• Unthreaded Length: 0.0 inches—no unthreaded section.
• Overall Case Length: 1.2 inches—compact design for tight spaces.
• Total Length: 1.5 meters (4.9 feet)—suits most mounting configurations.
• Connector: Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable.
• Approvals: CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certified for hazardous locations.
• Probe Tip Material: Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for durability.
• Case Material: AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel—corrosion resistant.

One standout spec is the linear range of 2 mm (80 mils), starting at approximately 0.25 mm from the target. This wide range ensures accurate vibration readings across varied operating conditions, reducing the risk of false alarms.

Installation and Setup

Mounting the 330101-00-12-15-02-05 is straightforward. The 3/8-24 UNF thread allows secure attachment to standard mounting fixtures. Use the ClickLoc connector for a reliable, quick cable connection. Ensure the probe tip is positioned within the recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm) for radial vibration measurements. Always follow the manufacturer's installation manual for precise alignment.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regular inspection of the probe and cable is essential. Check for physical damage, especially at the tip and connector. The PPS tip and stainless steel case resist wear, but environmental factors like temperature extremes can affect performance. The probe operates from -52°C to +177°C (standard), so verify your application stays within this range. Periodic calibration checks help maintain measurement accuracy.

Compatibility and Integration

This probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL monitoring systems. Its standard cable and ClickLoc connector integrate seamlessly with extension cables and Proximitor sensors. For field wiring, use 3-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned conductors, up to 305 meters (1,000 feet) between sensor and monitor. This flexibility supports a variety of plant layouts.
