Bently Nevada 330130-040-00-05 – Extension Cable for 3300 XL Proximity Transducer Systems

The Bently Nevada 330130-040-00-05 is a factory-terminated extension cable used with 3300 XL proximity probes and Proximitor sensors. In many cases it’s the simplest way to keep your system length within Bently’s calibration standards (typically 5 m or 9 m systems), while routing through cabinets and conduit without fighting custom terminations. From my experience, this 4.0 m length pairs nicely with a 1.0 m probe to achieve a 5 m system, which is still the most common setup on turbines, compressors, and critical pumps.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Purpose-built for 3300 XL systems – Connects the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor while maintaining the required system length for proper calibration.
• 4.0 m factory-terminated length – Typically paired with a 1.0 m probe to achieve a standard 5 m system; helps ensure correct scale factors and linearity.
• Stable signal integrity – Coaxial construction carries both gap (DC) and vibration (AC) signals with low noise and consistent impedance.
• Industrial-grade jacket – Designed for elevated temperatures and oily machinery spaces; routing is straightforward in cable trays or flexible conduit.
• Drop-in compatibility – Works with common 3300 XL components such as 330103/330104 probes and 330180 Proximitor sensors.
• Reduced installation risk – Pre-terminated ends avoid field crimp mistakes and the intermittent faults that follow later on.

Technical Specifications

Notes: Specifications reflect the typical 3300 XL extension cable family. Exact connector orientation/options for “-05” variants may vary by build; we can verify against your installed base if needed.

Application Fields

Commonly used on large rotating equipment where continuous vibration and shaft position monitoring is essential. You’ll see this cable in:

• Steam and gas turbines – standard 5 m/9 m systems for radial/axial measurements
• Compressors and expanders – stable signal transmission over hot, oily runs
• Critical pumps and fans – quick replacements during turnarounds without re-terminating
• Gearboxes – consistent calibration when probes are relocated or rerouted

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Factory terminations reduce noise pickup and the “mystery intermittents” that cost hours to chase.
• Compatibility – Matches 330103/330104 probes and 330180 Proximitor sensors, keeping system linearity in spec.
• Lower lifecycle cost – Fast swap-out during outages; no special tools or field crimp kits typically required.
• Technical backing – We help check your probe + cable lengths so the final system length meets Bently’s standard scales (often 5 m or 9 m).

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment – Install in a clean, dry route where possible; use glands when entering enclosures; allow ventilation around the Proximitor.
• Routing – Keep away from high-voltage runs; maintain a gentle bend radius (typically ≥ 25 mm) to avoid stressing the coax.
• Connections – Hand-tighten the mini‑coax connectors; avoid over-torque. Verify continuity if the route is long or shared with other cables.
• System length check – Confirm the combined probe + extension cable length aligns with your Proximitor setup (you might notice bias voltage drifting if it doesn’t).
• Routine care – Periodically inspect connectors for oil ingress; clean contacts carefully; no calibration required for the cable itself, but a quick bias/mV/µm check on the monitor is good practice.
• Safety – De-energize associated monitor channels before disconnecting. In classified areas, follow site approvals and segregation rules.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufacturer quality system typically compliant with ISO 9001
• RoHS conformity for most 3300 XL cabling; CE marking applies at the system level
• Our warranty: 12 months from shipment
