330130-045-13-00 Bently Nevada FluidLoc Extension Cable

Product Overview

The 330130-045-13-00 is an authentic, U.S.A.-manufactured heavy-duty armored extension cable from the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm series. Weighing exactly 0.618 kg, this precision co-axial cable transmits raw eddy current signals between a proximity probe and a Proximitor Sensor. It protects signal integrity across a 2 mm (80 mils) linear range, supporting critical machinery protection systems on high-speed turbines and compressors.

Core Technical Advantages

• FluidLoc Cable Technology: Patented internal sealing blocks lubricating oils and process liquids from traveling through the inside of the cable casing into dry electrical enclosures.
• Rugged Armored Plating: Features heavy-duty interlocking armor cladding weighing 103 g/m to protect the core line from physical crush hazards and sharp bends.
• Optimized Electrical Integrity: Provides a tight core resistance profile ($0.99 \pm 0.15\ \Omega$) and nominal capacitance (69.9 pF/m) to prevent signal distortion or phase shift over the 4.5-meter run.

Engineering Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

• Total Transducer Loop Matching: Verify that the 4.5-meter extension cable length is paired with a matching 3300 XL 8 mm probe to form a complete 5.0-meter or 9.0-meter calibrated sensor loop. Mixing system lengths throws off the scale factor.
• Connector Protection Environment: Use the integrated hardware connector protector for standard runs. While silicone tape is included with the cable, do not use tape alone if the junction loop is exposed to aggressive turbine oil environments.
• Field Wiring Practices: Connect the driver block using 3-conductor shielded triad tinned field wiring ($0.2\text{ to }1.5\text{ mm}^2$ / 16 to 24 AWG). Limit the total run distance to 305 meters (1,000 feet) max between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor panel to prevent high-frequency signal roll-off.

Why Choose This Configuration

• Severe Media Isolation: Combining an armored structural exterior with FluidLoc liquid isolation ensures the assembly survives physical impacts and continuous immersion in hydraulic and turbine fluids.
• Calibrated Accuracy: Engineered to provide stable performance under extreme thermal and humidity conditions, exhibiting minimal output voltage drift (less than 2 mV per volt input change).

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the exact physical weight of this specific armored model for shipping?
A1: The 330130-045-13-00 armored assembly weighs exactly 0.618 kg (1.36 lbs) net, compared to only 0.204 kg for standard unarmored versions.

Q2: Can I use the included silicone tape if the cable is exposed to hot turbine oil?
A2: No. If the probe-to-extension connector interface is exposed to turbine oil splash or mist, always install the rigid connector protector rather than silicone tape to ensure long-term chemical sealing.

Q3: What does the '00' approval suffix indicate for this cable?
A3: The '00' option stands for "Not Required," meaning this product is built to standard industrial performance metrics without hazardous area certification tracking on the labeling.
