Bently Nevada 330130-045-02-05 3300 XL Cable 4.5m

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-02-05 is a high-reliability 3300 XL extension cable designed for hazardous industrial environments. Measuring 4.5 meters (14.8 feet) and weighing approximately 0.204 kg, this cable provides the essential link between a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe and its Proximitor® sensor. This model includes factory-installed connector protectors (Option 02) and carries global safety certifications, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx (Option 05), ensuring accurate vibration data transmission in critical machinery monitoring systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

When installing the 330130-045-02-05, utilize the integrated connector protector to shield the probe-to-extension connection from moisture and physical damage. While silicone tape is included with 3300 XL cables, it is not recommended for environments where the connection will be exposed to turbine oil; in such cases, the hard connector protector is the superior choice. To ensure a full 2 mm (80 mil) linear range, the system requires a power supply of -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc when used with safety barriers.

Engineering Advantages

The 330130-045-02-05 offers unmatched signal stability through its low-capacitance design, which is essential for long-distance field wiring (up to 305 meters). The 3300 XL series features an improved CableLoc design, providing 330 N (75 lbf) of pull strength to ensure the cable remains securely attached during maintenance or high-vibration events. Furthermore, its global hazardous area approvals (ATEX/IECEx/CSA) make it a standardized solution for multinational industrial operations, ensuring compliance regardless of the installation site.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of the Connector Protector (Option 02)?
A1: The connector protector provides a rugged mechanical shell around the miniature coaxial junction, preventing accidental disconnection and offering better protection against moisture than tape alone.

Q2: Can this cable be used with non-standard targets?
A2: While designed for AISI 4140 steel, it can be used with other materials. However, the system's accuracy and interchangeability specs only apply when calibrated to the 4140 steel target.

Q3: How does this cable handle high-humidity environments?
A3: It is tested in accordance with IEC standard 68-2-3, maintaining less than a 3% change in Average Scale Factor (ASF) even after 56 days of exposure to 93% humidity.
