Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-085-10-CN is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable used in the Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity transducer system.

It provides the signal connection between the 3300 XL proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, ensuring accurate transmission of vibration, displacement, and Keyphasor signals used in rotating machinery monitoring and protection systems.

With an 8.5-meter cable length, this model supports extended routing in large industrial installations while maintaining signal integrity. The “-CN” suffix indicates a specific configuration or regional variant within the Bently Nevada ordering system.

Technical Specifications

Function and Working Principle

The 330130-085-10-CN functions as a low-loss coaxial transmission cable, carrying analog signals from the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor while preserving measurement accuracy over extended distances.

Signal Flow

1. The proximity probe detects shaft vibration using eddy-current technology.
2. Mechanical displacement is converted into an analog electrical signal.
3. The extension cable transmits the signal to the Proximitor sensor.
4. The Proximitor sensor conditions the signal for monitoring and protection systems.
