Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-00-05 is a 4.5-meter standard triaxial extension cable designed for use within the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. It bridges the signal path between a 3300 XL proximity probe (typically 0.5m lead) and a remote 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, completing a precise 5.0-meter system electrical length.

Keeping this extension cable stocked as New Surplus prevents unexpected downtime during routine machine overhauls or shaft vibration troubleshooting. Refurbished or used extension cables frequently develop hidden shield fatigue, internal capacitance drift, or contaminated connectors—causing false vibration readings, scale factor degradation, or spurious machine trips. Sourcing New Surplus guarantees factory-calibrated impedance, full API 670 compliance, and optimal Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Installation & Configuration Guide

Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)

  1. Verify that the combined length of the probe lead (e.g., 0.5m) and extension cable (4.5m) matches the required 5.0-meter Proximitor system calibration.
  2. Put on an anti-static wrist strap and clean the installation workspace.
  3. Inspect cable routing paths across the machine housing to ensure clearance from extreme heat sources or rotating shafts.

Stage 2: Removal

  1. Unscrew the gold-plated click-type connector from the proximity probe lead.
  2. Disconnect the opposite end of the extension cable from the Proximitor sensor terminal or junction box.
  3. Carefully pull the degraded cable out of the conduit or cable tray without exceeding its minimum bend radius.

Stage 3: Installation (Clone & Seat)

  1. Route the new 330130-045-00-05 cable through protective conduit, keeping bends greater than the 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) minimum radius.
  2. Join the gold click-type connectors by hand until a distinct tactile “click” is felt.
  3. Apply recommended connector tightening torque: finger-tight for XL-to-XL connections, or finger-tight plus 1/8 turn using pliers if interfacing with legacy non-XL connectors.
  4. Install the included silicone tape or optional connector protectors over the junction to prevent moisture penetration.

Stage 4: Power-On & Testing

  1. Measure the DC gap voltage at the Proximitor Sensor output using a digital multimeter.
  2. Confirm the Incremental Scale Factor (ISF) reads approximately 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm) across the linear range.
  3. Verify that zero fault or open-circuit conditions appear on the main 3500 or 2300 machinery monitoring system.

 

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-00-05 is a passive high-frequency triaxial signal carrier and does not contain firmware or software microcode.

  • Backward Compatibility: Fully interchangeable with legacy non-XL 3300 series 5mm and 8mm probes and Proximitor sensors.
  • Electrical Length Matching: Never trim, cut, or splice proximity extension cables. Altering physical length changes overall system capacitance, destroying the 200 mV/mil scale factor calibration and causing inaccurate shaft position or vibration measurements.
  • Connector Integrity: Always keep gold contacts free of oil, solvent, and dust during installation to prevent signal attenuation or intermittent noisy channels.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is this Bently Nevada 330130-045-00-05 cable brand new or refurbished?

This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All cables are held in original anti-static packaging and inspected for physical and electrical integrity.

2. What do the option numbers (-045-00-05) mean in the part number?

The breakdown is as follows: 045 = 4.5 meters (14.8 feet) cable length; 00 = Standard cable without armor or connector protector; 05 = Multiple hazardous area agency approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx).

3. Can I use a 4.5m extension cable with a 1.0m probe lead?

If you connect a 4.5m extension cable to a 1.0m probe, your total sensor length becomes 5.5 meters. You must ensure the connected 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is calibrated specifically for a 5.5m or 9.0m total system. Mixing 5.0m cables with 9.0m Proximitor drivers will produce severe calibration errors.

4. Does this standard cable version (-00) include armor protection?

No. The -00 option designates a flexible, standard FEP-insulated triaxial cable. If your routing path requires stainless steel flexible armor for heavy mechanical protection, you would need the -01 option code (e.g., 330130-045-01-05).

5. What warranty is provided with this New Surplus extension cable?

Every New Surplus 330130-045-00-05 extension cable comes with a full 12-month replacement warranty. Cables ship in ESD-safe packaging complete with quality verification documentation.
