Bently Nevada 330103-00-03-90-12-05 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe 12-Month Warranty

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the primary application of the 330103-00-03-90-12-05 proximity probe?
It is primarily used for vibration and position measurements in fluid-film bearing machines, including Keyphasor reference and speed applications.

Is the 330103 probe compliant with API 670 standard?
Yes, the complete 3300 XL 8 mm system including this probe meets API 670 requirements for mechanical configuration, accuracy, linear range, and temperature stability.

Can the 330103 probe be used with older 3300 series systems?
Yes, it is both electrically and physically backward compatible with non-XL 3300 5 mm and 8 mm system components, maintaining full interchangeability.

What is the recommended gap voltage for accurate radial vibration measurement?
The recommended gap setting is approximately -9 VDC, equivalent to a physical distance of 1.27 mm (50 mils).

Is special tooling required to install the ClickLoc connectors?
No special tools are needed. The ClickLoc connectors are designed for finger-tight installation with a click-lock mechanism to prevent loosening.

How does this probe handle high-temperature environments?
Extended Temperature Range (ETR) versions of this probe are available, capable of up to +218°C at the probe tip and +260°C along the cable.

What type of cable insulation is used in this model?
The standard probe uses FEP insulation. FluidLoc options are available to prevent oil migration through the cable jacket in lubrication-rich environments.

Can this probe be installed in hazardous areas?
Yes. It holds ATEX, IECEx, and CSA certifications for hazardous area use, including Zone 0 and Zone 2 environments, when installed per certified drawings.
