Bently Nevada 330180-51-00 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor

Description

330180-51-00 is a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor configuration featuring a 5.0-meter system length compatibility and an integrated DIN-rail mounting base. This specific variant is specified with the 00 option code, indicating that it does not carry hazardous area agency approvals. The device houses the high-frequency oscillator and demodulator circuitry necessary to condition raw displacement data from a compatible 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe and extension cable. It converts the physical gap between the probe tip and the target material into a continuous, linear analog voltage output proportional to shaft movement.

By pairing the sensor with a 5.0-meter total system length probe and extension cable, the measurement system maintains its linear calibration across a full 2.0 mm (80 mils) dynamic range. The integrated mounting base of this variant provides built-in electrical isolation, preventing ground loops and eliminating the need for separate isolator plates. The spring-loaded terminal strips provide secure field-wiring connections without requiring manual screw-type clamping.

Features

• Option 51 specifies compatibility with a 5.0-meter total system length and incorporates a 35 mm DIN-rail mount.
• Option 00 designates a standard build where special hazardous area certifications are not required.
• Integrated SpringLoc terminal strips facilitate field-wiring installations without specialized tooling.
• Isolating mounting base prevents electromagnetic interference and ground-loop noise.
• Broad compatibility with standard 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probes and extension cables.

Applications

This Proximitor sensor is used for machinery vibration, position, and shaft keyphasor measurements in standard industrial environments. Typical installations include:

• Steam, gas, and hydro turbines
• Centrifugal and reciprocating process compressors
• High-speed industrial pumps and gearboxes
• Large electric motors and generator shaft bearings

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the mounting base is locked onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Provide a minimum of 3.05 mm (0.120 inches) of vertical clearance above the housing to facilitate standard removal from the rail. Use three-conductor shielded triad cables for field wiring to connect terminals to the monitor. Keep field wiring within the maximum distance limit of 305 meters (1000 feet) to prevent output signal attenuation.
