• Incremental Scale Factor (ISF): 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) ±5% for 5 or 1 meter system.
• Deviation from Best Fit Straight Line (DSL): Less than ±0.025 mm (±1 mil) for standard 5 or 1 meter system.
• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).
• Probe Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel.
• Probe Temperature Range (Standard): -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).
• Probe Relative Humidity: Less than 3% change in ASF when tested at 93% humidity per IEC 68-2-3.

One distinctive spec is the patented TipLoc molding method, which provides a robust bond between the probe tip and body. This enhances durability in high-vibration applications.

Applications and Use Cases

Engineers commonly use the 330101-00-08-10-02-CN for radial vibration monitoring of turbines, compressors, and pumps. Its 2 mm linear range suits close-clearance machinery. The probe’s robust construction minimizes downtime from sensor failure.

Installation and Setup

Mount the probe with the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils). Use 3-conductor shielded triad cable for field wiring, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1000 feet) to the Proximitor sensor. Ensure the probe tip is clean and properly aligned with the target surface.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regularly inspect the probe cable and connector for damage. The patented CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, reducing cable breakage. For extended temperature range probes, avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure.

Compatibility and Integration

The 330101-00-08-10-02-CN integrates with Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor sensors and monitoring systems. It supports standard 5 or 1 meter systems and 9 meter systems. The miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector ensures secure, quick connections.
