Description

Bently Nevada 330130-045-12-05 specifies a 4.5-meter (14.8 feet) FluidLoc extension cable with pre-installed connector protectors and CSA, ATEX, and IECEx hazardous area approvals for 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems. This cable configuration is selected for applications requiring reliable sealing against fluid migration and enhanced environmental shielding at the connector junction. By employing the specialized FluidLoc cable, this assembly blocks oil, moisture, and other process liquids from traveling through the cable interior and exiting the machine casing, maintaining housing integrity in high-exposure industrial environments.

Unlike standard unarmored configurations, the Option 12 variant includes pre-installed fluorosilicone connector protectors on the female connector end. These protectors shield the gold-plated ClickLoc connector from fluids, grime, and physical wear, eliminating the need for manual taping or field-fitted boots. The 4.5-meter length is typically matched with a 0.5-meter probe to achieve a complete 5.0-meter transducer system, or configured in other compatible matching system lengths to align with the calibrated input requirements of the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor.

Features

• FluidLoc Cable Construction: Features a patented inner seal design that prevents oil and other process liquids from leaking along the cable interior.
• Integrated Connector Protectors: Includes pre-installed fluorosilicone connector protectors on the female end to seal the ClickLoc connection against oil, moisture, and debris.
• 4.5-Meter Length: Precision-calibrated 4.5 m (14.8 feet) coaxial cable length ensuring matched electrical impedance for accurate vibration and position measurements.
• ClickLoc Connectors: Corrosion-resistant, gold-plated brass connectors that lock securely with a tactile click, requiring no special installation tools.
• Hazardous Area Approval (Option 05): Certified for intrinsically safe and non-incendive installations under CSA, ATEX, and IECEx agency standards.
• High Durability: FEP insulation provides resistance to chemical exposure and high temperatures within the standard operating range.

Applications

This extension cable is used in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems on rotating equipment. It is particularly suited for:

• Steam and gas turbine bearing housing vibration monitoring.
• Centrifugal compressor shaft vibration and axial position measurement.
• Gearbox shaft relative displacement tracking in wet or oil-rich environments.
• Hazardous area machinery installations requiring ATEX, IECEx, or CSA certification.
• Generators and pumps where high-pressure oil containment is critical.

Installation Guidelines

• Torque Specification: Connectors should be tightened finger-tight. The ClickLoc mechanism will "click" to signify a secure, locked connection. Do not use pliers or other tools on XL gold connectors.
• Cable Bend Radius: Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) during routing to prevent signal degradation or internal conductor failure.
• Routing: Route the extension cable through protective conduit or cable trays to prevent physical damage from machinery movement. Avoid routing near high-voltage lines to minimize electromagnetic interference.
• Connector Protection: Ensure the fluorosilicone connector protector is fully seated over the connection joint to prevent ingress of oils, water, or particulate contaminants.

Compliance and Certifications

• ATEX/IECEx: Intrinsically Safe and Non-Incendive certification for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
• CSA: Approved for Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 environments.
• CE Mark: Fully compliant with applicable European safety and electromagnetic compatibility directives.
• RoHS: Lead-free construction in compliance with environmental standards.
