Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-05-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8 mm probe with a 3/8-24 UNF thread and no armor. It delivers a 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil) incremental scale factor for accurate radial vibration and position measurements in machinery protection systems. The probe features a 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) total length, a 9.6 inch overall case length, and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with standard cable. Its patented TipLoc molding and CableLoc design provide a robust bond and 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Applications
The Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-05-02-00 excels in radial vibration monitoring on steam turbines, compressors, and pumps where a 0.5 meter probe length suits tight installation spaces. Its 3/8-24 UNF thread ensures secure mounting, and the 80 mil linear range with -9 Vdc recommended gap setting provides reliable shaft position data. The stainless steel case and PPS tip withstand temperatures up to +177°C, making it ideal for high-temperature industrial environments. PLC Source PRO offers fast quote response and genuine parts availability to keep your monitoring systems operational.
Compatibility and Selection Guide
This probe is compatible with 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors and extension cables using miniature coaxial ClickLoc connectors. When selecting a probe, consider the total length and connector type to match your existing field wiring. The 330101-00-96-05-02-00 has a 0.5 meter length and standard cable, suitable for direct connection without extension. For longer runs, use a 3300 XL extension cable with the same connector type. Ensure the probe's linear range and scale factor align with your monitor's requirements. PLC Source PRO provides technical support to verify compatibility.
Installation and Maintenance
Install the Bently Nevada 330101-00-96-05-02-00 with a recommended gap setting of -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27 mm or 50 mils) for radial vibration measurements. Use a 3/8-24 UNF threaded mounting hole and tighten to secure the probe without over-torquing. Field wiring should use 3 conductor shielded triad cable with 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (16 to 24 AWG) tinned wire, with a maximum length of 305 meters (1,000 feet) between the Proximitor Sensor and monitor. Regular inspection of the probe tip and cable for physical damage ensures reliable operation. Avoid exposing the probe to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent premature pressure seal failure.
