BENTLY NEVADA 330103-00-13-10-02-00 – 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor for 8 mm Proximity Probe Systems

The BENTLY NEVADA 330103-00-13-10-02-00 is a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor used with 8 mm proximity probes and matching extension cables to measure shaft vibration and rotor position on critical rotating machinery. From my experience, it’s the dependable, “fit-and-forget” module plants tend to choose when they need API 670-compliant vibration and gap measurements on turbines, compressors, large motors, and pumps. You might notice that it drops straight into existing 3300 XL 8 mm systems, so commissioning is typically quick and repeatable.

Key Features

• Designed for 8 mm probe systems – Pairs with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes and matching extension cables for a calibrated system.
• Standard 200 mV/mil scale factor – Typically 7.87 mV/µm, giving familiar readings and easy comparison across assets.
• Gap and dynamic vibration output – Provides a DC gap voltage plus AC vibration signal for monitors and analyzers.
• Usable frequency response for rotating assets – In most cases supports machinery vibration up to the typical 3300 XL bandwidth used in API 670 monitoring.
• Robust field-mount construction – Built to handle plant environments; wiring is straightforward with screw terminals.
• Drop-in compatibility – Works with Bently Nevada monitoring racks and transmitters that power 3300 XL Proximitors.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This Proximitor Sensor is commonly used on:

• Steam and gas turbines – shaft vibration, axial position (with suitable probe placement)
• Centrifugal compressors and expanders – radial vibration and rotor-to-stator clearance trending
• Large motors, generators, and gearboxes – bearing vibration, slow-roll checks, and alignment verification
• Critical pumps and fans – condition monitoring tied into API 670-compliant systems

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – The 3300 XL line is well-proven. Field teams typically report stable baselines and low drift over long intervals.
• Compatibility – Works with existing Bently Nevada monitors and 3300 XL probe/cable sets, reducing commissioning time.
• Measurement confidence – Standard 200 mV/mil scaling and known linear range keep diagnostics predictable across assets.
• Procurement efficiency – A true drop-in replacement helps avoid re-cabling or software re-scaling, which in many cases saves both labor and outage time.
• Support – We can help verify option codes (-00-13-10-02-00) against your installed probe and extension cable lengths before shipping.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & mounting – Install in a clean, dry panel or protected field enclosure. Provide ventilation to stay within −35 to +85 °C.
• Wiring – Use shielded cable; ground at one end to avoid loops. Keep probe leads and monitor wiring away from high-voltage runs.
• Probe setup – Set the mechanical gap in the mid-range of the Proximitor’s DC output (often around −10 to −12 V) for best linearity; use ferromagnetic targets consistent with Bently Nevada specs.
• Routine checks – Verify DC gap, observe bias voltage trends, and review vibration amplitude/phase. Light dust cleaning and connector re-seating typically once per outage.
• Calibration – If components (probe, extension, Proximitor) are mixed, confirm total system length and re-validate scale factor (200 mV/mil) at the monitor.
• Firmware/monitor – The Proximitor itself is analog; keep your monitor firmware current and configuration aligned with the probe system length.
• Safety – De-energize the monitor supply and lock out rotating equipment before any probe or wiring work.

Quality & Certifications

Bently Nevada 3300 XL components are typically CE compliant and RoHS-conforming. Hazardous area approvals (e.g., ATEX/IECEx/CSA) depend on the exact option codes; this specific -00-13-10-02-00 variant appears to be a standard configuration. Manufacturer warranty practices apply; our supply includes a 365-day warranty from delivery.

Compatible/Supporting Components

• 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe – Choose lengths and thread types to match your machine points.
• 3300 XL Extension Cable – 5 m, 7 m, and 9 m system lengths (probe + cable) are common; match lengths across the full chain.
• Bently Nevada Monitors – 3500/3300 series monitoring systems that power the Proximitor and process the analog signals.
