Product Overview

The 330190-080-01-05 is a high-performance armored extension cable specifically engineered for the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system. Functioning as a high-fidelity bridge between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, this cable is part of the Extended Temperature Range (ETR) series, designed to withstand thermal extremes while maintaining signal precision. The integrated stainless steel armor provides essential mechanical shielding against abrasion, crushing, and sharp debris commonly found in industrial environments. By ensuring a stable impedance path, this component guarantees that the voltage fluctuations representing shaft movement reach the monitoring system without distortion or loss of accuracy.

Hardware Configuration and Mechanical Parameters

• Armoring: Flexible stainless steel protective conduit

• Connector Type: Gold-plated miniature coaxial connectors with silicone boot

• System Series: 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System

• Weight: 0.06 kg (Base unit weight; actual weight varies with armor length)

• Physical Dimensions: 1.8 cm x 1.6 cm x 123 cm (Packaged reference)

• Temperature Rating: Extended Temperature Range (ETR) for high-heat environments

• Hazardous Area Approvals: CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certified for explosive atmospheres

• Interchangeability: Full "Plug-and-Play" compatibility without manual calibration

Industrial Applications and Environment Use

This armored extension cable is the standard for high-reliability signal transmission in sectors where sensor failure is not an option.

• Hazardous Environments: Extensively used in oil and gas refineries and chemical processing plants where IECEx/ATEX certification is mandatory for electrical safety.

• Turbine Monitoring: Connecting probes installed deep within steam or gas turbines to external Proximitor sensors, where high ambient temperatures and oil exposure are constant.

• Compressor Protection: Ideal for centrifugal and axial compressors where the cable must be routed through protective conduit or high-vibration zones.

• Remote Maintenance: Utilizing the 8.0-meter reach to locate sensitive Proximitor electronics in climate-controlled junction boxes far from the harsh machine surface.

• Retrofitting Projects: Replacing aging 3300 series cables due to the 330190-080-01-05's backward compatibility with non-XL 3300 components.

FAQ

Q: Does this extension cable require a specific calibration when connected to a probe?

No, the 3300 XL system is designed for complete interchangeability, meaning you can replace the 330190-080-01-05 without needing to perform bench calibration or matching to a specific probe.

Q: What are the benefits of the stainless steel armor on this model?

The armor protects the internal coaxial cable from physical damage, such as pinching in machine covers or abrasion from high-frequency vibration, ensuring a much longer service life in heavy industrial settings.

Q: Can this cable be used with a 5mm proximity probe?

While primarily designed for the 8mm XL system, compatibility depends on the specific Proximitor being used. It is generally recommended to use this cable within the 3300 XL 8 mm system to ensure signal linearity.

Q: Is this cable resistant to industrial fluids?

Yes, the cable jacket and connectors are engineered to resist moisture ingress and common industrial contaminants, including lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids.

Q: What does "Extended Temperature Range" mean for the cable's performance?

It indicates that the cable materials are rated to maintain their electrical and mechanical properties at much higher temperatures than standard industrial cables, preventing the jacket from becoming brittle or melting near hot turbine casings.
