Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00 Extension Cable
Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00 is a high-performance extension cable specifically designed for the 3300 NSv proximity probe system. Therefore, this 6.0-meter (19.7 feet) cable serves as the critical link between the probe tip and the Proximitor Sensor. Consequently, its precise electrical characteristics are vital for maintaining the system's overall accuracy. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this model comes without stainless steel armor, making it suitable for standard industrial environments where flexibility and weight are key considerations.
Technical Specifications
This section details the core technical parameters of the *330930-060-00-00* model. First, its construction uses 75 Ω coaxial cable with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulation. FEP offers excellent dielectric properties and chemical resistance. Furthermore, the connector material is gold-plated brass, ensuring a secure and corrosion-resistant connection. The cable's DC resistance is precisely specified: the center conductor measures (Red: 0.220 Ω/m or 0.067 Ω/ft), while the shield measures (Red: 0.066 Ω/m or 0.020 Ω/ft). Its typical capacitance is (Red: 69.9 pF/m or 21.3 pF/ft).
System Integration and Length Rules
When integrating this extension cable, you must adhere to specific system rules. For instance, the total length of the extension cable and the probe must equal the Proximitor Sensor's total required length. Always verify this combined length to ensure the system operates within its specified linear range. The linear range for this system is (Red: 1.5 mm or 60 mils), starting from approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target. The recommended gap setting is (Red: 1.0 mm or 40 mils), which produces a nominal DC voltage output.
Environmental and Mechanical Ratings
The Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00 is designed for harsh industrial conditions. Specifically, its operating and storage temperature range is (Red: -52°C to +177°C or -62°F to +351°F). This wide tolerance makes it ideal for environments like turbine decks. Moreover, the cable has a maximum rated tensile strength of (Red: 220 N or 50 lb) at the probe case, lead, and connectors, providing significant pull strength. Although this specific configuration (Option 00) is without armor, an optional flexible AISI 302 SST armor is available for other models requiring extra mechanical protection.
Field Wiring and Compatibility
Proper field wiring is crucial for optimal performance with the *330930-060-00-00*. We recommend using a three-conductor shielded triad cable for the field wiring segment. The acceptable wire gauge ranges from (Red: 0.2 to 1.5 mm² or 16 to 24 AWG), or (Red: 0.25 to 0.75 mm² or 18 to 23 AWG) when using ferrules. Additionally, the maximum allowable length between the 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor and the monitor is (Red: 305 meters or 1,000 feet). However, for longer field wiring lengths, you must consult the frequency response graphs (Figure 16 and Figure 17) to check for high-frequency signal rolloff.
Installation and Handling Guidelines
Installing the Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00 requires careful handling to maintain signal integrity. Do not exceed the 220 N (50 lb) tensile strength limits at any connection point. Furthermore, ensure the connectors are fully mated and tightened to the recommended torque to prevent intermittent signals. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-voltage sources or extreme heat beyond its rated temperature range. Finally, verify that the total length of the probe plus this extension cable exactly matches the Proximitor Sensor's length specification before powering up the system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the correct total length rule for the Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00?
A1: The extension cable length and the probe length, when added together, must equal the Proximitor Sensor's total specified length. This ensures the system operates within its linear range of 1.5 mm (60 mils) and the recommended 1.0 mm (40 mils) gap setting.
Q2: Can I use the Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00 in extremely high-temperature environments?
A2: Yes, this extension cable is rated for operating and storage temperatures from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +351°F). Its FEP insulation provides excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance for harsh industrial applications.
Q3: What field wiring is recommended for the 330930-060-00-00?
A3: We recommend using a three-conductor shielded triad cable with wire gauge between 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG). For applications using ferrules, use 0.25 to 0.75 mm² (18 to 23 AWG). The maximum field wiring length is 305 meters (1,000 feet).
Q4: Does the Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-00 come with stainless steel armor?
