• 01: Specifies a 10 mm minimum unthreaded length on the probe body.
• 06: Specifies a 60 mm minimum overall case length.
• 10: Denotes a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) total cable length.
• 01: Identifies the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector paired with a connector protector on standard cable.
• 00: Indicates no specific agency approvals are required for this configuration.

Physical Specifications

Eddy-Current & Rotor Dynamics Characteristics

• Gap Voltage Calibration: The probe is physically gapped during machinery standstill to output a direct current bias voltage, strictly targeting the -10 VDC to -12 VDC range for API 670 linear region compliance.
• Rotor Dynamics Scaling: Converts high-frequency magnetic field absorption from the target shaft into a proportional millivolt-per-mil (or mV/um) output for radial vibration and axial thrust position tracking.
• Cross-Talk Suppression: Engineered with tuned radio frequency (RF) impedance matching within the 1.0 meter coaxial path to reject adjacent channel interference in tight mounting clearances.
• Dynamic Frequency Response: Executes unattenuated AC signal transmission from 0 Hz (static position) up to 10 kHz (dynamic vibration profile).

Bill Of Materials

• 1 x Bently Nevada 330104-01-06-10-01-00 armored probe unit
• 1 x Integrated miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector
• 1 x Connector protector sleeve

Mechanical Installation Directives

• Thread Engagement Setup: Thread the M10 x 1 casing directly into the tapped machinery bracket. Ensure the unthreaded portion (10 mm) sits completely above the target path to avoid mechanical scraping.
• Armored Cable Routing: Secure the armored casing at intervals of no more than 30 cm. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the internal coaxial cable during sharp machine housing transitions.
• Connector Protection: Deploy the supplied connector protector over the ClickLoc mechanism. Apply industrial non-conductive dielectric grease if mounting in environments with high particulate matter.
• Shielding Architecture: Do not ground the cable shield at the machine case. All drain wires must be isolated until they reach the designated grounding lug at the Proximitor sensor housing.

Technical FAQ

• Question: What is the primary sensing mechanism of the 330104-01-06-10-01-00?

Answer: It utilizes the eddy-current principle, emitting a high-frequency radio signal to detect distance variations between the probe tip and a conductive rotating shaft.

• Question: What are the threading specifications on the probe casing?

Answer: The housing features an M10 x 1 metric thread configuration intended for direct tapping into bearing housings or mounting brackets.

• Question: Does the unit require individual bench calibration before installation?

Answer: No, it provides total component interchangeability within the 3300 XL system, eliminating the need to match specific probes to specific extension cables or sensors.

• Question: What is the physical cable length provided by the -10 suffix?

Answer: The -10 suffix strictly dictates a 1.0 meter (3.3 feet) overall system length from the probe tip to the connector base.

• Question: What mechanism secures the signal connector?

Answer: It utilizes a ClickLoc miniature coaxial connector which provides tactile feedback upon proper mating with extension cabling.

• Question: How is the unthreaded length utilized during mechanical setup?

Answer: The 10 mm unthreaded tip zone prevents thread binding at the extreme end of the probe and reduces the risk of physical shaft contact damage.

• Question: What happens if the probe is exposed to electromagnetic interference (EMI)?

Answer: The integrated coaxial shield effectively suppresses external EMI, provided the shielding is grounded solely at the Proximitor end of the measurement loop.

• Question: Is external power directly applied to the probe housing?

Answer: No, the probe is a passive component. It receives its high-frequency excitation signal directly from the connected 3300 XL Proximitor module.
