Probe | 330104-00-04-10-01-05 Bently Nevada

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330104-00-04-10-01-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe, precision-engineered for use in hazardous areas. This model is uniquely equipped with a connector protector to safeguard signal integrity and carries full CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. Manufactured in the U.S.A., it features an M10 x 1 metric thread and 1.0 meter of armored cable, ensuring robust mechanical protection and industry-leading accuracy for monitoring critical rotating machinery in explosive or corrosive environments.

Core Technical Advantages

Certified for Hazardous Environments

With the -05 agency approval option, this probe meets stringent international safety standards for explosive atmospheres. It is certified by CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, allowing for safe installation in Class I, II, and III Division 1 areas when connected to appropriate intrinsically safe circuits.

Superior Connector Protection

This configuration includes a specialized connector protector for the ClickLoc coaxial interface. This hardware prevents the ingress of oil, moisture, and contaminants, which are the primary causes of signal drift and maintenance interventions in oil-mist or high-humidity environments.

Rugged Armored Construction

The 1.0-meter armored cable provides a stainless steel outer layer that protects the internal 50-ohm coaxial core from crushing, abrasion, and accidental cutting during machinery operation or maintenance. The AISI 303/304 stainless steel case ensures long-term corrosion resistance.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Safety Notes

• Target Material: Factory calibrated for AISI 4140 steel. Using other target materials will invalidate accuracy and interchangeability specifications.
• Connector Protector: Ensure the protector is correctly threaded and seated to maintain the environmental seal for the coaxial connection.
• Pressure Sealing: The Viton® O-ring provides a high-integrity seal for differential pressure between the PPS tip and the probe case.

Technical FAQs

Q1: How does the connector protector improve reliability?

A1: It acts as a secondary seal for the ClickLoc connector, specifically preventing oil ingress which can lead to high-impedance connections and inaccurate vibration readings.

Q2: Is this probe compatible with standard 3300 XL Proximitor sensors?

A2: Yes, it is fully compatible with all 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor sensors and extension cables, provided the total system length (probe + cable) remains 5 or 9 meters as required by the sensor.

Q3: What is the benefit of the -05 Approval Option?

A3: It provides legal and safety compliance for global markets, allowing the probe to be used in Class I, Division 1 areas (North America) and Zone 0/1 areas (Europe and International).
