Product Overview
When older probes fail under extreme conditions, the Bently Nevada 330141-08-50-11-00 provides a robust upgrade with advanced TipLoc and CableLoc technology. This 3300 XL 8 mm probe with armor features a 5.0 meter (16.4 feet) cable and a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable for enhanced reliability. Designed for use with the 5 meter Proximitor sensor, it offers a direct replacement for earlier models in the 3300 series.

Applications
The Bently Nevada 330141-08-50-11-00 excels in machine vibration monitoring for turbines, compressors, and pumps. In high-vibration environments, the patented TipLoc molding method ensures a stronger bond between probe tip and body, preventing failures common in earlier designs. The FluidLoc cable option prevents oil leakage from inside the machine, ideal for lubricated machinery. Upgrade from older 3300 series probes to benefit from 8 mm thicker PPS encapsulation and CableLoc pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf).
Selection Guide
Before purchasing, verify that your system uses a 5 meter Proximitor sensor, as the cable length is optimized for that interface. The connector option 11 includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc with FluidLoc cable – ensure compatibility with your extension cable or monitor.

Troubleshooting and Common Issues
Older probes often suffer from cable pull-out or tip separation. The 330141-08-50-11-00 addresses this with CableLoc and TipLoc. If readings are erratic, check the ClickLoc connector for proper engagement and ensure the probe is not exposed to temperatures below -34°C (-30°F), which can compromise the pressure seal. Use only with the specified 5 meter Proximitor to avoid scale factor errors.
