks. Then, slide the connector protector over the joint.

Route the armored cable away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. After that, secure it with clamps at regular intervals. Finally, measure core and jacket resistance to verify a healthy circuit.
