Designed to meet the stringent demands of modern rotating machinery protection systems, the Bently Nevada 330101-00-08-10-01-CN is a high-performance 3300 XL Series 8 mm non-contacting transducer. It provides precise dynamic and static distance measurements between the probe tip and the observed target surface, making it crucial for measuring critical parameters such as radial vibration, shaft axial position, and eccentricity. This model features an unthreaded body configuration with an overall case length of 0.8 inches and a 1.0-meter standard coaxial cable terminated with a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector and protective sheath, ensuring long-term structural reliability under extreme industrial conditions.

The 330101-00-08-10-01-CN is natively designed for 1.0-meter system components. To guarantee linear voltage output scales of 7.87 V/mm (200 mV/mil), this probe must be integrated into a system with a matching overall physical cable length of 5.0 meters or 9.0 meters. Using this 1.0-meter probe requires pairing it with either a 4.0-meter or an 8.0-meter non-armored or armored extension cable (e.g., Bently Nevada 330130 series) and the corresponding 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. Mixing 3300 XL components with non-XL 3300 8 mm components is possible but will result in slightly degraded temperature stability and linearity.
During installation, engineers must keep a minimum clearances gap from surrounding structural metal to prevent side-loading calibration issues. The 8 mm probe tip requires a metal-free clearance target area of at least 1.5 times the probe diameter around the center line. If the probe is mounted too close to surrounding bracketry or the housing wall, the Proximitor sensor will experience electromagnetic field leakage, causing an artificially offset gap voltage and unrepresentative vibration readings.
When connecting the coaxial cable, ensure the ClickLoc connector is dry and free of particulate oil. Always use the included silicone-based connector protector kit (option 01) to completely encapsulate the joint. This avoids short-circuiting of the RF drive frequency by conductive bearing lubrication oils. Use a high-quality coaxial torque wrench calibrated for Bently Nevada miniature connectors (recommended torque: 0.56 to 0.90 N-m) to prevent structural over-tightening or connector pin deformation.
CRITICAL WARNING: SAFETY MANDATE
Before deploying or performing maintenance on proximity probes located inside machine casings, completely de-energize and lock-out/tag-out all high-voltage machinery drives. Ensure the shaft has completely ceased rotation. High static pressures inside turbine or compressor bodies must be vented before loosening or removing dynamic pressure seals.
Mount the proximity probe bracket securely inside the bearing housing or casing. Gently slide the unthreaded probe shaft into position, taking care not to scrape the Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) tip against steel surfaces.
Connect a digital multimeter to the DC voltage output of the matching Proximitor Sensor. Rotate the probe slowly to adjust the physical gap until the multimeter displays a voltage corresponding to the target center-scale operating gap (typically -10.0 V DC for standard 3300 XL systems).
Lock the probe positioning brackets tightly to hold the calibrated gap position. Connect the coaxial tail cable to the extension cable, apply the ClickLoc protector sheath, and route the cabling through protected conduit to prevent physical damage.
