Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-02-CN 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 reliable transfer of vibration, displacement, and Keyphasor signals for continuous machinery condition monitoring and protection.

With an 8-meter cable length, this extension cable is suitable for installations requiring extended routing while maintaining excellent signal integrity. The “-CN” suffix identifies a specific configuration or regional ordering variant within the Bently Nevada product series.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-080-02-CN functions as a precision low-loss coaxial extension cable, transmitting the analog signal generated by the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor while preserving measurement accuracy.

Signal Transmission Process

1. The proximity probe detects shaft movement using eddy-current technology.
2. The probe converts mechanical displacement into an analog electrical signal.
3. The extension cable transfers the signal with minimal attenuation.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for monitoring and protection systems.
