330130-085-11-00 Extension Cable Armored Bently Nevada

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-085-11-00 is an 8.5-meter armored extension cable designed for use with the 3300 XL series of proximity transducer systems. This cable acts as the critical link between a proximity probe and the Proximitor® sensor, ensuring reliable signal transmission for machinery health monitoring. By utilizing the **Armored FluidLoc** configuration, this model provides superior resistance against crushing, abrasion, and environmental contaminants. It is specifically built for industrial settings where cables are exposed to harsh conditions, high temperatures, and potential fluid contact, ensuring long-term stability for your monitoring hardware.

Core Technical Advantages

Armored FluidLoc™ Protection

The Option 11 Armored FluidLoc design provides dual protection. The stainless steel armor shields the cable from mechanical damage and rodents, while the FluidLoc technology creates an internal seal. This prevents oil, water, or other industrial fluids from "wicking" through the cable and reaching the sensitive electronics of the Proximitor sensor.

Enhanced Mechanical Durability

With its rugged armored exterior, the 330130-085-11-00 is ideal for "tight space" installations where the cable may be pulled through conduits or subjected to sharp edges. Despite its strength, the cable maintains the flexibility required for easy routing around complex machinery frames.

High-Temperature & Corrosion Resistance

Engineered for the factory floor, the materials used in this extension cable are resistant to common industrial chemicals and capable of operating in high-temperature zones. This ensures that your vibration data remains consistent and accurate, regardless of the environmental stressors present near the machine.

Installation Guidelines

• Proper Matching: This 8.5m extension cable must be used with a 0.5m proximity probe to achieve the required 9-meter total system length. Incorrect length matching will lead to significant measurement errors.
• Grounding: Ensure the cable armor is properly grounded according to Bently Nevada's standard practices to prevent ground loops and electromagnetic interference.
• Connector Protection: Always use the provided connector protectors or heat-shrink tubing to seal the connection between the probe and the extension cable.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the benefit of "Armored" vs. "Unarmored" cables?

A1: Armored cables like this model provide high resistance to physical impact and crushing, which is essential if the cable is routed in areas with heavy foot traffic or moving machinery parts.

Q2: Does "No Approval" mean the cable is lower quality?

A2: Not at all. It simply means the cable has not been certified for use in intrinsically safe (hazardous) locations. The build quality and electrical performance are identical to the certified versions.

Q3: Can this cable withstand oil exposure?

A3: Yes, the FluidLoc feature is specifically designed to block oil migration through the cable, protecting your Proximitor sensor from internal contamination.
