Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-02-00 is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable designed for use with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System.

It serves as the signal transmission link between the 3300 XL proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate transfer of vibration, displacement, and Keyphasor signals for rotating machinery monitoring.

Featuring an 8-meter cable length, this extension cable is ideal for installations requiring extended routing while maintaining high signal integrity and system reliability.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-080-02-00 functions as a low-loss coaxial signal transmission cable, carrying the analog signal generated by the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor without introducing significant attenuation or electrical interference.

Signal Transmission Process

1. The proximity probe detects shaft movement using eddy-current technology.
2. The probe generates an analog electrical signal proportional to shaft displacement.
3. The extension cable transfers the signal to the Proximitor sensor.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for monitoring and protection systems.
