Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-05 3300 NSv Extension Cable

Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-05 3300 NSv Extension Cable

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-05 serves as a high-quality extension cable for the 3300 NSv proximity probe system. This model comes without stainless steel armor, offering excellent flexibility and lighter weight for easier installation and routing. The "060" length code signifies a 6.0-meter (19.7 feet) cable, providing extended reach between the probe and the Proximitor sensor. Its coaxial FEP insulation delivers superior dielectric properties and chemical resistance. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this cable carries multiple agency approvals, confirming its suitability for installations requiring compliance with various international standards.

Technical Specifications & Performance

The 330930-060-00-05 offers precise electrical characteristics that ensure accurate measurements. Its typical capacitance measures 69.9 pF/m (21.3 pF/ft) (highlighted in red) , maintaining signal integrity throughout the measurement chain. The DC resistance for the center conductor registers at 0.220 Ω/m (0.067 Ω/ft) (highlighted in red) , while the shield resistance reads 0.066 Ω/m (0.020 Ω/ft) (highlighted in red) . These low resistance values minimize signal loss and guarantee clean data transmission. The cable uses a 75 Ω coaxial configuration, providing effective shielding against electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the entire system maintains linearity across a 1.5 mm (60 mils) range, beginning at approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target.

Cable Configuration and Design

This particular model of the 3300 NSv extension cable features the "00" connector and cable option, which specifies the cable without stainless steel armor. This unarmored design results in a more flexible and lighter cable, simplifying installation in tight spaces or complex routing paths. The cable weighs significantly less than armored versions, reducing strain on connectors and making handling easier. For environments requiring mechanical protection, armored versions remain available as an alternative. The 3300 NSv extension cable also incorporates gold-plated brass connectors, which provide excellent corrosion resistance and maintain secure electrical contact over time.

Mechanical Properties and Temperature Range

The cable's FEP insulation ensures durability across a broad spectrum of operating conditions. FEP offers superior dielectric strength and resists degradation from chemicals, moisture, and heat. The operating and storage temperature spans -51°C to +177°C (-60°F to +351°F) (highlighted in red) , making this cable suitable for high-temperature environments near turbines, compressors, and generators. Furthermore, the cable features a tensile strength rating of 220 N (50 lb) (highlighted in red) at the connectors, ensuring robust mechanical reliability. The probe case to probe lead and the probe lead to extension cable connectors both share this same tensile strength rating.

Compatibility and System Integration

This extension cable integrates seamlessly with the 3300 NSv transducer system. It connects to 3300 NSv probes and Proximitor sensors, forming a complete monitoring solution. When selecting components, ensure that the extension cable length and the probe length add together to match the Proximitor Sensor total length for proper system calibration. For field wiring between the Proximitor sensor and the monitor, we recommend using a three-conductor shielded triad cable, with a maximum run of 305 meters (1,000 feet). The system also tolerates 60 Hz magnetic fields up to 300 Gauss, with minimal output voltage variation across different gap settings.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the Bently Nevada 330930-060-00-05 requires following a few essential steps for optimal performance. First, always power down the system before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Next, verify that the total length of the probe plus the extension cable matches your Proximitor sensor's specified total length. Then, connect the extension cable to the probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring the gold-plated connectors mate securely. After connecting, route the cable carefully, avoiding sharp bends or contact with high-temperature surfaces. Finally, secure the cable using appropriate cable ties or clamps to prevent movement or vibration damage. The recommended gap setting for optimal linearity is 1.0 mm (40 mils) (highlighted in red) .
