Description
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.

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.
Field feedback
A maintenance lead at a combined-cycle plant told us they swapped in a 330103 unit during a short outage and the bias voltage matched their baseline within minutes. That kind of repeatability, especially when cable lengths are correct, tends to keep startups drama-free.
